Patsy;

Dave's right; Brian's nickname is Quack, but he's been called a lot worse than Duck! LOL

Thanks for all the "Live From...." reports!

The second round of storms are hitting now and the rain has a little bit of ice in it, let just hope the ice stays little. Damage from the first storm was limited to some sponsors awnings being damaged on the midway. Tech and credentials went smoothly for most. A lot of people were questioning the sudden increase in penalties and fines by NHRA. There was some discussion on why the new cars have a choice of four classes to run at the U. S. Nationals and the remainder of the category only has a choice of three, you know the natural class and up or down one class.

The topic that had everyone surprised was the passing of Scott Helms yesterday. Everyone that heard the news that knew Scott was shocked and saddened.

Larry, Thanks for the pictures. Track looks beautiful! Definitely need to head down there one day.

One question though, why is this guy so happy? LOL!

don't let the look fool ya, he is one of the most fun guys you will ever find!!
but you probably already know that,lol

Sorry Brian (aka Quack)! I guess someday I need to get the story behind the nickname!

It has turned into a nice night. We have been out riding around and seeing where we should have parked! There are only 3 rigs in stacking right now. Jerry Bennett is the first one in line for tomorrow, then Monty Bogan, then Ray Skillman! Parking up on the hill is a lot nicer than down here in the swamp, so the late arrivers (is that a word?) should be fine on parking.

Looks like we should have a great day tomorrow for class!

I'll second that motion Jeff, I believe there was alcohol involved with it as well, he he, all good times from the NS guys. Try to separate Quack and Morrison, safety first ya know !!!

Good Luck this weekend Larry.
Bristol is on my "TO DO" list as well. Work just keeps getting in the way.

Thanks for your "Live from reports" Miss Patsy.

Its Bristol, I turned on the Crew Chief Pro and it showed the barometer over a full point lower than Atlanta.

We get two Q runs then Class today, it should be some good races.

Got to go and ready for the fun today.
