Live From The St Louis Races
Everyone is parked on pavement. Lots of signs “Please do not park on the grass” and you know what everyone is following directions. Only racers on the grass were the ones walking there pets and taking steps to cleanup after there pets. Everything went smoothly without any complaints. Being the optimist we get two Q’s tomorrow and first round Saturday morning.
Later Any idea what an anti rain dance looks like? |

Re: Live From The St Louis Races
On the weather channel we are all green and the ground is all wet. House cleaning and paperwork morning. Good sleeping weather for most with the pitter patter of the rain and the quiet darkness of the morning.

Re: Live From The St Louis Races
A tip of the hat to the management. Most if not all of the sportsman parking spots were marked with paint and very well organized. The pro teams kind looked like ants on a sugar cube with everyone doing their particular job in their pit space. We had a chance to see some pro stuff that I have never seen before fuel car headers that start square and exit round. Machine work on the blocs for weight reduction. Screw in plugs for the water jacket or the holes used to get the sand core out. Oil pan shape to help control windage. Quick disconnect ends on the oil lines. Dry sump oil system with a big pan my guess is the team is try to reduce crankcase pressure. I?m probably wrong but I enjoy the game of Why Did They Do That.

Re: Live From The St Louis Races
My apologies for being not clear. It was a N/A cast iron block.
