"Live" from Norwalk Division 3 LODRS - Page 2

Michael Beard · 05-15-2015, 12:38 PM

There was a little window and the crew was proactive, working the track with brooms and blowers, but the back side of the cell just caught up with us. Rain has resumed.

Got some more decal work done, taking the old single-color cut vinyl M/T decals off of Terry's trailer that I made him in 2005, and replaced them with the full color printed ones that I just took off the Volare last night! Gotta love reusable decals. :-) I made some bigger ones for my car.

Getting some new M/T's mounted during the downtime.

Coming down pretty good now...

Bad afternoon. After about an hour of track drying a rain cell hit and wiped out much of the progress. So Mike Fuller, John Dinkel and I headed out to lunch. We're sitting in town and can see blue skies heading in from the west

A second jet dryer from IRP is here and was ready to fire up when that last rain hit.

Racing should be going by 2:30 - 3;00.

Racing at Norwalk yet?

Mike Delahanty · 05-15-2015, 07:08 PM

Just about 1 round of everything Is complete. The weather is cooperating and we may just get the second qualifying run that has been moved to the "Show". It's 7:00 and the alcohol cars are ready to go. Because of the rain delay all the classes lost 1 run today.

The day has been incident free. There is a strong tail wind and the barometer is hovering close to 29.0 - the DA 2200+ feet. Temps are in the high 70s.

No drama to report from the first qualifying session

A number of class cars came in this afternoon - and there is still pit space on the asphalt.

Yep, got Q1 in for both Stock and Super Stock. Pretty stiff crosswind, moved me around a bit in SS, but not in Stock. Just depends on when it gusts.

They'e in TA/D now, and have called all the Harley classes and PS Snowmobile.

Stock finished its Q2 run about 9:15. About 3/4 of the cars made it down the track while it was still light out before there was an interruption for a clean up. The tailwind died and the barometer was just a few hundredths lower. As part of the "Show", the Stocker wheel stands were judged by a panel of fan judges. Mike Fuller in his B/SA Camaro had the longest distance - not sure who was the winner of the style award.

80+ Stockers are here. Chris Holbrook was #1 after Q1 @ -1.14.

S/S had been called to the lanes but the Super Category semis were to be run first.

I was looking through the qualifying for stock and found something amazing. It shows Bob Michael in K/SA at .7 under in a 1962 Grand Prix. I assume that is a typo, or what combo does he run in that car???
