Re: "Live" from our Autumn Leaf Tour 2013
Does anybody know the last time there was a full field at a points race?

Re: "Live" from our Autumn Leaf Tour 2013
Well we have a great start for Race 1 of our Autumn Leaf Tour! Larry, Paula and Mike all made it thru 1st round. It has been a busy day, then this afternoon we have been relaxing a bit. Chris is still here and our granddaughters are here today, too. I took a few pics that I will post later.

I know there has been, Indy and Bowling Green used to be all the time, but I don't remember one in the last few years.

According to my unofficial research, the last time there was a full field at a points race was at ATCO in 2008. http://www.dragracecentral.com/drcstory.asp?ID=170502 |

Re: "Live" from our Autumn Leaf Tour 2013
It is another beautiful here in Bowling Green! Lots of dew again! Super Street is out first again at 8 followed by Stock. The Alarm Stockers are out and about warming up. It is supposed to be in the high 80s again today.
Some notes from yesterday: A few no-shows 1st round. Brett McFarland could have gotten in as an alternate, but he is still having trouble getting his Copo down the track and told Redman that he was not going to run. Bomar was a no-show as well as Bill Skillman. Bill's hood flew off during time trials and messed it up as well as broke the windshield. He will be ready for Indy though. When you own a Ford dealership, it is not as hard to get parts quickly! LOL Hairrington's car wouldn't start, so Keith Lynch got a single. Jeff Teuton finally got his car down the track and won the first round on a double breakout. We had a pretty good tail wind and there were a lot of break-outs including us. In SS, Jimmy Bridges blew up and oiled down the track pretty good. More later |

Re: "Live" from our Autumn Leaf Tour 2013
We got by Adkinson 2nd round! Yea!!! There were lots of red lights including Paula, Lynch, Witherspoon in his heads up with Sweazy, Connell, Malosky, Stubbs, Bennett, Ryan Richardson and a couple of others. We don't run again until after 2 rounds of TD, TS, and Comp.
More later. |

Re: "Live" from our Autumn Leaf Tour 2013
Atta' boy to John Dourlet for driving the Teuton Team AAA/SA Challenger to a second round victory! To go from an archaic '64 Savoy with a low-tech Hemi and only running low 10's to this 147 MPH ball of thunder must be a trip for John Dourlet. Obviously Jeff Teuton, Kevin Helms & the team have the cars all figured out. Good job!

Re: "Live" from our Autumn Leaf Tour 2013
Well we got beat by Carlton Sweasy 3rd round. We have been watching and checking out where to dump over at the campground. We are loading up and going to head on to Indy shortly. More after we get on the road.
