Hey Larry,
Thanks for all the info. would be lost without it.
If you see CAPT. JACK tell him Alan,Rev.Dick says
get the class WIN! then the race.

Larry Hill · 08-29-2007, 09:22 PM

Sorry, but it was so hot today, I did not get back up to watch superstock run. It was 103 when they were running. So I am sure the heat was affecting the hemis.
Mr. Perrone, aren't you the same person who beat us in the finals of class last year?
Late this afternoon everyone was getting everything ready for class tomorrow. We have 1 time trial, then super gas runs, then round 1 of class.
The weather is starting to cool off a little. Looks like it's going to rain, then suppose to cool off.
Just got back from dinner. Tom Rhoda came down to watch class and took us out. I think he is having withdrawal systems from selling his car.
Haven't heard any more rumors about protests although a couple of cars ran faster than the Louisiana boys. We'll see tomorrow, I guess.
Went by Wann's pit earlier and I never saw the like of blue smoke. He said he was using some secret sauce.
Al Corda has had his car up on Cotten's lift trying to figure out why his has slowed down.
More tomorrow.
Patsy

Great job Patsy!! We worked late, were on the phone to racers up there, but I couldn't wait to get home to get the "real skinny"!!!!!!!

Track prep was done several times during time trials. Rick used VHT, Gold Dust and the tractor to keep the track in the best condition for us. Rick would stop in the middle of racing to spray and dust trying to keep ahead of the sunshine and track temp. Track temp second hit was in the low 130. The starting line crew did their best to keep the track in good condition.

Patsy Jimmy spun frist run but still went almost a second under. looks like it may be a good car! the fun part is going to be getting in their sat. or sun. or mon. to pick it up! I think Charley is playing games with the old wagon! one of the few to pick-up second round?

I think that engine has 8 passes on it now...who knows how fast it is! Good luck in "class" Patsy!! I think ya have them covered this year!!

Well, "It's SHOWTIME". Just called us up for the last qualifying before class. 72 degrees and overcast now. I'm sure there are going to be lots just trying to make the show this morning. Heard someone running their car at 4:30 this morning!
More later.
