I too have heard the rumor about adding the FI cars back into the regular classes. Possible 1 pound weight breaks also?

Factored runs count too?

Thanks for the reports Patsy and Larry!

Witchy Woman, you will be glad to know that Stevie Wann bought another engine (that was originally Jerry Davis's, but was at Parson & Myers shop in OH). Went by there just before dark and he had the engine in and was out driving around. Davis's engines are fast, so it is probably a good one. Keith Lynch finally got Marshall's like he wanted it. Another E/SA has shown up. Danny Black driving Jamie Fenner's car. Dick Lux finally got his car out of his trailer. Rumors going around about another protest in A/FIA depending who is the fastest during qualifying tomorrow.
More about the long wait in the tech line. We were not the only ones in line for 3 3/4 hours. I think it was a new tech guy and he was being really thorough, but most of these cars had just been to either Bowling Green, Topeka, or Cecil Co. last weekend and passed there. Like Rick Winchester said out in line "My weight sticker is only 3 days old".
It was so hot some people were getting sick from the heat. Roz Gresens for one.
Then you had to get back in line in Registration to get your credentials. Judy McCormack got sick over there. One good thing tho. They had a separate line for Stock--since we run 1st in the morning. We just went by the NHRA trailer and they were still open just before 9:00.
Got some new t-shirts this afternoon from Art's Used Parts where "If we don't have it, you don't need it". (By the way, we are in the same business as Art.)
I want to thank our son Chris for staying home and running the business for us while we are gone. Sure makes being away a lot easier.
Well went driving thru the back 40 and it sure is filling up. Somebody already has the shade tree where Jerry Bennett usually parks. We were back there for the last 3 years and it is so far away that you can't even get the track radio station to come in.
Well more tomorrow. We run at 9:00, but with 165 cars it will take quite a while, so I will post after we get back.

Good luck, Patsy.
And don't forget to tell Brain and Ryan I said hello.

[Mark Yacavone]

Hi Patsy, Thank you so much for the reports.
Can you tell me what you are using to access the internet from the M/H?
Say hello to the Big Guy and have one for me.

Great job of reporting what's been going on....very informative and entertaining. Never having been to Indy hopefully next year I can make the trip...Thanks from a division one guy, Joe Franco

Floyd, we found Ryan and said "Hi"
Mark, I use a cingular wireless card with my laptop. I've been getting really good reception here. Sometimes there will be other wireless available, but not here.
Joe, try to get to Indy sometime. It is a whole different atmosphere.
Greg, so you bought Bert's Olds. Surely Jim will go easy on it this week!
Well we go down the track in about 1 1/2 hours. Everyone around us is still in bed, but Larry is up and at 'em.
Today the weather is calling for 94, hot and humid. Hopefully nobody gets sick like they did yesterday. We have had the hot weather for over a month in Kentucky--more than 95 everyday, so it hasn't been that bad for us. ( of course, I come back and sit in the air conditioning!)
More later after we run.
Can anyone tell me how to get pictures onto here? I have my digital camera, but don't know just how to manage it?
