"Live" from Norwalk 2014

Larry Hill · 06-29-2014, 11:27 AM

We won't be there for a while, but I thought I would get things going. We are on the road with the whole family! Our son Chris, his wife Keisha and our granddaughters Aubrey and Reagan are looking forward to a great week of vacation racing and going to Cedar Point! We left this morning and are headed to NRC in Middlebury, IN to get a little bit of maintenance done on the motorhome first thing Monday morning. Then on to Norwalk.

I guess we can't get into Lenders Lot until 8 on Tuesday morning. It looks like it is raining there today, Monday and Tuesday. Anybody who lives close let us know if it looks like it is going to be muddy! I remember last year it had been raining a lot and they parked us directly at the track on Tuesday instead of running thru Lenders Lot. That would be great if that happened again this year!

It looks like the weather is going to be great the rest of the week. Sunny with highs in the 70s!

More later!

Larry we are figuring on being there at 8.01 Tuesday morning as if you have never been there, they make a point to make sure you know who is keeping time on the watch. The divisional was a mud pit and we have had big time rain for the past week, I was up there Friday testing with my parents, the fields close by driving there was "lakes and ponds" so...............
Hang out at the Walmart on the northside of Norwalk off of 250, it has a bunch of stores and restaurant's close by

Changed the converter and starter last week. Getting the ring & pinion changed on Tuesday (had a used set in there that's always whined, but now it's knockin' a little...). Got some fresh 32x14 stiff sidewall M/T's ready to mount up on Wednesday when I get there, get some fresh fuel, and be ready to rock and roll.

Thanks for tending to that noisy ring & pinion. For me it was like fingernails on a blackboard in all of your in-car video posts.

As of 10:40 central time ,there are a spots open in Stock,and SS.

NRC, gosh are those guys good! They worked on our stuff, Bo Butner's stuff, Bill and Brenda's Grubbs stuff, and Todd of Tulsa raceway and Brandon of pro mod fame stuff all at once. We got out of there about 3.00 pm. The rest had a laundry list longer than ours. NRC is the one of the best on truck type conversions available on the market today.

Should make a little less noise with these out of there...

Thanks to Babbitt Bearing Co. for setting up the new gears for my Moser M60. These old $100 clearance shelf 5.57's lasted a year or two, and lord knows what they went through before I got them, so they don't owe me anything. Fresh 5.38's in and ready to rock! (Still have my original Moser 5.17's that came with the rear as a backup) http://www.columbusbabbitt.com/
