Made it to Tuscon after 980 miles. Helping Ashton Hudson with his comp car this weekend. He switched from SS/CS to E/SMA this year. Should be fun. Never been to Tuscon. Nice track and gear scenery here.

I need to figure out this picture deal. Will try to give reports on s and SS also. Left my Chevy II at home. Baytown first race for us. Ashton and I met Tom Dolan and Tibor Kidar (sp) at the bar at the hotel tonight. Had a good conversation with Tom. More tomorrow.

Thanks Ed for your reporting, went to the Tucson track couple of years ago while we were staying in Benson AZ for a few days in the Motorhome. They were having a Nostalgia type meet and some amazing cars were there and I was impressed by the track and pits. Really like Ashton’s Escort, such a great platform for a race car. Lloyd Davis and Danny Holt race a really nice C/EA Escort out of Knoxville, otherwise you just don’t see many of them at the track.

Perhaps Ken will let you text him pics to post up or may have to spring for the PhotoBucket account which permits hosting. Think iCloud sharing will only work for Apple iCloud users like myself but others can maybe lend advice. In any case, good luck in the tough Comp field.

BTW the observatory at the Benson RV park has regular tours and if the weather cooperates the views are amazing. Seeing Saturn’s rings and getting an appreciation for the distances involved is “light years” ahead of my previous star gazing. Highly recommended.

Will there be any live streaming of the Tucson Race ?

Why does live timing suck so bad?

As in nonexistent? Too bad a sponsor didn’t step up so Warren Evans and his DragRacer.tv could stream the event live on YouTube. Thought the D2 event coverage was great.

It is FAR from a Warren Evans production, but on the Twitch streaming app there is a 'tucsondragway' channel that has a single cam stream going.
