"Live" from Columbus Lucas Oil race

Larry Hill · 07-21-2011, 09:50 AM

Well actually we are not live yet. We are still home working. Larry is out of town doing a line-boring job and I am in the office answering the phone and quoting parts because Chris has the flu. But we do still plan on being there this weekend. I had a text from Tonya Lynch this morning that said they started parking about 9.

Anyone who is there, feel free to jump on here and let us know what is happening!!

Patsy, Don't think that it would apply to u guys, but stay away from going straight thru Columbus. There is bridge construction right where I71 south and I70 east come together downtown. Supposed to be a mess until Sept. Would suggest that it be best to got around the I270 outerbelt when possible. I would think that you guys would be going around I270 on the south leg to I70 east anyway. Supposed to by 97 today, so needless to say...a regular National Trail type meet. Myron Stutes Colubmus

Patrick when down last night to get in line with the wgn, all he told us was, it's HOT. I'am not going it's to hot for me and I'am still waiting for my quicktime bellhousing for the 428.

It's supposed to be 96° there today according to the Weather Channel. Of course, be sure to add-on that Div. 3 humidity.

guys its damn hot here, track temp was 141 when rich South was running, he detuned it big time to make sure it got down the track, went 9.97 -134 at 94 temp, 4700 ft , grain at 137, dp 91
This is at GT/FA weight (305 back in)

Good luck!!

Thank you for getting this started. The weather defies the imagination.
I saw the last Rich South run and they really worked at it.

Anyone know if there will be tech Saturday? I about had my car ready in near stocker trim then found a blown head gasket. I just finished the valve job and milling today. Assembling the head in the a.m. Plumbing fuel sample valve, installing the head, and some other odds and ends tomorrow. Then I think I might throw slicks in the hatch and drive my little fwd stocker from Cincy to Columbus just to get it tech'd in for a grade point. Too bad I just made the decision this week to get rid of the ac haha. Id consider actually trying to qualify if I can get all the pump gas pumped out...

I really have no desire to load the thing on a trailer and head to Michigan for a grade point next week..

I was in the same boat last year and never made a race.. But this year I have a much better head on my shoulders, and started with a much better (non cut up) car to prepare for stock. I really want to make Indy this year. But at least if I dont I am pretty certain ill at least get my grade points for next year this year hahaha.
