Live from the '11 Dutch Classic .90 style

Tom Goldman · 10-13-2011, 10:24 AM

Hi all. Since we have wifi access here at the Grove , I'll try to keep you up tp date from the Super class point of view.
Hopefully we can get some photos from Johnny D. and Kenny, along with some from my personal photographer, Kathy.

Track crew has been out blowing an sweeping the track since about 7:00 this morning and they are making some headway.
The mist and humidity are falling a little,but we need the clouds to break a little.

Parking is starting to get tight. ....There are still some spaces on asphalt for smaller rigs.
A few rigs are parked along the trees in the field and it looks fairly firm where they are.
the top of the hill is fairly firm near the bottom half.

Tech is going on at the moment. ... Not much else.

Tom,

I'll hopefully have some Pics for you tomorrow since I'll be rolling up there after work tonight. Thanks for doing the "Live From" reports for the .90 Guys.

Hopefully Jack and Toby won't get mad since you'll be cutting into their salaries now...haha.

Hopefully you can get some good photos from someone. I'll be missing the Dutch this year to attend the East Coast Drag Time Hall of Fame ceremonies in North Carolina. I'd like to be at the Dutch but I'm really not that fond of getting wet after the year we've had. Stay dry!

Eddie, if you leave now ,you still won't have missed anything.
They have stopped drying the track for the moment.
Still no rain,but it's close to misting.

They just fired up the jet drier,and said Stock will go out in about 40 min.
Still overcast and damp but the drack is almost ready to go!

Tom Goldman · 10-13-2011, 01:54 PM

Well they tried ,but the shut down area just wont dry,and it started to rain again so they pulled the plug for today.

Here's a few shots from the tech lane and around the pits.
Not too many cars out of the trailers today.

I am planning on coming up tomorrow. I was wondering if there is anyone who will be able to fill a co2 bottle. I haven't had any luck having it filled at home.
Thanks,
Mark
