John, He is about even with the 330 ' on the strip, but way in the back of the pits towards the parking lot. Near, Bob & Charlene, Bobby De Armond. Not quite as far south as the bathrooms.
His M/H is kinda green , with a gray/ silver trailer.

Thanks. I was wondering the same thing. Do you (or anyone) know if Dave still has the blue stick car?

No, I'm not in the market for a BowTie...;)

A Cobalt. Jeff Taylor drove it out west here a few times.

Day 1 from the Vegas LODRS. Today is the rain out race from the spring. Everyone gets a free run before going into eliminations. Test and tune was yesterday and was a complete gong show. Anyone who tested got two runs. When getting to the staging lanes was an average of about a 1-2 hour wait. They packed all the 5 tenths tree into one category. I.m sure there was 200 cars in the lane at most times. Current conditions are 60.4T 33.2H 27.98BP 2533DA. Should be fast.

Wind out of NNW at 11 mph , the temp should not top 76

First day of qualifying from the Vegas LODRS. Present conditions 63.4T 27.7H 28.06BP 2607DA. Everyone gets 2 runs today. Was a long day yesterday for competitors. Congrats to Doug Lambeck and Jody Lang. Time to warm up.

Day 2 of the Vegas LODRS division race. Can't remember the last time there was over 128 stockers here! Present conditions 66.3T 29.7H 27.99BP 2901DA. We all get one more qualifying run today. One round of eliminations tomorrow unless the schedule changes.

...where Alan Reinhart will continue to give him a hard time about having a Chevy engine in it...

Good luck Ryan!

Wow, 138 stockers. Know the last Divisional in Vegas always draws a crowd but that's amazing. Too bad for ten racers (including some very good drivers) who couldn't make the field.

Good luck Bob!

Re: Live from Las Vegas
 
Yes an amazing car count. A long delay before Superstock. 20 pairs or so left in SC and a major oil down.

What happened to Don Keen? He usually qualifies very well here. I have to cheer on all the stick cars because they are so outnumbered.

He has his dad's old car here. It's been sitting for a few years..He's trying to get it all dialed in again.

Round one part way done this morning. Major oil down so we're down for a while. I was lucky enough to get by first round. Conditions on my run were 61.7T 30.7H 27.96 3036DA.

Day 2 of eliminations at Vegas. A later start this morning at 8:30. Plus the time change I'm sure has a few racers scratching their heads. Present conditions 61.5T 44.7H 27.90BP 2764DA.

Re: Live from Las Vegas
 
Bob, thanks again for all the pictures and info. Is that new paint on Charlene's car? I like the color, forgot to ask earlier.
