Re: Live from Bristol
Just spoke with my friend Wayne Totaro and he tells me Stock just got their first run and as usual its very slow at Bristol -- 40 car field with the "old man"--- Bobby Warren leading the pack at a second under.........

Re: Live from Bristol
SS just got their first pass.
2nd pair down the track.... Mary Meintz hit the wall with her ss/ha 70 camaro. I just saw her in her pits and she gave me the thumbs up.... looks like she is ok...... Track is very slow (typical Bristol). Air when the stockers ran was 72 degrees, 70 percent humidty - 28.74 corrected baro when SS ran....got hotter, and still super muggy......85 degrees, 51 percent hum...still 28.74 Semi-cloudy... no rain around yet |
Re: Live from Bristol
Sock and SS just got their 2nd passes... no rain yet BUT muggy as all heck.
Gauges read 90 degrees and 48 percent with 28.71 baro that round. Here is few pics that I could get uploaded.... Mary Meints' camaro after she hit the top end wall..... (she has a few bumps and briuses but says she is going to be fine)...... http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r...c/DSCN2921.jpg http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r...c/DSCN2920.jpg http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r...c/DSCN2919.jpg |

Re: Live from Bristol
OMG! How did Mary crash? What happened? Is she OK? JIm

Re: Live from Bristol
Mary is OK. Looks like some bruises on her neck and shoulder from the harness.

NOTES FROM THE PITS (late friday)
Every class completed there 3rd session by 4pm today..... pros (starting with pro mods) are rolling into the lanes. Air was 89 degrees again, 46 percent hum, and 28.66 baro (plain old nasty....). I saw Anthony Fetch working under his SS car after the first qualifying session (I believe he missed the last two sessions - maybe a trans issue???) Peter Biondo (ss car) broke a front suspension piece on his second time run (possibly a "tie-rod" end).... had to be towed off the st line.... he missed the 3rd session. Michael Iacono (ss car) only ran the first tt session....... not sure why.... ps.... if there are 3 guys that don't need all the time trial sessions..... it's probably the three I just mentioned above.... they'll do just fine! Bucky Hess made all three passes with his new GOLD wheels..... they have that retro "funny car" look... watch out for Bucky... He was killing the tree all day too. SS Teardown was at the scales after the 3rd qualifying run for most of the SS modified cars. It looked like they pulled in anybody that had a hood-scoop! We are supposed to get a 4th qual session in the morning.... but with thunder storm warnings abound..... i'd bet we are done with qualifying..... we'll see in the morning. I'll try and load up some pics I took today. |

Re: Live from Bristol
Thanks for the pics ! Very nice!
|
Re: Live from Bristol
Ditto, that! Thanx for the updates on Anthony, Peter, and Michael.
|
Re: Live from Bristol
Great pics, thanks !! But Bucky's car has gone from Ugly to Ugliest in my opinion. Even the gold wheels don't save it.

Re: Live from Bristol
Are you kidding me?

Re: Live from Bristol
Grat pictures as usual. Thanks for sharing them.

Re: Live from Bristol
Well......... it's 6:30 am on saturday...... the sun is shining..... looks like we might get the morning in.
Not sure if we'll get the whole day in. Looks like nasty weather on the western end of the state. Maybe it'll blow past us. Who knows. Everyone is supposed to get a final qual pass this morning before rd 1. I thought that was very unusual for a three day national event (but i'm not complaining - I actually like it). |
Re: Live from Bristol
Tom, thanks for the effort to upload these photos. Those super stockers are beautiful.
Sorry to see that Camaro beat up. Here's a photo I took of Mary with her car at Commerce a few weeks ago. Thanks, Wayne. http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/k...IES53/MARY.jpg |
