Live from the AAA Nationals Ennis Texas
 

I will try to do some reporting this weekend. I'll post pictures when I can. I may end up being by myself this weekend due to my son having to work. This race has class in SS. I took the time to break it down. I'm leaving in the morning so I'll report something when I get there.

Thank God for the breeze!!!! right, Ed?

Re: Live from the AAA Nationals Ennis Texas
 

If anyone wants a pic of a specific car let me know. I spent the afternoon changing oil, adjusting the clutch, changing the gear oil etc. I'm in the back 40 so the scooter is getting a workout this weekend.

Re: Live from the AAA Nationals Ennis Texas
 

I would like to see Ed Wrights Firebird and of course your Chevy II

Re: Live from the AAA Nationals Ennis Texas
 

Sure miss being there. Its one of the few races I get the chance to attend during the year. A tow vehicle mechanical failure forced me to withdraw.

You guys enjoy the weekend. Except for maybe a few showers on Friday, it should clear with much lowers temps and humidity for Saturday & Sunday.

BTW, if any of you have an older model motor home with a Heart Interface Source Manager (1 or II), and it fails, and you're a do-it-yourselfer, I might be able to help. Since they're obsolete, I've been researching upgrade possibilities for the past few days and think I've found the best solution. A little over $2k in parts and probably a solid day's worth of labor.

Re: Live from the AAA Nationals Ennis Texas
 

Here are some pics I got today. If I miss a name or two sorry about that. Tomorrow stock gets 3 qualifying runs and SS get 2 runs. I'll report what's going on.

Re: Live from the AAA Nationals Ennis Texas
 

Yes! Thank you ... we appreciate the coverage.

Rain in the forecast? We're about an hour east of Ennis and they say Friday might be a wash all day ... heavy rains called for.

Re: Live from the AAA Nationals Ennis Texas
 

Great Job, Ed! We haven't seem many pics of Dv.4 cars until now. It's great.

Re: Live from the AAA Nationals Ennis Texas
 

Bill i have a 99 fleetwood that had the heart interface fail .What did you replace yours with?

Re: Live from the AAA Nationals Ennis Texas
 

First rd is in the books. I ran .50 under. Nothing to write home about. Due to the rain forecast for tomorrow stock will run first rd today and super stock wil run class today
.

Re: Live from the AAA Nationals Ennis Texas
 

We got a couple of very light sprinkles during Q2 of stock, but it didn't last long. Its going to be a pretty busy day with class in super stock and round 1 of stock scheduled for later today.

Re: Live from the AAA Nationals Ennis Texas
 

Sorry I've been busy. I'm by myself so that makes it harder. I went 10.50 again. Going to try to pick up some for class but Steve has me covered pretty good. More later

Re: Live from the AAA Nationals Ennis Texas
 

Qualifying is in the books. We are waiting for the final sheet to come out in Stock and super stock.

Re: Live from the AAA Nationals Ennis Texas
 

Stock about to run first rd.

SS Class

Emmons over Wright

Hidalgo over Faulk

Cowell over Crutchfield

Re: Live from the AAA Nationals Ennis Texas
 

Ed
I hope you don't have nightmares tonight. I see the little red VW is there(LOL).
Make sure your shifter bolts are tight.

Re: Live from the AAA Nationals Ennis Texas
 

thanks for the great pics. sorry bout Class Results.
Best Luck in the eliminator.
Chris

Re: Live from the AAA Nationals Ennis Texas
 

Well it has been a very tricky day as far as weather conditions are concerned. Racing was halted several times throughtout the day with light sprinkles coming but never lasting very long. First round of stock saw a 10 degree temperature drop and a significant head wind increase. Weather was circling around us when it got close to first round, but we completed first round of stock. According to the weather, I don't think there will be much racing tomorrow. There is a front moving in and it is supposed to be a little bit cooler the rest of the weekend. I will try to give a report in the morning.

Re: Live from the AAA Nationals Ennis Texas
 

And the rains have come!

Re: Live from the AAA Nationals Ennis Texas
 

Jim, I have the same year Fleetwood, an American Eagle. Done a lot of research over the past few days and believe I've found the best upgrade solution. If you're interested in the details, feel free to call at a reasonable hour, 903-736-0495.

Re: Live from the AAA Nationals Ennis Texas
 

Sorry for lack of reports. I was busy today with the change of schedule including moving up class to today. They got a lot in considering the pending rains. I have more pictures ill try to get them posted.
