Live From Earville IA Div5 LODRS
 

Finally made it to Earville from Indy. Still banging my head after my crappy lite in the semis. O well. That's racing. Easy 390 mile tow. Was told by a couple of fuel stations that not to take any side roads going from Indy to Earville as the Iowa DOT has lots of restrictions on the secondary roads. Was told to go to I74 from Indy and go to state highway 61 north to state highway 20 west to track and you'll have no issues. Racers are steadily pulling in the gate.

Don't beat yourself up too bad. It was still a great Div.6 showing by you and Troy. I know Troy only went 4 rounds, but that high flying wagon must have gotten their attention. You Nova does a great job of hanging the wheels also. Good luck this weekend and represent the northwest well. Looks like the facilities are awesome there at Earlville. Officially Tri State Raceway.

Not beating myself up. Just feeling sorry for myself! LOL.

You will have a great time there, its one of the best tracks in the country!

Re: Live From Earville IA Div5 LODRS
 

Looks like a really nice place to race. And how many race tracks have an RV park in it as well. The people we've met here are great. Maintenance day for me today.

Re: Live From Earville IA Div5 LODRS
 

Great race track, Great people! It is going to be cool and dry and if there is a tailwind, man is it going to be fast.

Mom, dad and crew are leaving early AM for the 13 hour jaunt northeast. Been looking forward to this weekend since this time last year. I'll be glued to DRC all weekend. GOOD LUCK EVERYONE.

Thanks, once again to Phil Unruh for making updates through DRC possible!!

Re: Live From Earville IA Div5 LODRS
 

We should be pulling in around 6:30 tonight...I hope there's still room by then! I'll try to contribute to this thread if Verizon cooperates. Last week the 4G was more like .01G at Tri-State so internet was out of the question.
We are on a quest for a 10-second time slip this weekend. Last week (at Earlville) the car went 11.01 in 3400' DA with a 15 mph tailwind, quickest it has been so far...-.639 in E/S.

Re: Live From Earville IA Div5 LODRS
 

Not a lot of 10 second vinyl tops out there. Good luck I hope you get it.

Good luck this weekend....Paul, I gotta ask this question...don't think it was
answered earlier...

Did you re-hone the block again before installing the rings that are in there now?

Re: Live From Earville IA Div5 LODRS
 

Just checked this morning and the pits are maybe 1/4 full so there's lots of pit spots.

Re: Live From Earville IA Div5 LODRS
 

I wish we were going. Went 2 years ago and loved that place! Hopefully I can swing a visit again next year.

Re: Live From Earville IA Div5 LODRS
 

Nope...slapped 'em in there and called it good!

Re: Live From Earville IA Div5 LODRS
 

Good luck To all. As Mike stated thanks Phil for making DRC available.

Kiss those temps and DA's goodbye! It was 96 here at home today and suppose to be 67 tomorrow. A little tail wind and there might be a few circles R's on windshields this weekend.

Ed, I don't think this cold front is gonna quite make it down to your neck of the woods!

To save Mike Voth the trouble of cutting and pasting the qualifying from DRC, here's a link for round 2 Stock qualifying that preserves the ad at the bottom - that ad pays for someone to be there to get the results on line in a timely manner:
