"Live" from Bowling Green Sportsnational open 2015
 

What a beautiful day here at Beech Bend Raceway in Bowling Green, KY! Today is test and tune! And at $50 per car there are lots of takers! We have made one run and it is pretty quick. Lots of rigs pulling in today. We don't make an official run til 10 tomorrow. Looks like it is going to be a great weekend weatherwise til maybe late Sunday.


More later!

Re: "Live" from Bowling Green Sportsnational open 2015
 

It has been a great day for testing here. The starting line has hooked every time. Temp in 70s with a little breeze. I took some pictures that I will post in a while. Beer and wine time now! People from all over today. Minneswota, Texas, Indiana, KY, TN, Ohio and more!!

Weather: 55* 90% and are you ready for this 29.86, its going to be fast.


Come on out!

Re: "Live" from Bowling Green Sportsnational open 2015
 

Good morning! Under partly cloudy skies it looks like it is going to be a good day! First of all, "Happy Birthday" to my husband of 45 years! He caught up with me today! He used to give me a hard way to go for being 20 days older than him, but at 65 it doesn't really matter any more! We are just glad to still be here!


Tech is open in the staging lanes and racing begins at 10. Super street, super gas, then stock!

Re: "Live" from Bowling Green Sportsnational open 2015
 

Happy Birthday, Larry!

Re: "Live" from Bowling Green Sportsnational open 2015
 

59 stockers made the first run! Lots of wrong indexes up so it may take a while to get the sheet sorted out. I will get a pic when it gets posted.

Re: "Live" from Bowling Green Sportsnational open 2015
 

Happy Birthday Mr Larry! Ms Patsy 65 ain't bad my Grandfather turns 100 tomorrow!

Re: "Live" from Bowling Green Sportsnational open 2015
