Live from Bowling Green
 

Well, I doubt if ace reporter Mike D. will be here this weekend so hopefully Patsy will be in attendance. The gates opened today around noon time and it's been a slow, laid back day. I would like to give a big, huge D 3 welcome to Don Kennedy, who just recently moved to Tennessee. Don removed his D7 perm number and is now sporting a D 3 number....

Do they take credit cards or cash only?

Re: Live from Bowling Green
 

Matt, they take credit cards!

We will be there in the morning! All loaded up and ready!

Re: Live from Bowling Green
 

Thanks. Someone in our group may have left their racing funds at home in the desk, lol.

Re: Live from Bowling Green
 

What's your address?




Mike, Be on the lookout for any more D7 characters strolling around.

Re: Live from Bowling Green
 

MJ - I'll be wearing my Blue Oval hat this weekend and working the Cobra Jet Showdown at the NMCA race at Norwalk. So please continue to take the lead reporting from BG.

I will be filing "Live" reports from Norwalk on the Stock/SS Combo and the Holley Supercar Showdown. Good luck! And I'll see you guys at Indy.

Re: Live from Bowling Green
 

MJ got this started so I expect him to keep posting all weekend!! We are here here and parked and it is a beautiful day! Sunny skies and in the 70s! Test and tune should be starting in about 10 minutes and I expect the lanes to be full. Parking is a little different this year in that the only ones parked on pavement are alcohol,comp,top dragster and top sportsmen! So if you are looking for your favorite racer where he usually parks, he probably isn't there!

The grass really needs to have been mowed, but the ground is pretty firm. There are lots of ruts in our pit area, so I predict that either Larry or I one will fall in one of the holes before the weekend is over!

Hot track at Bowling Green. Don Kennedy 922. Got to get to work you guys are on your own. Posted from stupid phone

Re: Live from Bowling Green
 

I will defer to you Miss Patsy, your track reporting skills are second to none and the beautiful pictures you take throughout the weekend are nothing short of spectacular. T and T is now open and one of the first cars down the track was a beautiful black Dart driven by Larry Gilley . NICE.....As Miss Patsy so eloquently touched on, the parking situation here is different from say....the last 25 years or so....

Re: Live from Bowling Green
 

Chamber of commerce weather today here in beautiful Bowling Green , Ky. About every seven years or so we are treated to 82 degrees, 34 per cent humidity and 29.51 barometer for a DA of 2300 feet......wonderful weather for the month of august.....

Re: Live from Bowling Green
 

Will There Be A Live feed for this event? fascat

Re: Live from Bowling Green
 

A lot of racers were working on their stuff. Jerry and Mike Bennett changed converters, the Welker camp worked way passed sundown, Mr Bill Rink doing normal maintenance, a D7 car was on four jack stands at sundown.

The racer appreciation meal was very good! Menu: pulled pork sandwich that was really loaded up, BBQ beans, mustard potato salad, two different types of sauce, pickles, and shredded coleslaw. After a hard day of test and tune, a meal this good is a welcome sight for the hungry masses. Thanks Lucas Oil and Quick Fuel.

Track prep for T&T was good, the starting line crew really tried to stay on top of it. Tech and T&T had a little confusion but not enough to mention.

A lot of good runs by a lot of class on the way to Indy. A second under the Index at BG is always a little on the sporty side.

All in all just a real good day of racing.

Re: Live from Bowling Green
 

Things start off this morning with super street at 9, followed by stock and the rest of the regular order. We are scheduled for 2 runs today with a clean=up this afternoon.

Right now at 8:15 it is 68 degrees and an adjusted altitude of 1500'. Best weather for Bowling Green in years. Only supposed to be low 80s by the afternoon! Blue skies and a wonderful day in sight!!

Cooter, you have been looking at the wrong sight! MJ had already started "Live from". I am just adding to it!

Re: Live from Bowling Green
 

In case you didn't see it live, Bruno Massell hit the wall a couple of times. He left good, then it looked like something broke on the car! He is out and ok! Track clean-up going on now.

Re: Live from Bowling Green
 

89 stockers for the first run! Massell probably won't be on the sheet or Hairrington. They pulled Hairrington off the starting line. Maybe leaking something? Glad Bruno is ok. That was a strange looking run. He left good, then hit the wall before the eighth mile. Then turned and thank goodness did not hit car in the other lane, then hit wall again. I look for that one to be a withdrawal from Indy!!

Re: Live from Bowling Green
 

You scared me Ms Patsy I thought you had retired!!! See you in Charlotte and bring your A game because I got my whole clan coming again lol!

Re: Live from Bowling Green
 

Jacobs 1.42 under that's gonna hurt Tuesday

Re: Live from Bowling Green
 

No Ed, it hurts now.

Re: Live from Bowling Green
 

Well it is another gorgeous day here at Beech Bend! 60 degrees now should be 65 or so when we run in about an hour. Super street is out first at 8, then stock. We get 1 run this morning then first round this afternoon . They are showing first round today for super street, stock, super gas,super stock and super comp. More later.

Re: Live from Bowling Green
 

93 cars in stock this morning. A couple of new ones, I think. I will try to get final qualifying and ladder and post in a bit.

Re: Live from Bowling Green
 

Sorry about no pictures. Having trouble with new laptop and internet. Be sure and look at post about parking at Indy!

Re: Live from Bowling Green
 

Did it make it to mineshaft conditions?????

DRC isn't posting and Live Timing doesn't make any sense....

It looked close..

Thanx

Stock ladder from Ms Patsy's Facebook.

Re: Live from Bowling Green
 

"Down at the other end of the race track"

Re: Live from Bowling Green
 

Stock was NOT mineshaft. We got beat first round. Super stock is just now running. Lots of delays today.

Re: Live from Bowling Green
 

Based on what I saw the right lane was trash.

Re: Live from Bowling Green
 

It was close Bob, but we missed mineshaft by 2 positions....If more racers would RACE their cars.....it would have been Mine shaft.....

Re: Live from Bowling Green
 

9 05 pm and that's a wrap for today....There were traction issues in both lanes which was very surprising due to the comfortable august temps....The 3rd qualifying session for superstock turned into a marathon , as I thought it was never going to end due to lingering downtime..In the first round of superstock as darkness was rolling in the majority of pairs missed their dials anywhere from 3 to 6 hundredths....The Ratso Camaro driven by Ken Vaughn broke a 40 spline MW axle, took a harrowing ride and barely missed hitting the tree...WHEW !!!

Re: Live from Bowling Green
 

Thanks, Larry & MJ for the mineshaft heads-up.
