Live from Beech Bend Sportsnational Open
 
It is a gorgeous day here in Bowling Green! Test and tune is going on today. We are just about to go down the track. Looks like the whole weekend is going to be just perfect racing weather! Come on down, up or however and join us! The amusement park and water park is open, too~

I "think" gates are open 24 hours per their facebook post earlier this week.

Be there late tonight. We're not running Stock or Super Stock, those cars are not ready, we got a late start this year. Will be crewing on a friend's dragster.

It is a beautiful day today! Just made our 1st run of the day. 59 stockers here. Record runs being made today, too. Gary Summers won Class in Topeka yesterday and is here going for the U/SA record. Just went a 13.01 off a 14.85. The grandkids are here and are going to the amusement park shortly. Lots of things going on. Combo race tonight!

What a beautiful day indeed! It's also a big change from the cold and rainy conditions at Norwalk last week. It is shockingly fast out here -- guess that's what an actual barometer can do for you! The car was every bit as fast as Norwalk's average runs, and topped the mph mark by a smidge, despite a DA 1000' higher. 76.3F, 51%, 29.63, 1914' DA. It's generally calm, but every once in a while we get a rogue burst of a tailwind. Feels good back here in the shade of the treeline!

The time zone change along with a 10am start was nice. Got to sleep in and even had time to do a little cleaning on the car for once.
