"Live" from Marion, SD Thunder Valley
 

Made the 6 hr drive here yesterday and stayed at the Broadway Motel. After a little hospitality at Bud's, we called it a Night. Came to the track this morning and found the perfect spot to pit! The ladies at the gate were super friendly and welcoming. Beautiful day!

First person we spoke with (pitted by) was fellow Minnesotan (Isanti) was Greg Rauscheir aka TBox with his 64 T-Bolt Fairlane testing a new clutch. A big thanks to Dan Wiese for taking us down the track with his golf cart since we never have raced here before! A few of the racers I've seen/talked to so far: Brian Schultz, the Koppiens, Duane Dixon, the Picht family. Will get more info tomorrow . Pictures will have to wait til I get home since I'm still computer illiterate and slow! First time trial tomorrow at 9!

Beautiful day today. Almost didn't make the program today. I noticed Doug 's back tire was real close to his quarter panel and brought it to his attention. Apparently a bolt fell out of the pan hard bar. Guess those bumpy roads weren't easy on parts. Thanks to the Koppiens (especially Josh Dragstra who crawled underneath) and all the racers who helped us get the car to the first time trial! Good crowd-53 went down. Waiting for first round to start.
