"Live" from Norwalk Division 3 LODRS
 

Just pulled into Linders Lot at 12:30 and I'm #171 to be parked. The lot looks good -not too soggy. Weather is perfect with clear blue skies and mid 60s. Forcast for the weekend is getting better with no washout expected.

D-3 is producing the strongest car counts of any division. D-1 used to be comparable but it looks like D-3 is king of the car counts now.

The Summit Motorsports Park Staff has a good process going - selling the credentials in the order of arrival. They even have a PA system in the lot to instruct everyone what to do and when it will happen. Nice.

Parking has started!

The parking went very smooth - me #171 - was inside and parked by 2:45. It seemed like 2/3 of those in Linders Lot were Super cars and headed to the west or grassy pits. The east side or asphalt pits were beginning to fill in by 5:00. The sunny skies were replaced by a complete cloud cover by 4:00. KB Trailer Sales and Vintage Trailers was having a Racer Appreciation dinner tonite with dogs and burgers.

The COPO Camaros are here early - Boburka and Novosel with a couple of Division cars too. Racing starts Friday morning with S/ST out first followed by Stock.

That's it for tonight.

Hats off to the Baders for a very well organized credentials and pitting procedure. I was number 179 and the wait was not that long considering the number of racers ahead of me.The Norwalk experience is usually worth the trip.

Several big lines in Linder's Lot, but registration was a breeze here at Summit Motorsports Park, Norwalk, OH, for the NHRA Div. 3 Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series Cavalcade of Stars, always the biggest spectator attended LODRS in the country. We have a challenging forecast for the weekend, but no one works harder (as they proved here last year).

Big thanks to the folks from KB Trailers and Vintage for the great racer appreciation feed tonight, as well as Performance By Fisher Top Dragster Reveal Party.

I typed a big long thing, and my phone wiped it out before I could post it. -=sigh=- Short version, it's raining, slept in, redid all the Volare contingecy and sponsor decals last night, and might get some new M/T's if it lets up a little.

Good morning. It's raining.

The forecasts call for this rain cell to pass by 10-11:00 am. I drove in from Michigan this morning and it rained the entire trip.

Today's "Cavalcade of Stars" schedule is full with 2 runs planned for all classes and the "show" starting at 6:00. Schedule adjustments are likely - stay tuned.

I believe that's an oxymoron...at least if you are at a drag race.
