Live from the Vegas Sportsnationals!

Julie Jordan · 10-11-2013, 11:41 AM

It's a postcard picture day in Vegas, clear blue skies (we can see the mountains) and no wind, just beautiful!

Stock just completed their first session. They & SS are scheduled to get 3 runs today. Right now the temps are in the high-50's expected to be in the low 70's by afternoon. Our gauges show adjusted altitude of around 2000'.

I'm not Patsy, no pictures to share, but will try to keep you updated on what is happening here. I stay pretty close to our pit so if you have specific requests, let me know!

Jared is driving my car this weekend. I'm crew chief, cook, and beer retriever! Yesterday was Jared & Reannin's 4th wedding anniversary. We went down to the strip last night and ate and drank our way down Las Vegas Boulevard. Today I'm trying to burn off all those calories! lol

Great to have you reporting! Nice of you to loan your car to Jared and congrats to them on their anniversary. Now he just needs to win the race and get another "Holton Hemi" on the track.

Look forward to your reports and hope the weather (and wind) continues to cooperate.

Hey Julie! Welcome to the reporting club! Looking forward to your reports this weekend. Are you going to be back for the National and Divisional?? If all goes well, we will be there. Hope to see you then.

I believe you are correct. It will probably be like last year. There was no DRC reporter on site. They will post results when they receive them by fax or email or whatever.

Notice the date stamp on the final qualifying in Stock from last year:

No, Patsy, we'll be done for the year after this race. Jared has used up all his vacation time. I may come to the national event tp spectate. If so, I'll stop by and say hi.

Don't forget the Vegas tower cam.

Was that Bill O'Connor's EF/S Horizon I just saw?

Is this the first time out in a few years for Robert Pond? If so, nice way to throw his hat back in the ring!
