Live from Bowling Green, Lucas Oil Div. 3 race - Page 4

A few more cars made the 2nd run, not many picked up, even hotter than this morning. Larry is changing transmissions, so we will run the clean-up. Wildest ride of the weekend goes to Bill Skillman on that 2nd run. I really thought the car was going over. He had to get out of it and it hit pretty hard. They had it up on the lift checking it out whenever I went over to ask him if he had to change pants after that run!

Patsy you put the two Larry's side by side it's easy to confuse the two. (hill&hodge mix-up)

Never mind, I mis read the post. I see it was a big wheelstand not a wreck.

They already have Bill's car fixed, ready to run in the morning. We picked up a little. Brian Livengood lost an engine, so he will be withdrawing from Indy. It was good to see Bruce Noland again. He picked up a little, too. I got a picture of his car I will post later. I need to get more pics tomorrow.

More later

Yes Mr Christy, I still have the camaro and our daughter Kelly races it at the ASRA races in G/S. Kelly is on this trip with me.

Great to see you still have the car. That 305 Camaro was a great runner. Made me work harder on my 88 Monte SS ran mid 13 without breaking into the motor. Thank for the inspirations!

Patsy,

Another beautiful day here at Beech Bend. They have called up Super Street and we are next. Chris, Keisha and the grandkids are here today so we are going to have fun!

More later!

Just made our first run. Most ran about the same. At least 1 new car went down. Still 108 this morning.

Larry Hill · 08-27-2011, 05:38 PM

Well we made it thru 1st round. Lots of people spun including us, a little. Bill Skillman won 1st round after taking another wild ride this morning in qualifying. In round 1, he almost hit the wall when leaving, then put a rod thru the block at halftrack. His opponent had red-lighted so he won. I don't know if they have another bullet with them or not. I'll walk over later and see. Another little tidbit with new car blues, a part of Bruce Noland's telescoping steering wheel came up and hit him in the nose going down the track.

Brett McFarland broke a rocker in round 1. There were a few no shows: Osborn, Weizanpfel, McClister, Livengood.

We had about an hour clean-up after Bill's blow-up, so things are a little behind.
