LIVE from Numidia Combo in the Hills $10K!

Michael Beard · 05-06-2011, 10:00 PM

Started to sprinkle when I took the bye. Saw one big flash of lightning when I was coming back around to the pits. Rain's picking up a little... We're at 5 cars.

Rained out for the night. See you in the morning!

It was a small system, but it came down in sheets briefly (that would be while I was unhooking the trailer!) LOL and we saw some pretty spectacular lightning.

The Turismo made 4 runs in a row to 1000' 13.01, then a 13.00 on the bye. Trying to remember WHY I've had this thing for sale?!

Got to meet Don Kennedy, and saw a lot of friends from way back. Pits are pretty full on the right side of the track, although I think we only had 37 in the Gamblers race. Many were happy to test n' tune then pack it up for the night. Trailers were still coming in when we were leaving.

Q1 60.2 F, 56%, 28.82, 1622' DA
Q2 66.3 F, 48%, 28.80, 2062' DA

First run, shortshift high gear, goes 13.021 to 1000', then back to the trusty 13.01 on the second pass. -.001 red taking an extra bump, and .030 in 'race mode'.

Had a little downtime toward the end of Q1, but we're squared away and rollin' again. In eliminations, Stk and SS will run separate the 1st 3 rnds.

Sun peaks in and out, breeze is up and down. Not sure if it's cold or warm!

How many cars, Michael?

I was hoping they'd have their 1320Go Live Timing working, but it's been turned off all weekend.

*edit* According to 1320 from Facebook, the connection was not ready in time.

An unscheduled monsoon interrupted halfway through first round of Stock. I got complacent and discounted the headwind, slowing .06 vs Wes McCracken before the rain hit. Hope it clears up, but looks like we'll be down a good long while. Good luck to everyone!

Raining in the D1 area? That's unusual.

Thanks for the reports, Michael. Have a safe trip home.
