"Live" From The Columbus Points Race

Larry Hill · 07-19-2012, 12:00 PM

Sorry Dick, we drove by the exit, but you know how it is--gotta get to the track and get parked!

We are here! Drove thru rain off and on on the west side getting here and it looks like it has about caught up with us. They are testing now and no rain yet. We are parked when you 1st come in to the track, the little partly gravel to the right of the pavement, so come on by.

Time for lunch!

Well, tech just opened up, but it is pouring rain! Glad we hadn't unloaded yet! I don't know if it is here to stay for the afternoon, but there is a chance of severe thunderstorms today and tonight.

Well it rained for an hour or so and then got muggy. It has cooled off some now hopefully enough so we can turn off the AC and sleep with the windows open.

We had a very enjoyable evening drinking a little beer and I have discovered a great drink. Bud Lite Lime a Rita. Tastes just like a margarita, but in a can and easy to make. Just go to the ice chest and get it out and pop the top! Bill Skillman grilled some great chicken and pork chops and we had some home grown tomatoes and cucumber salad, so now we are all full and ready to retire for the evening. Stock actually does not run first here, so we get to sleep in in the morning. I think super stock leads off!

We had lots of people come over and congratulate us on winning Norwalk. It is great to have such great friends. That is what this sport is all about!

Well more tomorrow. The weather looks a little iffy in the morning, but the rest of the weekend looks great!

I wish NHRA would have shown up earlier in central Ohio. It hasn't rained for weeks. If it does, it rains 10 minutes and quits....The farmers are celebrating the return of NHRA to Columbus!
