Re: Live from the Fall Classic
Thanks, Jack - I will do my best!
Ok, got here, rushed up to make a run with Alex's car. Ran the air, 28.73 barometer. Yuck. Car hooked pretty darn well, and we were very pleased with the run. Rushed up to make a second pass, it's now 1/2 hour until the end of tnt, two cars in front of us and the skies opened up. They announced that was the end of test and tune. So we only got the one run, but we learned what we wanted to know. The sun is out now, but there are more rain clouds on the horizon, and it is still very windy. There must be a windchill to be measured here. Steady 15-20 mph and gusting up from there. Pits are not very full, hoping more people will come tomorrow. I will try to take some pictures tomorrow as well. I am running stock so I don't know how many stockers I will get, but I will do my level best. |

Re: Live from the Fall Classic
You will be missed, Greg!
Lots more rigs pulled in this morning. Yay! It's crisp, clear, and obviously from the flag in the picture, still windy. Going up to tech now.....

Got started late the tracks Pig broke, backup put into place.... Track had lots of rubber on it coming off onto peoples slicks.(scraping would have helped) Up to 15 MPH crosswind at top end(fun in a 4runner at 89MPH and less fun in a dakota @ 115) It rained 3 times by my count, but not D-1 RAINGOD Matyas style end of days downpours that have the RV owners wishing they had opted for the pontoon option, and kids wishing they had brought their skimboards to the track. At 10 pm they were still working on the track. Air feels a bit better to my jogging self, cold enough for gloves with wind chill. And there are MORE leaves down here than at home in Ma! Off to the track I go.
