Re: Live from Bristol

SS just got their first pass.
2nd pair down the track.... Mary Meintz hit the wall with her ss/ha 70 camaro. I just saw her in her pits and she gave me the thumbs up.... looks like she is ok......

Air when the stockers ran was 72 degrees, 70 percent humidty - 28.74 corrected baro when SS ran....got hotter, and still super muggy......85 degrees, 51 percent hum...still 28.74 Semi-cloudy... no rain around yet

Tom
I love the pictures from when your standing way up top & looking down at the track. Great View.... Plus all of your updates on Stock & Super Stock are great. Pistol Pete 1374 J/SA |

Re: Live from Bristol
Pros started at 12 noon sharp....
I quit counting but I think every other pair oiled the track. Stock and super gas in the back of the lanes and waiting to get paired. One heads-up run of stature this round..... Boudreau vs Bertozzi
