“Live” from Earlville, Iowa
After getting beat first round yesterday in Indy, we drove the almost 400 miles here to Earlville. It is a double combo here this weekend. Details are in the post from Midwest Class Racers. We rolled in just after dark to a distinct smell of pig poop!! I guess you kinda get used to it since I can’t smell it now! Anyway, we just drove in and parked then went out and paid this morning! We have already made one of our 2 time trials for today and it was wasted! After 1.33 60’ yesterday at Indy, we went to a 2.11 today. So Larry is backing everything down to get our next run. Hope it is good since the next run we will be racing!
Anyway, more later!! |

Re: “Live” from Earlville, Iowa
Well we are packing up to go home!! We backed every thing down and got an ok 2nd run. There were no more Adjustments left for a slick track. Then first round we were back to a 2.12 60’. This used to be a place we would tell people to put on their bucket list. Now just put your money in your bucket!! You can tell the track is for sale when they won’t spend any money on it. So this is the last of our money they will get. We had planned on running again tomorrow then staying all week and running the divisional next week. But that is not happening! Earlville is not getting any more of our money!!

Re: “Live” from Earlville, Iowa
That's probably the shortest "Live" from thread ever, that's a shame, safe travels home. 60' like that will break stuff.

Re: “Live” from Earlville, Iowa
That is sad to hear. EarIville was the place to be in years past.

Well I’m just the opposite! I have my SS-FM here and it’s 60s are as good as the Indy points meet , i think they try hard for a small Midwest track , I’m sorry Larry you guys had a bad time

Re: “Live” from Earlville, Iowa
I know I will get flamed here but when you show up for a race everybody there has the same track conditions to deal with good or bad. It's your race car so it's your responsibility to get the car down the track.

Larry, I'm sure you loosened the rear shocks?

Re: “Live” from Earlville, Iowa
I thought the track was pretty good.
1.47 60 FT for me is among the better ones.Maybe it is the tires? I have great luck with Hoosier,but those Goodyear tires "lean to the left" |
