Larry, I could save you some weight, (you don't need a Dana),..... give you 8-10 more hp at the rear tires, .....and make you a believer ! Ask,...Jeff Teuton, Mike Beard, Scott Macy, Steve Wann, John Shaul, Chuck Beach, Jim Nichols, John Dinkle, John Lovins, Randy Martin, Gene Mosbeck (Dana), Phil Baldacchio, Jeff Day, ...the list goes on, Call me ! ....JB.

Hi Guys. I just looked at the radar and it looks as though your in the clear at least for a while. The weather channel is only calling it a 30% chance for rain tomorrow, so the odds are in your favor. Looks like Saturday and Sunday will be pretty fast. Wish you guy's well in class and the eliminator.We won't see you until Joliet I guess.Stay well and say hello to everyone for us.Were going to miss you at Indy in April.

I think the rain is gone for the next 24 hrs(Slight chance). After that it's gonna' be beautiful. "Our" pits should drain quickly. It's been so dry here that all of the grounds should be good by tomorrow, not like 2 yrs ago!! See you guy's AM!!

Larry Hill · 03-27-2009, 09:07 AM

AA/SA should be fun to watch, Corda, Pendarvis, West and maybe more.

West changed his GTX to a Road Runner so the car would fit AA. The change was grill, badges,and "The Chicken" all nicely done.

We are on hold for wet track, more later.

They just announced we are still probably 30 minutes away from racing. Trying to dry the top end of the track. It hasn't rained since last night, but the moisture is still in the air bad. The sun is trying to peek thru a bit but not enough to help yet. I just drove back thru the pits and everyone has their cars out. The last ones to come in after it rained are just parked on the roads. There have been a lot of changes in Class. Now in AA/SA are Corda, Fletcher, both Mick----,. Still in A/SA, us, Latino, Brannon.

I'm afraid it is looking more like a 1 shot deal for class. But maybe not--we will just have to wait and see.

I have already been out mud bogging this morning. Got stuck with my golf cart next to Teuton's motorhome. Larry, Jeff, and Jerry Newsome had to push me out. So now I have to park the golf cart in the trailer when I am not riding it.

More later.

Finally made our 1st run. We were off by .13 from Belle Rose, but most everybody else was, too. Sam Pouciau is #1 at 1.06 under. It is really slow. 69 cars. Lots of red lights in qualifying. A couple of Emmons had trouble as well as Unkefer. They should be putting up times shortly. They still have us on the schedule to run class today--1st round after pros, then finish up after the 2nd session of pros. Bad news is though, that it is looking like a little rain later on this afternoon.

More later.

Well we are on hold again for a few sprinkles. In the 1st run, something happened to Williams and Bratsen on the starting line. Newsome's was a scale issue.

More later.
