"Live" from Topeka! - Page 4

Well, since Marlene put us on the trailer, we are on our way home. She had a better light and ran closer to the dial, so just like it is supposed to be, she won! We stayed and watched round 2, then packed on up. Just stopped for lunch at a rest area. Fred Suiter is here, too. Barb didn't come with him this weekend as she is having health problems. Barb, we wish you well. Hurry up and come back racing!

Just a note about track prep this weekend. It wasn't great. Worse 60's we have had all year. Then we lost another .03 in 60 this morning. Ronnie West spun badlly in class yesterday. But I noticed they stopped and cleaned up in front of him this morning. Another note on Round 1 this morning. Chris Knudsen won the 1st round, but they had to clean up after him at about the finish line on. He didn't show for 2nd round. Don't know what he lost.

Well we are heading on back down the road. We plan on going to the 2 day Combo race at Bowling Green next weekend, then Joliet for the points race.

See ya'll there.

Getting closer to running 1st Rd in S/G, S/C and SS. Currently, my Computech RaceAir Pro is reading a HOT 92.6F, 22% Humidity, 28.67 Baro., with a DA 3869Ft.

Track Temp was over 125F about 30min ago when I went up there to watch Comp. Lots of spinning....

Well, you can see what NHRA thinks about sportsmen racers! I just got on DRC to see how Super Stock came out and I see Saturday wrapup that came from NHRA Communications. According to that everything is over for today and racing resumes at 11:00 am tomorrow. Well super stock, super comp, and super gas are still racing today! And sportsmen race at 9:00 am on Sunday morning. Talk about insulting! Evidently they don't even know we were all racing this weekend.

I agree Mrs. Patsy. For a second, I thought they canceled for the rest of sportsman for the day.

Did the track go away before the 1st round of SS? Seems like there were a few cars that didn't run anywhere near what they should have.

Larry Hill · 05-31-2009, 11:56 AM

The track was bad all weekend.

TOSTO RACING · 05-31-2009, 04:31 PM
