Untill there is a Heads UP! Then the Bracket guy cries about heads up's and we should eliminate that part of racing so we can see who the best driver is. GIVE ME A FREAKING BREAK. This stuff can effect any part of the race, that is why we have to enforce the rules evenly so everybody has the same chance.

Larry and Patsy,

I apologize if my post was taken wrong, I had a few pours of kentucky's finest and was a little frustrated with some other things, but i am tired of hearing all the west/east coast bias BS. We as a family have traveled as far east as possible to see how we "stack up" against what we consider the best of the best. Our travels have proven that on any given day different outcomes are possible.

Chuck,
Great to see your still following this and I did not know i had a west coast rulebook until I could not find certain rules that people keep finding. I do not know the book as well as others and am hoping they are all ther same. The funny thing is we tear each other apart over this and the problem truly lies in the interpretation that is handed out in each division.

Larry and Patsy-- Thank you for your coverage of not just the institution that's Indy,but all the photos and coverage of your travels/It helps keep it interesting. Too bad some of the scuttlebutt gets so negative, but that's people at large. Thanks for the photos and the frequent postings. Come out to Pomona some time and we'll meet face to face. That's all,thanks again.

Larry and Patsy, You are doing a GREAT job. When I can't be there, I check back dozens of times to see if you (or Tom S) have posted anything new, and I'm a .90 girl! Thanks again!

Patsy Hill:

As always, the Live from where ever is a welcome addition to any other reporting one may find on the NET. Drag Race Central ETC included...

I too was surprised only minutes prior to class eliminations that I was selected to be drug tested and given the neccessary paper work and the reporting location. After class I went to the trailer for testing. Five bottles of water and 2 hours later I was finished! It may have been a little of a distraction. But that's another story.

As far as the pictures go, some people would cry if they were hung with a NEW ROPE! Keep on taking pictures and reporting. I know the majority of the racers love it.

Thanks, Duzac and Peterson

In the barn for the first session this morning: Farrell, Boudreau, 3 Mustangs, Livingston, Pierce, Morgan, and Paula Cotten. On the other (bad) side of the barn were Bishop and Findell. Usually that side is reserved for pulling a piston. There is another session this afternoon, so I will let you know who goes for that one.

On the dry ice issue--It does not say dry ice specifically--but ARTIFICIAL coolants. Which is what dry ice is--it does not occur in nature, but is man-made. I just know if they were not doing anything wrong, they sure were trying not to have anybody see what they were doing. Hey, it was 80 degrees here yesterday and you have 2 men with gloves on by his car, and smoke coming up. With the official being told, they chose to turn the other way.

Maybe at least with all this conversation about this issue, they will come out and say the words specifically "dry ice" in next years rulebook. I just know that everyone east of the Mississippi are under the assumption that dry ice is illegal. (But we all know about that word ASSUME).

Mr. Defrank asked the official to not allow us to take pictures of his car, so we didn't. So I just assume he didn't want anybody to see what they were doing.

Anyway we are back to having fun!

A few pictures a little later.
