"Live" from Belle Rose, LA - Page 2

Teuton had problems with DragPak 2nd Q run and was pushed back from the burnout box. Don't know what the issue was yet.

Sammy with the blue L/SA car was changing a head gasket this morning too. Not fun working out in this.

Got by 1st rnd of No-Box despite turning the tire again. Time for drastic measures I guess.

Michael great reporting almost as good as Jack.Can you see how fast Barry Parkers old camaro is going. That car was a monster when it was in D-1. Keep up the good work and good luck.

Sorry, been 1st pair out and haven't gotten to see anything. (Not much for lollygagging).

. Teuton sed he was off his rocker, or had a rocker come off earlier. Repaired, then we ended up running 1st rnd, and he had problems again.

Had a 10.70 on the window FWIW. Pairings were just however we pulled in the lanes, with a random potential bye drawn. If odd, last Stocker would run a SS car.

Hooked that time, and again 2nd round of No-Box, where I got by on a .005 double breakout. Sun's going down now, down to 90deg (woohoo!), so the track should be good from here out. And things are probably going to start going really fast.

Didn't make the 75 car threshold, so 1 Rnd of buybacks @ $30. Fair enough.

Had a great race with the pup (Hidalgo Jr)... 1 number different on the tree, double breakout .009. Still in No-Box as well after 3 Rnds.

Finally got to see some Super Stockers... Lots of really nice stuff here. Latino, Hebert, Emmons, the Volare and Avenger/Sebring? out of the Caro camp, Larry Stewart, Teuton's Duster and I think two from the Kent camp.

Looks like Warren Birkett busted an axle or something... Had it pushed off to the side w/ the left rear off.

Teuton said he just spun against me... Duster's been perfect all day, but having bad trouble hooking the Challenger. Hebert ran out by .001 2nd Rnd... Emmons is in..

Country Dog carrying the wait n' see bye to the 3rd rnd.

Nice going Michael, and thanks!

Nice job of driving Mike. I just got cleared by the brain doctor yesterday afternoon. All tests reports done... Definitely not a stroke... just a severe concussion causing the memory loss and numbness.

Good luck to ya'll.
