LIVE from Pittsburgh Pro-Am/SportsNat'ls

Michael Beard · 08-07-2010, 01:11 PM

44 cars in Stock. Got by first rnd over Ken Friedman, .028 and taking .009... Darroch over Gene Jordan, Klacik over Knott, Dave Turner with a red light win, Kieffer's red, Laverne Eberst over Frank Vincent's Mustang... 'Bout all I got to see...

Took loads of finish line photos of Super Stock, which I'll process and post when I get home.

Gettin' warm out, and the lil' car has its tongue hanging out, but made it past 2nd Rnd! Got a couple grins, thumbs up, and laughs on the return road. Everybody loves an underdog (Right Harry?).

. Down to 11 cars in Stock.

Chris Kilraine broke a pushrod, but they've got it replaced already and is riding around the pits.

Lost a double breakout to Clint Blezian 3rd Rnd... But the fun's not over! Gambler's race tonight.

Blezien (A/FIA Trans Am) over Capellupo in the Stock semis, Boburka's gorgeous yellow A/SA Camaro on the bye.

Congratulations to Tim Worner for his SS win over Anthony Bertozzi. Heard AB rip it 2-3 times, and got behind at the stripe.

Congrats to Clint Blezian on a hard-fought win... Out .0002 to Boburka's .0008 under!

Nice turnout for all the classes this weekend. It was a lot better attended than the spring race was. Pittsburgh is a great facility (less the rocks) and the Tedescos food is always awesome!! But alas,I got busted first round so I left Beard at the track and Barbara and I are setting out on the veranda eating delmonicos and drinking dirty martinis......LIFE IS GOOD!!!!

Hold down the fort Terry... I got by McGrath first round, so we'll be here a little longer, trying to get some seat time.

60' has gone away, but picked up mph... ET's about a wash.

Hurry Hurry Hurry... Had someone else interested in the Turismo...

Got lucky against Mike Bolton 2nd Rnd Gamblers... He let me go .013.
