Not so LIVE from Charlotte.....

[dean ribeiro]

Tom:
keep up the outstanding reporting. I hope the number 2 bullet brings you great luck this weekend (we both know that yours and Harry's back up stuff is typically better than most folks # 1 piece!) hate to hear about thieve at the racetrack! We can only hope that a racer finds them first and them forms a MOB (like in the old days). A public flogging will curb this heinous (sop?) activity quicker than the police.

keep the photos coming.

I raced with Roy "back in the old days" and these theives are obviously young. You would not want to be caught stealing from a racer and probably the only thing worse than being caught stealing from Roy Hill would be being caught stealing from Billy "The Kid" Steepe. Hope Roy has issued the proper justice in this case.

BEWARE....If you are at the track and did not hear about it, please lock up your valuables. Several trailers were raided (in broad daylight) yesterday morning while we were in the lanes. One story we heard was wallets were stolen. Police said stolen credit cards were used a mile from the track, but nobody arrests were made yet. HOPE THEY ARE CAUGHT!

I heard about an hour ago from Rich Bernier, that Roy Hill caught at least one of these guys in his trailer or motorhome trying to rip him off. Roy quickly threw some gas on him and said "if you take off I will light you on fire" :-) . The police got him and he rolled over on his buddies.

Roy has nothing on Hawaii 5-0 , BOOK em Roy

.........Roy should have lit 'em up and asked questions later. These guys need to have an example set for them so they'll think twice before entering someone's trailer/truck/home etc... Burn, Baby.....Burn. WJ

Hell after hearing some of Roys stories he might have just set the whole thing up..

There was some theft at Atlanta last week too. At least that was what the announcer said.

That guy either had elephant nuts or p brains to brake into Roy's Stuff. It's a wonder anybody even heard about it. EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good Friday Morning to everyone.
I'm already home... so it really is "Not so LIVE".

Spare engine ran just fine.... but as my wife posted on her facebook page - "Tom had a TERRIBLE light (.037)". That combined with Rick Baehr's .016 sent me packing.

ps... Tailwind died completly and it got very hot and humid for first rd of SS. Everyone lost .02 - .05 from their earlier time trial (which was already slower than thursday's runs).

I have some more pics from friday.... i'll post them later.

This is an ongoing problem at National Events-this happened to us at Columbus in 2002. I've always suspected it was done by people working at the event (not necessarily NHRA employees).
