"Live" from Earlville, IA, Division 5 Lucas Oil race

sstSteveM · 09-09-2011, 05:44 PM

This is a track that is built by racers, for racers. This is their big race of the year, and they value their customers. Always a racer dinner and I remember all the free Blue Bunny you could eat. Only downside are the gravel pit roads, but it's easy to look past that. Was in the seating area while they used the track dryer and could have toasted marshmallows. I am glad I have had the opportunity to race there. For anyone looking for a bucket list race this one is a no brainer. The years I've raced there I don't think I've heard a single complaint about the track. Always fun to match up with some division 5 cars too. Looks like it will be a beautiful weekend!

Sounds like a good race to go to. I wish I was there this weekend.

Hang in there Andrew, we'll be racing in two weeks.

Well we just got back from the Racers Appreciation Dinner and thanks to the Kuhlman's for a very nice dinner. It is greatly appreciated! I have a few pics that I will post in a bit. The track hooked good and as usual the people are very friendly. And, oh BTW, after our last run I went to the trailer to talk to Larry about his run, and I said "You have something on your lip" and it was homemade chocolate chip cookies and he still didn't bring me back one! Oh well, I guess I will have to go to the scales myself if I want one!!

Well it is another great day here in Earlville. We are 4th in the line-up to run this morning, then again for 1st round this afternoon. I haven't run the air yet this morning, but it looked like a LOW over us on the local weather this morning. But super stock has been picking up a little. I have been having problems getting my pics up that I took, but I will post them eventually.

More later.

Patsy, you should intercept them at the scales next time! Lol! Good luck and thanks for the reports as always! See ya'll at Columbus!

94 stockers!
Wow, what a great event!

Larry Hill · 09-10-2011, 02:31 PM

Well super stock is running their 1st round now, then super comp, then stock. It is another beautiful day here. Mid 70's, blue sky and a little wind. The air on our run this morning was 2200'.

We are cooking chili after 1st round, so if you are here, come on by.

More later.

Oh, I finally got a cookie! We went down to look at the ladder and I helped myself to one. Thanks to Bob's girlfriend for making them. They were very good!
