After a beautiful, starry night here at the track, the sun is shining and it looks to be a great day for racing. It is 64 degrees this morning, going up to a high of 75 this afternoon. Larry left for the auction about 6 this morning and I was really going to sleep in. But at the racetrack that doesn't always work out! Tech opened at 8 and they started parking rigs that had arrived overnight, so needless to say, I was up and about earlier than I had hoped! It looks like all the rigs that were in line have been parked and racing is to start at 10 with everyone getting a time trial, then on to the completion of eliminations the rest of the day. I will try to get some pics a little later.

I have already seen a few people that are not entered online here, so don't forget you can still enter at the gate for the Jegs Sportsnationals.

More later.

Well, I have managed to pull another "stupid old woman" trick again! This morning after mopping the floor in the motorhome, I was headed up to staging to get some pictures of stockers when I discover that when I had taken pictures at my granddaughter's birthday party last weekend and downloaded them to my computer at home, I had left the memory card in that computer. So here I am with plenty of time to take pictures but no card. I called Larry and hopefully he will be able to find another one while he is out today. I had tried earlier to find another one for my Kodak camera and it takes a smaller card than what I was able to find. But maybe Larry will have better luck.

So I guess I will have to describe what's going on here! They just ran the first time trial for stock and not surprisingly most had picked up a tenth or two since they ran here in July at 100 degrees. Joe Martens had some problems off the line as did Jim Boburka. Hopefully it is something that can be fixed quickly.

Well, more later.

Patsy,
Just wanted to say thanks for all that you do to keep the ones who can't be there updated. It means alot.

Larry Hill · 09-22-2011, 03:22 PM

I have tried taking a few shots with my IPhone. We will see how they came out.

Jimmy Ronzello D/SA in teardown. He was supposed to teardown at Indy, but had to go home for a funeral.

Charley Bob in teardown.

tech guys in teardown

Tom Rambo, Jimmy Gower, Dave Edwards and Mrs. Edwards

Tom and Jimmy again. Tom is ready to run Ed Wallace heads up next round.

Its starting to look like it might be a LONG weekend.

TOM KASCH · 09-22-2011, 04:31 PM

Patsy,
i can take pictures without a card with my Kodak

Larry Hill · 09-22-2011, 04:49 PM

They have finally started running. In stock-Mitch Truman and Brian Livengood were no shows.

I don't know if there were weepers or what. they took a long time getting ready to run. Super stock complained about the track prep and they gave them another run before eliminations started.

Thanks Patsy,

You are the best!
