"Live" from Jegs Northern Sportsnationals 2012 - Page 2

We are finally here and parked. It sprinkled rain just a little just before we got here, but it is fine here now. We got parked just before it got dark. Looks like it is filling up pretty well now. I will be better able to see tomorrow. I don't think we start racing until 10. I took a few pics on the way up that I will post later.

Front view of 777d would be a nice one. It has 55 gallon drum for sense of scale and condition we buy machines.

Well right now it is a beautiful day here in Columbus. It is 62 and sunny. We are teched and ready to run!

Just saw Roger Weaver and Mrs. Roger and congratulated him on his Super Gas win at Indy! That was his first win ever! and what a great one to win! It is nice to see real sportsmen racers win!

We are supposed to get 2 runs today, 1 in the morning, then class. The weather forecast is not looking real good for tonight and some of tomorrow, but Sunday looks great! So there shouldn't be any trouble getting the race in this weekend. I will try to get some pics today. Here is a look at a couple of the machines Larry looked at yesterday, so you can see what we do.

Here are some shots from yesterday driving up thru the hills (mountains?) of West Virginia.

Lots and lots of curves!

West Virginia's version of the InterCoastal Waterway!

Larry,

Did they move class to today? Originally it was scheduled for Saturday. Please let me know.

Thanks, Mike W.

Larry Hill · 09-21-2012, 11:19 AM

Mike, the original schedule shows class tomorrow. I haven't seen a posted schedule here, but I will go down and check for you.

80 stockers made the first run. I don't know if DRC is here or not. There were lots of wrong classes put up, so it may take them a while to sort it out.

Larry Hill · 09-21-2012, 11:47 AM

Mike, I just checked the schedule for today and no class today. Just 2 runs for everyone. It is not even showing any clean-ups today.

MoJo Risen · 09-21-2012, 12:06 PM

Videos of Stock's 1st qualifying pass are being uploaded to CoachpunkTV on Youtube as I type this...

More later...
Thanks Ken..

It was nice to see lots of fans in the stands for the first run this morning. Lots of yellow Jegs caps! It looks like Jegs gave tickets to some local schools as there were lots of future drag racers watching to see how it is done! Oh, and on that note, Larry said this morning "You know you have an old car when someone comes by and wants to know what it is!" We had already been racing our car for 10 years or so whenever most of these kids were born!

Here is a link to Larry's run today..

I will upload the rest from a wifi spot later today..

PS. I heard a rumor about some guy named Charlie.. never heard of him though...
