Live from Gainesville 2013

Thanks Walt, what a crazy first round. The sun was at a point in the sky that made it tough to see. I was extremely lucky, besides my late light, I put a 10.60 on my window, instead of a 9.60. I don't know where my head was at. That was one round I did not deserve to win. Lucky for me Dempsey red lighted.

The good drivers seem to adjust fine, but there was some very late lights along with a fair amount of red lights.

There were two no shows in the mandatory first three pair, I know NHRA let the competitors know they were first out in the morning, so I do not know why they were not on time, or if they were broke.

Super Comp is just about done, Super Stock is next.

Be back later with more.....

Looks like some great racing in the Eliminator. Congrads to Ken Miele, Emily Volkman, Andy Fogle, some of the good guys that I am familar with, among others in the Sportsman pits.

Well I am sitting at the back gate posting. We had a great run This morning but boy was it cold. On the 3 designated pairs 1st round--Waibel and Kenny were broke, but Ortiz came up, but was late so his opponent got a single. Gary Richard was broken this morning also. He broke in class yesterday. Well Stock led off this morning and we are last out tonight. But I am thankful just to be there.

We are having a great time here in Florida. It has warmed up and is really nice this afternoon.

All Mopar racers are invited to a barbq this evening from 4-6. Thanks Mopar! I will try to get some pics. I am still having trouble with Photobucket, but I am going to try to upload some pics I took today and will post them later.
