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.

Sorry I have not been around for a while, its been a hectic day. Second round for stock was the last class down the track. I see Larry won, so the reporting should continue as long as Patsy gets and good internet connection. I did some photo editing for Patsy and she should have some photos up soon.

Second round for stock and super stock was late. It may have been the reason for the many red lights, but there was also some great close racing. The bite was super for me all weekend and for the most part I think it was good for everyone. Lots of cool wheelstands in super stock and stock.

I should get some nice shot from John DiBartolomeo from Drag Racing Action. I will be sure to post them when I get home

I lost in the second round and will be heading out tomorrow. its been lots of fun. I will be at Charlotte, NC for my next live report, see you all then.

John DiBartolomeo from DRAG RACING ACTION Magazine
www.dragracingaction.com just sent me some great action shots, so I thought I would post them before I hit the road.

It is cold again this morning! 45 going up to 79 later today. We have Cooter first thing this morning. He won the perfectly strange award last night. I just hope that "old age and treachery will defeat youth and skill " this morning. That was a text from Chris last night!

On the back of at least one of Jimmy Bridges' cars, the Camaro, it read "Old age and treachery will overcome youth and exuberance".

Cooter got us! Both had .007 lights but Cooter was just .006 over and we were .02 over. Just a great race!

Hey you 2 reporters. Regrets on your 2nd rd. loss and Larry's this morning. I was hoping at some point it would come down to you 2. Wish you both a safe journey home and success for the remainder of the season. Thanks a bunch for taking the time to post. It's greatly appreciated, considering the amount of stuff that has to be done at a race. Ken, hopefully I'll catch up with you at the divisional at Lebanon Valley.
God bless all.
