"Live From" The Belle Rose National Open

We did not get into the 7's tonight. David got the car to run a 8.10, but its still spinning pretty good when it hits second gear. Steve Bell went a 8.13 so tomorrow should be interesting. They are still running Top Stock, I will get you more info when it becomes available.

Here are some random shots of the day. I few night shots, but the track is very dark, so its hard to get good photos at night. As soon as the finish up with Top Stock I will give you the winner and runner up. It looks like a good turnout, I counted at least 50 cars in Stock, I'm sure there are more, and more will be here tomorrow.

I have video to edit, but it may no be good, its hard to get good videos with a dark track. I will be back later and post it anyway.

I almost forgot, Nick Reiter is here, he is going for the D record. He went a 10.44 tonight, and might have a good chance to run some low 30's tomorrow. Nick is my hero, living the dream, racing all over the country. He did not even know this race was being run. He was heading back from the west coast and said what the heck, lets just stop here see if we can get a record before we head home.

Britt Cummings took out Slate Cummings with a hole shot win in Top Stock, 9.83 to a 9.81.

Yo Ken. Thanks for all the reports, wish I was there. Is that green Camaro Barry's old ride?

[Ken Miele]

Yes I think that's Barry's old car.

Good morning all, the weather is right this morning and should stay about the same for the rest of the day. The weather numbers in the photo says it all. If David can get down the track, 7's should be no problem.

We are supposed to start at 9am, I will be back later with more info. How about the Mendez Bothers Shelby going a 9.10 in SS/FA, they Should be able to get in the 8's today..... with a Super F car, man that's fast.

[Dave Turner]

That E/SA number is humbling......'nuff said.

Stephen, tell me if I am wrong; but that 9.10 may be the quickest run ever by a SS/F or SS/FA. Several years ago, Jeff Colvert had the SS/F record at 9.12; but I don't know of anyone running quicker than 9.10. Say hi to your Dad for me.
