Yes! Thank you ... we appreciate the coverage.

Rain in the forecast? We're about an hour east of Ennis and they say Friday might be a wash all day ... heavy rains called for.

Great Job, Ed! We haven't seem many pics of Dv.4 cars until now. It's great.

You guys enjoy the weekend. Except for maybe a few showers on Friday, it should clear with much lowers temps and humidity for Saturday & Sunday.

BTW, if any of you have an older model motor home with a Heart Interface Source Manager (1 or II), and it fails, and you're a do-it-yourselfer, I might be able to help. Since they're obsolete, I've been researching upgrade possibilities for the past few days and think I've found the best solution. A little over $2k in parts and probably a solid day's worth of labor.

Bill i have a 99 fleetwood that had the heart interface fail .What did you replace yours with?

First rd is in the books. I ran .50 under. Nothing to write home about. Due to the rain forecast for tomorrow stock will run first rd today and super stock wil run class today
.

We got a couple of very light sprinkles during Q2 of stock, but it didn't last long. Its going to be a pretty busy day with class in super stock and round 1 of stock scheduled for later today.

Ed Carpenter · 09-19-2013, 03:28 PM

Sorry I've been busy. I'm by myself so that makes it harder. I went 10.50 again. Going to try to pick up some for class but Steve has me covered pretty good. More later

countrypuppy4865 · 09-19-2013, 05:25 PM

Qualifying is in the books. We are waiting for the final sheet to come out in Stock and super stock.

Ed Carpenter · 09-19-2013, 07:06 PM
