Just a few more pictures from eliminations this morning....And, as you can see, defeat comes hard to Joe

Hi folks and Happy Halloween from Las Vegas...Third round was exciting for Super Stock this morning...A few pictures here of some of the winners..For the six of us in our camp, the biggest "dial in" was deciding if we should dial down to just eggs at the restaurant or "dial up" for the omelette. Bobby, Carolyn, Mark, Elaine, Joe and Alice at the Blueberry Hill restaurant was our breakfast site.. Might I add that we have been there so many times that waitresses know us by name and give us a hug.. This CANNOT be good!!! Waiting for Super Stock round four before we go into Vegas and celebrate Halloween.

Have fun, Vegas on Halloween is a sigh to behold!

Hi folks...no racing today but all of us, Mark and Elaine, Bobby and Carolyn, Bobby Warren and Joe and Alice, went to Hoover Dam this afternoon.. WOW and WOW...Just awesome..Didn't even miss drag racing on one of our day's off.. Weather still just fabulous...We are all still living here on the "concrete" here at the Vegas Strip. Had a realy fun day..

Every time I see the Hoover Dam it amazes me that it was built with the vehicles and equipment available in the late 1920's & 1930's !!
Looks like the lake is way down...... :-(

It makes you appreciate life more when you read the placque with all the names of the people who died building it.

Sorry we haven't posted in a couple of days but we have really been busy.. Larry and Patsy, I know now how much fun you had on your trip. Tom, we just need you along for the pictures..Jack, even in Vegas I don't believe you would bring rain.. Seriously, on Tuesday our group was fortunate enough to get a close and personal tour of the Air Force Thunderbirds at Nellis Air Force Base. A good friend of mine, Jon Richardson, SS/AS, has a son who is a member of the team.. Derric Richardson is a real credit to the young men and women who serve our country and make it possible for all of us to not only enjoy our passion for racing, but also the freedom we enjoy. Thanks Derric, you are a credit to your family and the military. We were honored to meet two of the pilots and go behind the scenes, so to speak, and thoroughly enjoyed the day.. Wednesday, a trip to Red Rock Canyon and Bonnie Springs (old western town)v was the order of the day.. Alan Wade and Mark Nowicki stayed to run the combo race. Alan made it to the semi's , so naturally we used the evening to celebrate. Alice, myself, Bobby Warren and Willie Evans made the trip to the desert. One of the pictures you see is Bobby, Willie and Joe disecting the motor on this very old fire truck. Today has been pretty much relaxing and teching in for the race to start tomorrow. Hope everyone, at some time, gets to make this trip. Will post again soon.. Our daughter and her husband just flew into Vegas, so another night on the town... Joe and Alice

Just a couple more pictures to have you share with our Thunderbird tour..Just so awesome we can't describe it This second picture is actually a painting.. of the two planes...Joe and Alice

joe tysinger · 11-05-2010, 10:15 PM

Hi folks, sorry it is very late tonight as I post our day. As you can see, the excitement climbs ?!?!? ..Here is our Friday at 7:03 pm in Vegas. First we all went to IN and OUT Burger for lunch. ( Bobby Warren, Marilyn and Alan Wade, Mark and Elaine Nowicki, Bobby and Carolyn Howald, Wendy and Buddy Stallings (our daughter and son-in-law), and Joe and Alice. So... we have one picture of Alice and Wendy at dinner "in town" last night.. Elaine Nowicki and Carolyn Howald doing crafts for Christmas presents while we wait, and last and I saved the best til last.....Mark and Joe doing repairs to Tysinger's trailer where a man behind us backed into the flap wire and tore out pieces that shouldn't have been torn out...So, repairs were made.. Oh, I forgot to mention.....that Super Stock has NOT made a run yet today, and we're supposed to have two tonight..So, we are all hoping we'll get a run in about one hour... Joe and Alice

joe tysinger · 11-06-2010, 05:35 PM

Well, I started to post last night, I mean early this morning, when we returned to the motor home...but.....just pooped.. But that's the joy of this sport. These are pictures for you to enjoy.....We will get another qualifying shot later today. Then first round of eliminations after that sometime...Biggy for us today was breakfast at---you got it..."The Blueberry Hill Restaurant." We'll keep you posted...Joe and Alice
