"Live" from Columbus Lucas Oil race - Page 4

Well for once I am not sorry that work got in the way of going racing this weekend. I just came in out of the pool (and it was almost too hot to be in). I don't envy any of ya'll at the track!

I just talked to Tonya Lynch and Keith blew up an engine today in time trials. They are only 2 hours away, so who knows?? if it rains out the 1st round tonight, they might be back tomorrow with their spare engine in!

Wade, you must be talking about No Problem or Houston. Not so much anywhere else. :-)

Sounds like Oklahoma!

Lost rd 1 in close race with Jeff Dona yesterday (.035 to his .030). Broke out by -.003. he was good by .019. Spent the rest of the day in the hotel pool again!

They did get all of the first round action in before any of the storms hit.

It's wet out here sunday morning, and the clouds look semi-threatening. We'll see what they can get in today...... I'm going home.

I heard the SRA reps were just called to the tower. That could mean a possible reschedule for a later date for this race..... wait and see.

1/8 mile race, it's only wet @ 1/4 mile finish line. It's still hot @ 88 degrees.

Mike Fuller · 07-24-2011, 04:12 PM

There's a pretty big thunderstorm headed right at them. I hope Jay will have enough sense to call it now and send everyone home. Its a pain in the ***** packing up in the rain!

It's been boring this weekend at home but I'm glad I didn't make the trip to Columbus. At least I've been able to stay cool. I think a better week for this race would be the weekend before the sports national race in September.
