The track hooked pretty good all weekend for us. The starting line crew stayed on top of it. Thanks guys!
The track announcers were just ok. But they should have turned on more than 1 speaker in the stands. You could not hear anything hardly at all. And we missed you Leo! Hurry and get well soon! Thanks again to Steve Schmidt for putting on the big barbq on Saturday night. And thanks for having it in that nice dry and warm tent! The food was A-ok! Good luck to all you guys that are going back next weekend! We were entered at Atlanta for the National event, but after seeing how NHRA handled the Sportsmen racers in the rain at Houston, we decided to go to the double combo race at Bowling Green! It is calling for rain in Atlanta all 3 days! |

When I saw the qual sheet, I was pretty impressed that he could get a 343 to run that hard. A 290 gets him serious respect from me. It's not like you can choose from thousands of parts or rely on 30 years of technology.

Leo Taugher was definitely missed. It's just not a true division 3 race without Leo!

We're back at Indy to finish up last week's LODRS. The track is allowing everyone one time run today, and then tomorrow we set to eliminating down from the 450 or so entries that remain from last week. Pits are pretty lean, so it's hard to say if people are just going to come in overnight or early in the morning, or if there will be some holes on the ladder.
It's a somewhat bright overcast. Despite the week's forecast, it's actually pretty nice out. The wind is very close to the conditions that we experienced first round last week, a 3-5 mph crosstail. The barometer is down another .13 from last week. My pass was pretty close to first round last week. It's tried to spit a tiny bit, but no real holdups. The larger area of weather is moving north and west of us. Almost everyone I've talked to today has asked about the Northern Class Nationals. We are now one year away from the big S/SS extravaganza to be held at National Trail Raceway in Hebron, OH! I started putting together a preliminary flyer last night so I'll be able to flesh out some details and have something physical in hand to better explain to prospective sponsors and advertisers how the program is laid out.
