Update From Phoenix

Toby Lang · 02-26-2010, 02:22 PM

They ran stock, super street and super stock and they were running super comp when some dragsters got out of shape when they came off the stop. They have been working on the track for the last couple of hours, spraying every inch of the track with VHT or whatever they use.

They pulled super comp out of the lanes and were getting ready to call stock to the lanes for the first round of the national when they announced that they are going to wash down the track and start over. It will be at least two hours before any cars go down the track.

You know the track must be pretty bad when super comp dragsters get out of shape.

On Jody's super stock time trial somebody got out of shape and came into his lane and almost hit him. Jody had to lift. They won't give him another time trial, so he has to go off last week's data.

I dropped in to say hi to a few racers on Wednesday this week. I didn't see any signs of the track being worked on. You know, in the down time. That might have been a good time to wash down the track if that's one of the issues.

Toby -- Sounds like I should be glad we got the big Nor'Easter here that kept me home ...........

PS- Just finished plowing and I can't believe it -- the Sun just came out ! ! !

From DRC - "after track clean up...Round 1 of Stock will be attempted" That's a new one!

I just got off the phone with a friend thats there and he says the concrete has disintegrated in areas and is coming up in chunks.

Deja vue?

Beginning to sound a lot like Rockingham 'eh Danny?

I feel for you guys.

Glad we passed on continuing on to Phoenix with the CJ car.

The rumor going around the pits is that they have canceled the national and will run it somewhere else (most likely Vegas) and they will try to run the divisional. Whatever doesn't get finished here will be run at Tucson.

Again, this is just a rumor.

Are you f'in kidding me. So those rich overly paid sportsman racers that have waited an entire week can now travel to Tucson or hey maybe Vegas. Guess this is how to guarantee a car count. Glad I gave it up. Chad if and when you do race good luck. Too all please be safe!! That place has and still is a mess.
