"Live From" Bristol - Thunder Valley Nationals

[Ken Miele]

Hey guys, I just pulled in... I have not been to this track for over 10 years, man how things have changed. Anyway, as most of you know the schedule has changed. Sportsman will get 2 rounds of eliminations instead of 1. Stock will be out first at 8:30am and then its the typical rotation until eliminations... things will be moving fast tomorrow.

I will do my best to get photos, I do have media credentials, but I may not have time as the sportsman are on a tight schedule. If I get a good run in our first qualifier, I'll skip the second, that should give me plenty of time to get some starting line shots.

The weather tomorrow looks good, but Saturday looks a lot cooler and rain in the morning.

I did find a few cars out...

Is there no live timing from Bristol this morning?

[Larry Hill]

No live timing, what a gyp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ken Miele]

Good morning all, no live timing... not sure what the issue is. There is no one here that I can talk. I went to get my media vest and there is still no one around. We just made our first shot down the track, and it was pretty foggy but the track seemed ok. Its slow here as always, bar is 28.45.

I have to make another run so photos will be a little light this race. I will do my best to get some shots. If anything I will get shots from the pits or the stands.

Be back later...

[Frank Castros]

It just came up.

[Ken Miele]

Hey guys I'm back, we are moving quick, Super Stock is in the lanes for their 2nd qualifier. First round for Stock should be up in the next hour or so. I did manage to get some phots of Super Stock. Here is one set, I will have more later. If I go out early I will get photos for Stock.

A problem with schedules like this is if you break something you are out of luck! there really is no time between runs or eliminations to get anything done. it’s so sad, even if you did break something you’re not going to go into the manufacturer’s midway and get the parts you need. Boy, how things have changed!!!
