NMRA - Saturday

Good to see a lot of old friends today...

Mars
91MikeGT
Red_Vert
Jomar
$hawn
Big Shawn
Fredh
Bitemark46
and a few others I'm sure I'm forgetting...

Anyways, I had a good time. I'm not sure all of the guys driving did.... I seen so many guys loose traction on the big end today. I think it was the strong cross wind, but it might have been some other debris blowing on the track too. I am not sure what class this was, but I think it was Outlaw. He was lined up on the Budwiser side. The guy on the Tower side got sideways, straightened up, got back in it, and got sideways again. After he got out of it, I looked at the Budwiser side and watched this car go backwards into the wall....

Yea, he looked fine walking back to his pit. He was shook up though and I understand why!!!

Archie's car looked good, but he appeared to pedal it too. I think he was having the same issues with traction.

This is what I'm told by him, that is crazy windy at the track and right after you get past the last set of bleachers the wind is blowing right across the track,.

First round the wind almost took him into the wall.....I just got off the phone with him about 15 minutes ago,

Third round --- 8.202 178.96

Not to bad for a 347 with off the shelf piston and rods

Had a good time today. It's nice to be finally driving my car. Who's going out there tomorrow? I'll be entering my car in the car show so I can get a closer parking space.

I saw you today talking on the phone so I didn't bother ya.


It was crazy windy and I was cold as shit. Thanks for the update on the driver, OldMan. I saw the crash but I hadn't heard anything more than what the announcer said about him communicating with the track officials down track just after the wreck.

All in all I had a blast.
