Added Charlie back in! He gonna try and make it.

Just looked at the weather as of 9:00 PM this evening and the weather looks great. Partly sunny all day and weather in the low 60's.

Charlie is about the only guy who ever says "I can't make it." and then turns around and shows up. Most guys say "Yeah I'll be there." and then you never see them...

Happy racing,

Lou

I still have to finish the rear, today. Pumkin is done, but I had to drive 280 miles round trip to get a set of green bearings, yesterday. Can't run a spool with the stock axle bearings. Also had to change the clutch master and slave cylinders (both leaking) on the Toyota truck, yesterday. Wonder what else will happen. I need to get on the road early Thur morning ( 20 hr drive) , and the truck isn't loaded, either. Wonder what I will forget. I must be nuts.
I'll post if, and when I leave.

My car is running. Had a great time at Bristol. Just not in the cards this weekend. I hope to make most of the races next year.

Mike, It would be great to have you next spring. I would really like to have a 20 car field for next May. Talk to you later!

I'm bringing a friend. I am hoping he will kind of catch the slant racing fever. He is an old Mopar guy, but has never taken the slant/6 seriously. See you guys tomorrow. No. I'm not racing. But we will cheer you on.

Sam, glad your coming, but couldn't we entice you to run down the track and "test " your aero mods. That wouldn't be racing!!
See you in the morning.

Well lets let the cat out of the bag to the rest of ya'll. WE'RE HERE TOO!!!

A quick breakdown of the first round:

Brian Mimken (W) vs. Charlie Schmid
Whitney Covalt vs. Micah Covalt (W)
Rick Covalt vs. Rodney Hargis (W)
Ryan Covalt (W) vs. Will Burns
Ron Hamby (W) vs. Denny Covalt
Phil Stoneback (W) vs. Kevin Bradford
Dan Gravatt BYE RUN

Denny Spun as he left helping ensure that Ron moved on to the next round.

Rick red light, but was in good spirits about it, even giving a big thumbs up as he went down the track.

Charlie cut a decent light but wasn't able to run the numbers and Brian was able to hold him off.

Whitney gave Micah a good run, but ended up braking out by .05.

Will broke (possibly second gear) and didn't get to make it to the first round giving Ryan an essential bye run.

Phil cut a 194 light to kevin's 475 and that was the deciding factor in their race.

MORE to come SOON
