No Brian she is in a cast after having ankle surgery and they had to cut her tendons so she cant put her foot on the ground for 8 weeks so we have 7 weeks to go. Her sister is going to watch after her so I can come. Yeah.

I fly back from far far away on Saturday, but plan on being there Sunday to race. Might get there Sat eve, but don't know yet. Chris will likely come too.

Brian, do you have a car yet?

See y'all then!

Lou

The Slant race has always been on Sunday. In principle, it could be changed...

I am set to get back to Blacksburg Saturday night around midnight. Will come down with at least one car in the morning....

I think the Mimkens are coming. Hopefully the huge TN contingent will be there, six shooters blazin'.

Looking forward to it!

Lou

This was a nice race with 10 cars and some notable spectators attending. Brian and Anna Mimken made it over from Butner, NC to watch and cheer and hang out.

Punchline is that Meril Bruner won the race, which I think puts him in the points lead in the East. Congrats to Mark Charapich for runner up honors in his Hyperpac 170 Valiant street machine!

Closest round was I believe between Rodney Hargis and I. Same 0.04 lights, double breakout, me by 0.023 (15.847 on a 15.87) and him by 0.019 (13.231 on a 13.25). He actually let up at the end to let me cross the line first because he thought he was going to break out!!! I think I could see that I was about 1-2 ft ahead of him at the end, and obviously so could he.

We discussed doing a 2-day race next year, and/or running eliminations on Saturday only. The Bristol track is fine with either way!

Fun stuff!

Lou
