Meril just called me to tell me he won the Saturday race and beat Larry in the finals. I didn't ask but was Ella working in the tower? Some things don't add up. Ron Hamby gets beat , Norm gets beat, Lucas wins on Friday, Meril and his employee meet in the final of the Saturday race the Bruner clan put together! ':shock:'

I happy to announce that I took out Ron H. We BOTH slept thru the lights and I took off and baited him to try and catch me. He couldnt but tried anyway. We both broke out.

Yep, more would be nicer. I am with family far away, so could not make the race.

Team Green, you'll just have to come out and whup Meril in a new Slant car....

I never could beat Meril, why start now?':('

I really dont have much more on the details as I left after a 1 Hour track down with NO anouncements and just standing around. I do know Rodney says (and rightfully so) he will NEVER return. He had a buy in the second (our ladder) then the track changed everything around 3 times. I ran Meril and he ran Norm. Larry must have gotten the buy.
On a GREAT note Cindas aunt Renee Fuller is now hooked she ran Garys 64 Val and now wants me to build her a car.
She went down in the 1st round but had a blast. She and Rodney raced each other in practice and she beat him. 2 64 Vals with 170s going down the track was great. I know there is a video of it among us.
Im still on the road home so will try and do a good rightup later.

That's pretty much how Slant races used to be all the time. Tracks wanted us to do all the pairings, but then would change them for no apparent reason.

Mark, I raced Merril one time and welded him to the tree. As usual, my car wouldn't run within a day of the dial and he drove by with the brakes on.

I treed the old fart both times this week end still could not beat him .
But I sure do enjoy seeing him at every race.
FYI I had a good long chat with him and he says "dont know how long I will be able to keep this up as my health is stready going down hill" Also says he tires easy. Not to shabby for 77.

Hmmmmm, I was sure Merril claimed he was 77 10 years ago. He's aging well.

I hope Rodney isn't looking for a reason to quit!! I have seen many rounds screwed up by tracks (even the finals once), so that is unfortunate, but nothing new. Glad to hear Meril is getting it done!

I look forward to seeing folks at Wilkesboro in 10 days!
