Mr. Slick, Awesome work today- as usual. You are a real pro! Thanks for the last minute post office pick up. And also for getting the post race data up so quickly. What a day of racing! Wow! Bubba, you had the fastest car of the day with Disclosure. DaPine, I think that you were the King of the day. I believe you raced in all classes but novice, right? Let's see- New track record in Stock? Dethroned Humerus & won the class. Congrats. Second in both Mod & Pro-Mod. Also, were only 2/100's off from the winner in Limited. Great stuff! Limited: I never thought that I would see the day that Wasabi would be outrun.. Wasabi is a hall of famer to be. Proquest is one of the top builders in the country (which reminds me that we need to open PWDR to internationals so that we can rightfully claim it as "World Class"). Groovy Greenie had his day. Great Job Max, Slow Steve or whoever you are. I think Sushi also did well, right? Stock: Who are you TJR? What a showing today you had. Single entry: TJR Blue Hornet, second behind Dapine, right in Front of another Future Hall of Famer "Humerus" the infamous Docb. Beakerboys: Nice win in pro-stock with Psycho, she's a real beauty. You sure have brought some enthusiasm to the league. Phil: The Grump is also a future hall of famer in the Hot Rod bunch. Congrats on the win. I was having major computer problems today and want to thank all that helped me- Tory, Bob, Steve. Messenger was not cooperating for me at all today. Oh, well.... This is really a lot of fun. Can't wait to meet you guys at the Blue Grass Open!!! Hope everyone has a great rest of the holiday weekend.

Ditto to what Sappington said! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D TJR Racing is my oldest son Tristan. He wanted to get into the mix. CSR Racing is my middle son Chandler. If it wasn't for that first run of 4.20 his average would have been 2.92. Not sure what happened there. Definately a super competitative race! And lots of fun. OK Slow Steve. Time to share some of your secrets! See ya Guys Later Scott Beakerboys

WOOOOOHOOOOOO!!!!!! a 3:11 !! How impressive is that I ask!! Mr.Slick could have saved some electricity and used a sun dial to time the car . We're speaking of my new car Blu-N-Wyte It's a good thing I didn't watch it race, 'cause I sure would have been embarrassed in public. (sniff,sniff,whine) I really have to get it back to find out what went wrong, because it ran as fast as my modified, on the test-track and I really thought I had a contender. I used krytox for the first time and maybe that's my issue. Who knows?? (Insert loooong sigh here ) Impressive racing, guys !! The track is definitely where the BS stops, and as Ahhnuld would say, "Ahll be bahck" Lee

The 4.2 was the result of the rear left (from front) wheel rubbing the body - it was stuck up against it. . . I figured that it wouldn't change the standings if I adjusted the wheel by pulling it out a bit. So I pulled it out a bit to make sure it could spin freely without rubbing the body. The other adjustment I made was one of SLKRNSNT's cars that had so much cant that the wheels rubbed the top of the body. . . . it didn't make it to the end of the track. . . . I adjusted them down a bit but it was still slower than last month. . . sorry. I didn't see anything obvious with Blu-N-White. . . good luck re-tuning it. Sushi had the most wobble of all the cars - like it was still a live fish and was swimming down the lane. . . and it still had reasonable times. Well, I had better get back to doing the videos. Took some time off last night and did some corn on the cob and steaks on the grill! ;D

WOW All! Tight Racing! I hate that I missed the live race, couldn't even get to the results until tonight due to being out of town with no internet access! After new axles and alignment on my novice Retread, it picked up by 0.001! Better watch out Remix, at this rate, in just a little over 45 more proxy races, that records mine!!!! Limited has gotton tough! It looked like 5-10 were only seperated by about 0.01! (ok, so it's another 0.05 to first, but a fella can dream, right?) Can't wait to get WidowMaker back for a retune, I ran out of time getting it ready so this was a great baseline. I know SlowSteve is gonna HATE that he didn't get to see the race live! Great job all!

I adjusted them down a bit but it was still slower than last month. . . sorry. Warren, Thanks for repairing Grumpy's Toy III so it could race. I'm sure it ran as good as it would have if it hadn't been readjusted during shipping. Congratulations Scott, B&B, and Dwayne. You guys were flying this month. It's nice to see some more Pro Stockers. Congratulations to all racers. Phil
