good evening guys, well kidney stone stop me from going to ET finals but I’ve been watching and Tucson Dragway wins the team points. as well as sending pro and super pro to the national event. The best part my friends Chuck Hawk and Cindy Hawk are in the final to see who is going to race at the national event. Husband and wife in the final. Has anybody ever heard of that happening. Sorry I don’t have anything else to say. It was a great weekend.

but you all have a great week!

Man I hope you are over them already. Worst pain I have ever dealt with.

Oh yeah! Stones will stop you cold! Been there twice. 8mm.
Speedy recovery!
Mine was Calcium Oxalate, any plant dark green or dark sodas, beer excluded.

Div 7 Bracket Finals in the Pro class, I did OK.

Went out in the 3rd round on the low roller gamblers race. The team race I went out in the 2nd round. The summit showdown race on Sun. I thought I had a mix of skill & luck, but it ran out in the 4th round. 1st round I cut a .000 light & got me the provisional bye in the 2nd round. 2nd round I ended up having to race & won. 3rd round luck kicked in, my opponent went .000 on the tree to my shyt light. I won the round, by feeding him all the stripe he wanted & he wanted plenty. 4th round my luck ran out & I had another .000 light for the loss. I darn near took out the tree & almost crossed the center line. I stayed in the throttle to try & catch my opponent, needed more ET than I was carrying. It would have been nice to have some nitrous on board.

Anyway, here's a shout out to a DRR Member/Guest who introduced himself before the 4th round when I raced his wife for the loss.

Hope all is well with everyone!

BKing you did a good job, it was a tough weekend for a lot of great racers. I’m thinking about the Thanksgiving race but need this 14mm stone out. Haha

Hope you make the Thanksgiving race, we'll be there. Planning on running your Hangover race this year.

While I did decent at the Finals, it's not up to my standards of the past. I guess I can blame it on my somewhat new combo, Not!

2BKING moving on to the next races.

BK, did the belt behave itself this weekend?

Yes it did!

I wish I could say the same for the suspension. It wanted to turn right while the front wheels were in the air. Everything is checking out alright so far, need to do a few more checks.

good morning all, hope everyone is doing well. Looks like this place is kind of slow on posts so I thought I’d drop one in. Seems as though it’s inflation is slowing everyone down just a little bit. And here in the desert we still get high temperatures and can use some more rain. Next race for me is in November, and after that we have the Hangovers race which will be a big one last week in December. Well I hope Fern and Floyd and all the others who post here chime in soon as what’s going on in their world .

Hope all of you have a great weekend.

What’s going on with fuel in your area.

Ok Nick, you got me. As I type this I am sitting in Duke hospital waiting as Kathryn gets a knee replacement. The life of old people

Fern I hope she has a quick recovery, I had knee surgery way be back in 1985. The PT is so Important so make sure she puts out at 100%. You take care of yourself

7pm here and she is in a room and mouthy as ever. She is in a good mood and they are getting her ready for PT. I’ll go back in the am.

Chuck T texted this morning and said he was at the bracket finals in Darlington. Real close but I had other priorities. Everyone stay safe

Fern, I'm still around.
Marty ix zlmost done with all the modifications on the old hay hauler then it's off to SEMA.

Glad to see you back. Causes concern when you drop out for awhile. We are home now and I am the nurse and gofer. I think she is doing OK. Old is rough some times. Stay safe

Good evening guys, been going through a lot of tough roads. But I’m hanging in there, it’s ugly to get old. But it’s better of above ground than below. Been missing s few cool races, not sure if I’m going to make Thanksgiving in Vegas but will be at Hangovers in the end of December in Tucson if I’m not , I won’t talk about that! LOL

JRED, hope you get them roads smoothed out!

Hope you make the Thanksgiving race but understand if you don't. I do have a question about the Hangover race. What does the nighttime average temps run during that race?

Hope all is well with everyone!

Come on Nick, old is good it just hurts more. Mama is still not able to walk without a walker but other than that she is doing well. Already planning a trip to the beach as soon as she is able. Racing around here seems condemned. Hasn't rained in like forever yet rains the weekend of the foot brake race a Rockingham and the VMP race. No rain forecast for next 10 days. Go figure. Support your local racetrack, they need us. Everyone stay safe.

BKing Normally would be in the high 30s mid 40s but under our new climate controls it could be as high as the mid 50s we will know better as we get closer to the date.

wrong Terminology “ climate guessing”. we keep getting weather people telling us it’s going to cool down, they are 95% wrong by 15 degrees in the past month. So I don’t know what the weather may be at the end of December. Does that help you Vetman?
