[ChefKeith]

with a camera on his feet

Doesn't that make it tough to drive?

[WestCoastGal]

Jr says car FREEEEEEEEEEE everywhere entry and exit. Down 2 rounds and pulled spring rubber.

Car stutters when he gets on the gas. Changing carburetor.

Sorry, I painted the wrong picture for ya on the camera it's somewhere in the center panel of the floor pointing toward his feet. ;-)

Jimmie Johnson went to Bob Bondurants school of road racing in Phoenix last weekend.

I Am I Said skidded off the track a bit ago.

[ChefKeith]

looks that way;)

HH!

I'll be back in a few, gotta go reset the chems.

[WestCoastGal]

OK

Matt Kenseth crashed in practice yesterday and is in the backup car. He is having a fuel line/pump problem, they're not sure.

I Am I Said is back in the dirt.

Robby and Jeff Gordon both say they have the transmission setup hooked up so that is why they excel at the road races.

{{JunBug}} has a real nifty set up on his brake and clutch pedals. Heavy duty springs so he can rest his feet there without wrecking the trannie or the brakes (oops he's off the track in 4 like many others)

Rusty is tightening up his car, pulling spring rubbers. Now changing the front springs cause he wants it tighter!!

I'm worried now because Flash says his car is awesome................he said that last week too.

JJ airborne in the turn. Cool

Jr locks up rear tires in 11 and spins (wheel hop city) Now they have to change the drive line!!!!! Could hurt gear trannie anything that turns in that car can hurt them now per DW

[WestCoastGal]

Oops I almost missed that!!!

You know if I had a stick shift in it I would.

It's not as if I've never speed shifted by RPM's before. (long time ago)

I could go four wheeling with it though.

Of course it wasn't my car, I might think differently about my favorie car. :-)

[steveegg]

You could take mine (don't mind the melted cheddar on it :-)

[steveegg]

I don't see the Aaron's Dream Machine at all even Mikeyless.....did they just not enter this race?

Bingo. Mikey wasn't in Milwaukee last year either, even though the Winston Cup boys were off that weekend.

I know; I should be at the track, but I simply can't stay awake until midnight (about the time I would be back from the track).

[steveegg]

Hey, I've been practicing in my Saturn like that, but the upshifts are necessarily delayed because the revs don't drop as fast as they do on the race cars :-)

[steveegg]

Johnny Sauter moved back to the tail end of the field after an engine change (isn't fun in the sun, even though it was cool all day here, because there is no garage at the oldest race track in America).

He is moving up nicely though, even though he bent up the right fender a bit.

[WestCoastGal]

38 is looking good tonight also.

Did you stay for qualifying?

[steveegg]

Had some work around the house to do earlier. That was an "interesting" bump and run done by Hmiel (I didn't know he was back off of suspension).

[ChefKeith]

Well I guess You'll just have to take the head off and get the machine shop to shave a few .001ths off to raise the compression a few points.

We were getting worried about you the last few weeks- you "poofed" on us.

[WestCoastGal]

He may wind up back on suspension if he's not careful.

The 8 is spinning his wheels not going anywhere. Oops he just made it from 12 to 11

[WestCoastGal]

Lookout for Biffle!!!!

[steveegg]

Sorry about that; weather and a hectic work schedule played hell with my health.

Nothing like having a large Martinsville as the local track. They did a bang-up job on replacing the grandstand last year (the old one was a WPS project from the '30s).

The Navy car is assuming its usual place, but not before actually leading a while :-(

[ChefKeith]

We could put a B&M Shift Kit in that TH400 and then You could simulate with the column shifter.

[WestCoastGal]

You wanna splain that a little?

Geez that trackpass window keeps taking over what I'm doing here.

[ChefKeith]

I thought maybe We were gonna have to get WCG to break out Her tank and come looking for Ya.

I went there as a kid (7-8 years old) while visiting My GodMother but can't remember what was racing that night.

[WestCoastGal]

Truex in 9th with Biffle behind him ...lookout....
