Qualifying rain out so the lads will start re: practice 1 speeds. Casey Mears on the pole...isn’t he a “start and park”?

Nationwide is on now but we have an appointment to see ZZ Top at the Amphitheater.

Oh, about the track. Kyle Busch’s comment today was that they screwed it all up when it was ground down.

Good evening....FRIDAY NIGHT RACIN’ and the Bears are on too.

Look at the empty stands, I know it’s early but there can’t be that many under the stands.

Did I miss something on rained out quals? We’re now setting the lineup by practice speeds? What happened to owner points? I guess I didn’t get the memo.

I’m headed out for coffee with my wife, daughter and grand daughter and then a drive around the bay to the Samoa Drag Strip. A company I used to work for is sponsoring the annual Nostalgia Drags featuring 348 and 409 Chebby engines. First drags were held there in 1952 when I was a mere 19 year old yut. Look from me here when you see me coming around the bend...

Are you coming around to Bend or are you going over the hill??

20% chance of showers at the track today. We’ll be on an hour delay to get the tri-tip done. Bumping and banging? You betcha!

ZZ Top was good. Migrating geese landing in the river w/snow capped mountains in view. We enjoyed the concert & the next and last one on the menu is Huey Lewis & the News on September 11th. I’ll save a seat for you.

I’m 19 miles away by road and I can hear the roar every time. I’m opnly ~15 miles away as the crow flies. You could not pay me to go to one of those races, after working one as a sub int he pits back in my college days.

Tri-tip is being “Traegerized” and we’re ready to go. Mrs. Happydog will sleep through the race as a nearby forest fire has created extremely smoky conditions in Bend and she unfortunately had too many snoot-fulls last night and today and it’s made her sickly.

I’m not running the #22, you got 4 minutes to change...

I will be running:

Kazzellozzzzzski
Biff
Turax
Vickers

Wow HDx2, we are running exactly the same drivers this week. But, don’t blame me if you have a sub-200 point race!

fake hurricane coverage.

I know it's been a long time since they had one, but the hype is unbelievable.

Even here in Indiana the weather peeps talk about it like an apocalypse is coming.
