Best of luck - hope to see you Wednesday, if you're still there.
Still heading to the M.A.M.B. drags after this?

Thanks Guys!

No Chris, I'm going to head for home, and some R&R!

Met some more cool guys today- Elmo Rodge, Freud, Ray the Rat,Big Tim, and Sparky. Stan Back and Rich Fox were there to TRY and keep us on the right course!

We got right through tech, and went to the rookie course. Of course, we had some rookie mistakes- one Driver went past the 3 mile under power, and another lost the door net rod on the return road. I got extremely hot when I was second in line, and bailed out of the car, saying Fiat this!

After I got cooled down, and received some advice from an angel( Jeanelle?) on the Hudson Boys team, I got through the rookie run. At the end of the day, Dale and I got our rookie runs done, and Pete and Chris will do theirs when it dries out.
I have to say, it seems surreal being here, amongst all the history, and experienced racers!

A few shots from the Rookie line- That's Pete getting strapped in!

He pulled two plug wires.  If he goes to Impound (not!), I'll bet they catch that.

My pregnant daughter-in-law was having issues, so I made a flying trip home.

After an emergency C-section last night, here are the results!

Alexander Kolton (AK) Walker!

I'll post up answers to the above questions, and more pics( of B'ville), toninght.

He originally entered XXO and the SCTA data entry didn't pick up the change. Who cares? No harm - no foul

Congrats on the new edition to your family, maybe a future LSR racer  :-D !!!!! Hope all the hard work that went into the car payed off this past week. I lived in CO for 6 years, Northglenn Adams County area off of I25 and 120th, I would move back in a heart beat. Congrats again especially on the grandson, hope you daughter-in-law turns out fine.

Anybody who's followed this build as got to be AMAZED at the fullfiment of nearly all th goals that Buddy proposed when the build first appeared on Landracing.

So many posters are of wannabees, neverbee bs artists and downright liars, but yrs truly has added you to his Land Race heros list! W/ Jack and Willie, etc.

And stay away from go kart racing in SoCal with the Road Runners.

I hear ther's a BOUNTY on ya!

Most important, Congatulations, DAD!
