CONGRATS TO THE WINNERS AT FIREBIRD

I cant remember a race at Firebird that when off so well, no big wrecks, bad oil downs or bad weather. Now with that said, Congrats to Thomas Bayer for is win over Larry Marshall in S/C. Larry I was pulling for you, hope to see you in the winners photo this weekend.
Mike Ferderer in S/G. And a special mention has to good out to Karen Comstock, a.k.a. Blondie, a.k.a. DRAMA QUEEN, after this past week. Karen did good, she made it to round four. Lets hope this next week end goes smoother.

GET WELL SOON MIKE RICE

For anyone who didn't see Mike Rice our Div 7 Director this week end it was because he spent it in the Hospital here in Phoenix, I was told they released him Sunday and that he was flying home to be the his family, but should be back at Firebird for this weekends Div 7 race. So if you see Mike, just check in on him and make sure he is taking it easy.

BBQ AT FIREBIRD DIV 7 RACE

OK, it's on for Friday night February 27. Mike Rice has told me he hopes the racing will be over by 7 pm. We are going to try and start at 6 pm and serve until we run out of food. If you are racing the class that's last down the track we will still be cooking for you.

RUMOR HAS IT

I've heard rumors that the Div 7 race at Fontana is moving to the weekend after the first Las Vegas race in April. I've not seen anything on NHRA's site yet but I've been told by several that it should be posted this week, so be on the look out for that change.

SPEEDWORLD OPEN

Well it was a nice weekend for the race at Speedworld. We left kinda of early, Tom hurt his motor so we packed it up and came home to start getting ready for Firebird. From what I've been told they had to close down the track before the finals could be run, they are going to be ran this weekend at Firebird. I don't have any info as to who is still in.

RAIN, RAIN GO AWAY, YES WE HAVE WINNERS

Congrats to all you racers who stuck it out, I don't know if Tom and I could have stayed there for a week confined inside the motor home and listen to the rain.
I hope this is not a preview of the up coming season's weather, I remember a few years back when it seemed like every National had some type of bad weather, and one of jokes was that NHRA stood for Next Heavy Rain Area. Well again congrats to the winner, see you at Speedworld this weekend for the Div 7 open and then the next week at Firebird for the Nat., followed by the div there and then the Div at Tucson. (lots of racing)

DIV 7 B-B-QUE AT FIREBIRD 2/27/09

OK, I know many of you have been waiting to hear if we are doing it again, YES we are. It will be Friday night starting about 6 pm, still working out the time with Mike Rice. This year we are going back to the basics, Hot dogs, Hamburgers, Yes my Chili will be back, Chicken, and Dicks special salad. I'll update as the date gets closer.

THE 2009 SEASON HAS STARTED

Congratulation goes out to Roy Cracraft for his win in Top Comp (Top Dragster)(photo from best appearing away here at Firebird) AND Gerald Turczyn for his win in Super Comp this past weekend at the Las Vegas Div 7 Open. ( Gery, sorry I don't have a photo of you in the Corvette)
