[TF CREW]

Anybody been by Firebird today to see if any trailers are there?

 

[Old Guy Rookie]

I haven't, but then I can't see the track from where I work. (It's not that far though.) It's been raining here all day and supposed to rain tomorrow too; but, I wouldn't bet my mortgage on any weather forecasts for Phoenix. It can change in a heartbeat here. I have my tickets and am still planning on taking the day off tomorrow....

Saw Kenny Bernstein at breakfast today near the track. Haven't gone out to the track yet. It's been raining all day and expected to continue through Saturday. I hope it lets up before then.

The Bernstein team was supposed to have a photo shoot today. Copart should have pictures up later tonight on Twitter.

 

[The Counterfeiter]

Was just out at the business park on the reservation. Lots of wind gusts.
Taking off at noon tomorrow for the track - I'll post who's here Friday night.

 

[vegasnitro]

The weather forecast is going to keep me away ... gonna stay in Vegas and catch some testing here in a couple of weeks (hopefully) ...

 

[J.C.]

Just spoke to Derrick Lether at Firebird. He says testing is canceled for tomorrow, but they hope to run Saturday and Sunday.

I doubt they were able to do any outdoor shots given that it hasn't stopped raining all day I guess they could do indoor shots?

 

[Don Kennedy]

I took My 'Sold " Super Stocker out to Firebird today and there was Kenny and two 18 wheelers from the Force camp there and two other pros up by the lake . I was treated very well by the Firebird Employees about the weather situation and they were very concerned about the racers I even talked to Charlie about the weather as i told him I as Super Stock racer could not change the weather LOL

 

[The Counterfeiter]

Nasty situation in Scottsdale - a tent at the Russo & Steele Auction was uprooted and wound up on the 101 Freeway which is now closed. Reportedly, lots of cars were damaged, but only one minor injury. Could have been MUCH worse.

 

[Gary H]

Yeah, it's been pretty nasty here. I was going to head out friday afternoon but it's probably going to take awhile to get all the water up. I'll be out Sat and Sun though.

 

[Old Guy Rookie]

Well, the rain stopped a couple of hours ago and the sun's out now. This is a good sign for tomorrow.

 

[J.C.]

I was at the track today. They plan on running tomorrow. I cruised the pits and saw the following trailers:

John Force - About 7 trailers, can't tell how many cars
Cruz Pedregon - All red trailer, not lettered yet
Bob Tasca
Bill Miller Engineering
Brandon/Kenny Bernstein - Three trailers all wrapped in Copart artwork

Hopefully, more will show up this afternoon/evening.

 

[Dubs]

Anyone see how many cars the force camp brought?

Anyone see how many cars the force camp brought?

After reading this week's National Dragster I would say they have 3 cars unless sponsorship was secured for Neff's car at the last minute.

Thanks, Paul. Thats what I figured too...I would like to see Neff driving but I also wouldn't mind him helping out coil and bernie.

 

[Old Guy Rookie]

Word from Firebird, "WE ARE RUNNING TODAY". See you all out there.

 

[Bobby Bennett]

JOHN FORCE RACING ARRIVES AT FIREBIRD WITH THREE CARS

 

[Ugly one]

He's not driving because he needs to pay more attention to the BOSSES tune-up

 

[Gary H]

We leaft early, only Tasca had made a run by 1:30 or so. Pits are pretty much empty. Still pretty cool and breezy, I bet the track temp was pretty low. Even had a few sprinkles at the house when we got home.
