debwill Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 I met with Nick today to get training on the Cover It Live software that I'll be using during the Snowball Derby. Since it will be new to me, I hope y'all have some patience with me as I figure out how to use it. I'll be doing live race coverage on the following Texas drivers who have registered so far: Bomber Division, December 2, 2010 30 Lawrence "Cody" Smith Kyle, TX Super Stock Division, December 4, 2009 80 Allen Alexander San Antonio, TX Modified Divison, December 3, 2010 7 Tuffy Hudson Ingleside, TX 9 Bradley Riethmeyer 14 John Schultz Round Rock, TX 33 Jason Morman Seabrook, TX 39 Mark Chrudimsky Austin, TX Allen Turner Snowflake 100, December 4, 2010 1 Stephan McCurley Humble, TX 02 Matt Smith Houston, TX 03 Donny Kelley New Coney, TX 6 Brandon Bendele La Vernia, TX 14 Jake Kruger Bastrop, TX 15 Cody Smith Adkins, TX 27 Jason Young Magnolia, TX 41 Chris Davidson Pearland, TX 53 Charles Evans Jr. Friendswood, TX 57 Mason Mitchell Houston, TX 81 Dillon Spreen Boerne, TX 43rd Annual Snowball Derby, December 5, 2010 1 Stephan McCurley Humble, TX 02 Matt Smith Houston, TX 41 Chris Davidson Pearland, TX 74 Ryan Lawler Colleyville, TX 99 Casey Smith Austin, TX WOW!!!

debwill Posted November 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 I got a PM and added Bradley Riethmeyer to the list (don't know his number yet). That's too cool. Texans will make up a third of the Modified field! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vir Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 Deb, if you were tall enough to pass for 21, I would bet you a beer that there are more than 15 Mods at the Derby. Danny and I won't be there this year. Dan because of work, and me because of being decrepit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debwill Posted November 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 Vir, Here we go with the short jokes again! I agree that more than 15 Modifieds will be racing at the Derby, so it should be an exciting race. I'm sorry to hear that you and Danny won't be there.

Team Hogan Racing Mom Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 I met with Nick today to get training on the Cover It Live software that I'll be using during the Snowball Derby. Since it will be new to me, I hope y'all have some patience with me as I figure out how to use it. It isn't easy Debbie. I had to use the same program for the Bandolero Nationals at Texas Motor Speedway this year for LegendsNation.com. The first day I was so stressed out because I couldn't type as quick as the action on the track. On the second day I got my daughter Kaitlyn to type as I dictated the track action so we could get it posted quickly. I have to give Nick praise because it isn't easy to keep up with the very fast track action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debwill Posted November 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 Amy, I know it will be difficult. However, I'll let Speed51 do the main coverage. My focus will be on the Texas drivers, e.g., drivers who advanced positions, involved in an accident, etc. I'm hoping it will be a little easier than reporting on an entire race (all drivers). I have no doubt it will take a lot of focus and some fast typing. I guess I'll just have to work overtime with my little, short fingers! LOL txtom, Remember, I can get even!!!

Snowball Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 Yeah, I figure there will be atleast 30 to 35 mods, and possibly even into the 40's. This is just a guess based on previous years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowball Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 Deb, will Reithmeyer be in a Modified or a latemodel?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txtom Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 Reithmeyer will be in a Mod from what I'm told. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScannerMac Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 Yeah, I figure there will be atleast 30 to 35 mods, and possibly even into the 40's. This is just a guess based on previous years. Did Travis Kittleson replace Chuck Barnes in the 12 car and the same goes for Dennis Reno replacing Bobby Know in the 30 car on the new Derby List? Clay Rogers in the 2 car--frequencies coming soon. Thanks. L McMurray Great Lakes Racing Frequencies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickHolt Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 Debbie will do very well with the CoverItLive software. We sat down over lunch and she caught on before the food was even delivered! And by the time we were done eating she was showing me features in the software that I didn't even know existed! But, Debbie, if you run into a snag, just give me a shout and I'll see if I can help you out. Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debwill Posted November 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 Be nice, Joe! Thanks, Nick, for your vote of confidence. I hope I don't have to bug you too much until I get the hang of it. I know it will be a big challenge to stay focussed and get everything typed quickly. You're a tough act to follow!

debwill Posted November 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 Marc, I could use some help with the photography again. I've always blamed it on my camera, but you proved me wrong last year. I'm sure the folks here at home would like to see something besides the picture of the wall on the back straightaway that says "Five Flags Speedway!" LOL Floyd, I'll try to make sure I post some news about Cody's race on Thursday night. It will be so exciting to see one of our own compete in the Bomber race.
