Thanks everyone for the good wishes!

It is a crisp, cool day here in Reynolds! It is 61 now at 10 am. Today forecast shows 82 high, Friday 83, Sat 84, Sun 85 with 50s at night. And 0% chance of rain! I just hope the weather guys get it right this time!

Test and tune is this afternoon, so we are getting ready to try things out!

More later!

A little disappointing for test and tune. Lost a tenth in 60' over the local track from last weekend. I think they are using Lane Choice and lots of people are not hooking. Where is Redman??? They could use you down here!!!

You all won't have to worry about big wheel stands with VP traction compound. Put plenty of weight in the back and run B.

Here are a few pictures from the drive down yesterday and a couple from today:

Coming down thru Tennessee we used to see barn roofs saying "See Rock City". Now they have little billboards for Rock City and Ruby Falls at Lookout Mountain in Chattanooga!

Thanks for the pics Patsy, Nickajack lake is on my bucket list. Before I die I want to have a bass boat with fishing poles and a large cooler of beer. I have passed over that lake several times on my way to Gainsville and Atlanta. Beautiful.

It is another clear, cool day here in Reynolds! It is 58 now, going up to 83 this afternoon. Time trials start at 10 this morning with super street, then stock, super comp, super stock, and super gas. They also run index cars here, too. After being very frustrated yesterday with test and tune and not being able to hook, we finally got 1 good run. So much for testing anything new! Just had to keep adjusting to just get down the track. Hopefully the track will be better today!

Lots of people seen here yesterday: Gary and Jerry Emmons, Larry Stewart, Jr., Rusty Johnson, Jimmy Parker, Merrill Schrimsher, Drew Skillman and lots of others from in-division. I think Steven Dziorny is supposed to be coming down also with Mom Jennifer!

I had to go over and try out an ice cream cone from the Strawberry Patch at the end of the track. Soft serve strawberry or peach ice cream! And boy was it good. Might just have to have another this afternoon!

Oh, the track is sponsoring a barbq dinner tonight for all the racers! Thank you Silver Dollar! That is really nice of them to do that!

More later!

Good luck and have a good time. I'll say it again, if you happen to see Michelle Furr tell her I said hi. She runs S/C and S/st. Nice people.
