"Live" from Down South!!!
We are on the road headed south for the shrimp and crawfish tour! We loaded up this weekend in lots better weather than last year! 50's instead of 20's like last year! It was 30's this morning as we were pulling out! We are so ready for some warm weather! Our plan is to race 5 races in 6 weeks as long as everything stays together! We begin this weekend with Orlando, then Gainesville for 2 Division 2 points races, then off a week,then Gainesville for the for the change of venue race for Valdosta, then the Gatornationals, then Belle Rose for the Jegs Sportsnationals!
Larry didn't do much this winter--just dusted off the car and aired up the tires! He was busy though working on his creative writing skills!:) I will be posting along the way so more later! Patsy |

Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
Ran about 475 miles today. We are tucked in at a Flying J south of Atlanta, with the slide out and the slide out of harms way. We went through the southern part of the Smoky Mts. today and they lived up to the name, foggy. Not a single photo -op. Tomorrow the sunshine state with our Fla. permit in hand.

Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
Patsy, how did you make out with getting your credentials? I called yesterday, but Jennifer will be out of the office all week. I'm leaving for a month on the road, which includes the Gators. Do you know if they can still print them out at the track?

Those who tried and failed to get it done on their own had issues once at the track. The NHRA people in the trailer there said they were making changes to take care of the problems the racers were having. Have fun and best of luck at the races. Rick Cates Canyon, TX |
Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
Don, I still was not able to get ours printed before we left. I guess we will figure it out down here!

Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
We are here 😃😃 Got here around 5:30 after $22.00 in tolls! Ran out of money and had to pay the last one with a 6 pack😄😄!
We are stacked in some nice grass! Don't know when they will park us. Jim Marshall is here, also Sterling Simmons, Alan Wade, Jerry Silveus, and Termite! We had to get the satellite going so we could watch Kentucky play LSU! We are up 4 points at the half. More later ☺️☺️! |
Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
Should be one or two rocket launches today. You might be able to see them ! - Jim -
|
Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
There is supposed to be one at 6:03 this evening! Looking forward to seeing my first rocket launch😊
It is a beautiful day today! It is supposed to be high 60s. 71 tomorrow and then only 57 for a high on Friday! Could be some really fast times! More later |
Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
Have you ever watched John Armstrong's Corvette leave the line? It's kinda similar.

Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
It has been a great day today! Very relaxing just catching up with old friends. The stacking field has been filling up all day. We park tomorrow and test and tune.
We drove over to Titusville and had dinner with Jim and Pam Marshall at the Dixie Crossroads that Terry and Linda Nagel recommended. Food was great! Then we drove down to the beach across from Cape Canveral to watch the launch of Space X. Here are some pictures: http://i368.photobucket.com/albums/o...t/2015/090.jpg http://i368.photobucket.com/albums/o...t/2015/091.jpg http://i368.photobucket.com/albums/o...t/2015/093.jpg http://i368.photobucket.com/albums/o...t/2015/094.jpg http://i368.photobucket.com/albums/o...t/2015/095.jpg http://i368.photobucket.com/albums/o...t/2015/096.jpg |

Re: "Live" from Down South!!!

Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
Alex is likely to be a new team member later this year in a Showroom Stock Eliminator Challenger. Or maybe we will be a member of her team. Talented person, sings the anthem, does interviews, drives a Mopar out west, pretty good beer drinker, Probably E/SA or something thereabouts. I thought this would be a good way to introduce Alex. More tomorrow.

Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
Jeff, she would never pass for a boy. Very pretty.

Usually good beer drinkers are good mud bug eaters too.

Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
Sorry about the lack of info today! I think I am out of practice! We got moved in and parked about 10. Stock and super street are on one side and everybody else on the other. Where we are has a big ditch right down the middle of the parking area. We couldn't park facing the track so we are facing the parking area at an angle. But we are here and parked!
The weather has been great today although windy. 70 degrees but a 15mph wind. Lots of people were testing along with us today. Larry was happy with his runs, so I guess we are set for tomorrow. When we run in the morning it is going to be about 20 degrees cooler and wind out of the north. It is supposed to be high in the 60s the rest of the weekend and low in 30s, but it sure beats being home where the high is in the 20s for the weekend! It is beer thirty, so more later! |
Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
Hey Larry and Patsy, good luck and have fun!
|
Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
Hello Larry and Patsy! Thanks for keeping us updated. That's one thing we haven't seen in Florida yet is a rocket launch, to cool. Keep everything together these next few weeks and I'll see you at the Gatornationals.

Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
Tech was at the scales next to the waiver trailer, so everything went smooth. We installed new seats so I had them checked out by Dave Ley to make sure they were safe.
Test and tune was fast about 900' and the track hooked on my old Goodyear tires. Not sure how many runs on the tires, forgot last years log book, but must be approaching 200 runs. Last three runs 60's 1.302, 1.297, 1.311. Last two runs 330's 4.017 and 4.019. Its cooler this morning so it should be fast! Only ten spots left open in stock. |
Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
The 60's were a bit generous there last year, but your car is hooking well and consistent with worn tires. And that's a good thing.
