[Larry Hill]

So here is the story getting to Race # 3 in Bristol, TN.

We got up early and left Indy along with the Cottens so we could avoid the early morning traffic. So at 5:30 am we drive the 2 miles thru the pits in the dark from our pit space to go back out the main gate which was the only one open that early. You had to kinda follow the garbage cans which were sitting on the edge of the road! So we get thru Indy traffic fine! Then on to get thru Louisville! After a pee break for the guys (too much coffee), we get to Louisville about 8, just in time for the morning rush! So that took a while with "give a gap, take a gap".

Then Larry gets on the phone with fellow stock racer Kenny Miracle who lives down around London, Ky to see what is the best way to get to Bristol. Well he says since it is a pretty day we ought to take the scenic route thru the local towns and roads. A pretty ride and 40 miles closer than taking the interstate.
