Larry and Patsy,
I hope whatever is going on West of Salina on I70 is over before you get there. All traffic was diverted, it was a 30 mile excursion North and past the Ellsworth exit. Be safe

Thanks Sean,
According to Google maps, I-70 is going to be closed til 2 pm

Larry Hill · 09-18-2019, 03:06 PM

It is opened back up. Right lane closed for a bit, but still ran 65 thru there!

Larry Hill · 09-18-2019, 04:20 PM

We’re here!! We’re here! And it is only a balmy 94 degrees! We are about 20th in line with lots already parked!!

More later!!

Warren Evans · 09-18-2019, 07:18 PM

Larry -

Yes, I will be there and we will be on the air all weekend. See you tomorrow.

Warren

Larry Hill · 09-18-2019, 10:01 PM

Yea Warren!!

Glad you are going to be here!!

If you ain't never been here you need to put it on your list. It's a unique felling you get when you stage you car in the same place as racers did at the first US Nationals. There's a lot of things to like at this well cared for historical track. For the "pit snobs", Don are you listening, pits are concrete. Electric service is $50 for the weekend, first come first serve. On site dump station. Friendly folks and "town" is five minutes away. A lot to like.

Darn Larry This "PitSnob'"will have to miss this race we had a small accident with my street car we are banged up a bit but be sure pick out a spot for me next year i will be there , Thanks
The" Pit Snob" lak Don Kennedy lol
I raced in Kanas long time ago not sure which track it was I believe it was in the 70s Keith Lynch remembers i think

Well it is another warm day here in Great Bend. 88 now going up to 91. Tech has started and test and tune is from 2-6. Larry is going to try out his new brake line and make sure everything works. It is only about a mile shut down area here, so I am sure he will get stopped before the end. It is really windy too. Larry Deforrest said putting up his awning in 16 mph wind was challenging! I took a few pictures that I will post later. Lots of rigs here and more still pulling in.
