"Live" from Charlotte O'Reilly Nationals

Bill, we missed coming to Earlville this year, too! If you saw on an earlier post, we went to Piedmont Dragway in Julian, NC last weekend. We were to be there on Monday to tire test for Goodyear, so we went early to run their Combo race, but it got rained out. All of the personnel there, especially Kevin Shipmon was really nice to us and let us stay there until yesterday, when we left to come here to Charlotte. The tire testing went really well, except Larry having to change tires all by himself after every run. Nobody had to rock him to sleep that evening. He also had to change the front seal in the transmission and then continue on with the tire test.

It is a beautiful here in Charlotte today and is supposed to stay that way the rest of the week according to the local weather. There is a little chance of rain late on Sunday. Highs in low 80s and lows in low 60s. Just perfect!

There are probably still under 20 rigs here now. We are supposed to start getting in to park at noon today.

Well, more later.
