Live from Bradenton

Robbie Welch · 02-13-2016, 08:56 AM

We made the 150 or so mile trip from Immokalee to Bradenton yesterday with out a hitch. Were parked down by the ET shack and camp is set up for the weekend. There's a good amount of cars here and the weather is looking good with a high in the 70s sorry guys up north. We start with tech opening at 8:00 and time runs at 9:00 the run order is the normal HR, ST, QR, TS, SR, TD, SS, & JRD. Photos to come later.

Robbie,

Don't come back North without some warm weather.....lol. Supposed to only reach 16 degrees here in NJ on Sunday. Good Luck down there, hope to see you at a few races this year.

Rob that's the plan, watching the weather channel this morning if we wait on the temp we'll be back in May. Well yesterdays race went off pretty smoothly finishing around 8:30 or so. Sorry I don't know the winners of any classes. I was busy replacing the fuel pump on the Fairlane. It decided to lock up in the staging lanes before the 2nd round. My buddy Craig came to the rescue hitting it just right to get it going. But it thru me off my game and after a nice starting line advantage I screwed up the finish line. That's the great thing about double races I get another chance today. Yall try and stay warm back home. See you at some of the Mid Atlantic.90 races.

Sorry for the lack of reporting, had a little trouble Sat and had to replace the fuel PP on the Failane all is good now. I lost in the 2nd round Sun,both of us where slack on the tree but I was slow. Were going to stay at the track and I plan on racing this weekend in there bracket program. Maybe it will help my finish line driving? Brian & Tina had to get back to the real world and made it home safely. We had a great time with them. Here are a few photos from the weekend

Thanks for the reports Robbie, really appreciated. I got to watch some yesterday and saw some awesome racing. I'm hoping to make SGMP but with this weather work is screwing me up. Maybe I can get out of here sometime......

No problem James, that's why I do this. I like checking out all the other live from reports. Were still at Bradenton motorsports park and thanks to the management we'll be able to stay until we leave for SGMP next week Thank you. It rained like crazy last night Teresa said we where under a tornado watch but this morning its bright and sunny planning on using the HD today. Here are some more photos from the weekend.

Look who showed up at the track, my good friend Wade Mahaffey. Were going to try to get by his place to check out the Corvette (street car) progress. We'll report back on this.

We took the motorcycle ride with Sterling down to Venice to visit Wade and had a great time. We took the long route going inland to Arcadia to eat at Slims BBQ and it was worth the trip. Wade gave us the grand tour of Venice to see the sights, the Gulf coast is beautiful

Here's Wades Street car project, it's his first paint job after wet sanding and buffing it's going to look great.
