Hey Patsy,

We are already in the stacking area. It opened today, and they will be pulling us in Thursday morning. Its a little muddy in the stacking area, but if you say on the paved parts you will be okay, lots of rain last night. The sun is trying to come out and we had no rain today.

So much for no rain today, within about 20 minutes we just had about an inch of rain, It looks like a another cell is about hit us again.

Hopefully it will stop raining on Thursday. Looking forward to seeing some S&SS wheels up on Friday. Patsy, do you have the new car this weekend?

Well guys I can tell you that we had rain nearly all day here to the east. Some areas had as much as 5" locally from this storm, I will be glad to head west on Thursday. The bright side is that the weekend looks to be awesome with only slight chance of rain each day with very comfortable temps in the low 70's with morning temps in the low 50's for those first qualifying runs. It may be just good enough to get someone in trouble again this weekend!
As I said earlier I plan to be there mid afternoon on Thursday so you know where you can find me pitted so stop by and say hi. On a side note, Jimmy Buffett is playing Friday night at the Pavilion just down the street from the track and I have a few extra tickets so if anyone is interested hit me up.

The rains have finally stopped and it has turned out to be a nice day. Parking starts tomorrow, the holding lot has about 60 rigs as of now. Not much to report, its a good time to take on some motorhome maintenance.

Larry Hill · 04-25-2018, 08:41 PM

Well we got here about 11 this morning and have spent all day getting caught up with everyone . Went out with a great group to Razoos Cajun Restaurant tonight for a good dinner. As we came back to Stacking, we saw that this lot is full and they have started a new place before you get to where we are! And anyone who is familiar with how we get to the track from here, it is flooded! So I guess we will find out in the morning how to go!

Parking begins at 7 in the morning!

More later!!
