"Live" from Bristol 2015

[Larry Hill]

We are on our way! Should be there by 3 or so! Do we still come in the front gate for the National event?

[Larry Hill]

Well we arrived yesterday about 3:30, got parked with no waiting in line!


I tried to post a long post yesterday and then my Verizon hot spot went out so it didn't go thru, and I didn't want to type it all last night. Maybe today will be better on the AT&T hot spot~


First of all, it is HOT!! It is going up to 93 today! There is a chance of showers every day, but doesn't look like anything major.


And now for you coming in today--The signage sucks! Come in at the front of the track at the North entrance. We followed the green signs that said competitors that led to the back entrance, then had to turn around and go back to the front.


Last night I made some of my famous Sex at the Racetrack drinks for me and Pam Marshall. Boy were they good on a hot day!! But potent! Hopefully Pam doesn't have a headache today!


Today is tech day and getting caught up on all the gossip since the last race! Some more later!!

Hey Ms Patsy, as usual I have too many irons in the fire! I will be in tonight, park in the morning, rush to tech and then hopefully make the first run! See you guys tomorrow hopefully. Save me a spot lol!

[Larry Hill]

Sorry Cooter! All the spots around us are taken! We are packed in here like sardines! See ya tomorrow !

By the time I got my camera batteries charged and got out this afternoon, lots of people had already put up their cars for the night. But I got a few:



Larry "Bunk" Miller SS/FA (Blue Boy to our Pinkie)



John Leach C/SA



Mickey Whaley's C/SA



Brian "Quack" Oaks SS/CA



Pretty little stream running thru the pits!


We just got a little shower of rain~ Just enough to have everyone scrabbling to get their stuff put up!

[Larry Hill]

Boy, the place is really filling up! If you get here tomorrow, you probably will be using your jacks to the max. Looks like what's left if going downhill!!


Here are a few more pics from today. It only rained that little shower, then the sun came back out hot and humid!


A few shots of the racetrack:

Well it is about bedtime! We start out at 10 with 2 runs, then Class!

Good morning Ms Patsy, I'm in line and there is probably around 30 maybe a little more of us that will be using full extension jacks this weekend! By the way I am dead last, the weather got really bad last night on the way here so I found a cozy little spot at the rest area between a hundred or so 18 wheelers and slept for awhile. Got up early this morning and finished the drive.
If you've never been here you should! Absolutely a beautiful place, I've never raced here but have been here a couple times for the Nascar race and love the place.
Very doubtful I will make the first run but who knows.
