Live from Gainesville 2013

Larry Hill · 03-11-2013, 02:56 PM

We are here sitting in line with the others who raced at Valdosta. We had a window sticker showing we were at the divisional, so we are supposed to be getting in before the rest of the crowd. There are lots in front of us though. As C & W said, we are not parking. Everybody's set up here in the parking lot. I am ready to rest a little though!

More later!

Larry, I looked at the schedule Eric posted. But, it does not say when class run off are. I believe they have been on Fri morning. But, who knows. It might be thurs. Then 1st rd on Friday? When you find out if you would not mind passing it on, I would appreciate it. Thanks

Robert

Sammy, Jeff is still at South Georgia testing.

Robert, we are still on the outside, but I will let you know when I find out.

There are quite a few in line. I heard that Redman said that if it is dry in the morning we won't start parking til noon, but if it looks like rain, we will start earlier. Right now it looks like it is going to rain during the night and clear up by afternoon.

Got that right!!! These two racers forgot more about racing stickshifts than most can ever learn!

Its raining and quiet.

James that is a cool diagram.

A quick word about the track prep at SGMP. The track personel at the gate said the track was using VHT. I had no proplems hooking and I never heard anyone complain about the track prep. The track crew did a good job! Thanks.
