Had a first in almost 64 years of life, I had to remove icicles from the car so the straps would go on the car to tie it down. The first three miles will be the test. We hope to be on the road by 10 A.M.

He is on his way!

SO It's Dan's fault I stood in freezing temps with sleet and caught ONE bead yesterday in New Orleans. He is dragging the Zrust Polar Vortex south with him. See ya'll at Belle Rose for Tim's Chootout. Be careful.

Well we are sitting in the driveway ready to pull out, but we are blocked in. A low boy showed up here this morning to pick up a piece of equipment we had sold. After having to be pushed out of the driveway after he got stuck, he is now at the end of the road stuck again. Maybe it is like my daughter in law said, "It's a sign". Maybe we aren't suppose to go on this trip! Right now we still plan to leave if he moves in the next hour or two.

They are on their way.

Damn near crashed twice in the first 4 miles from the house with ice, snow, and ditches. I was following them and saw the complete side of the trailer twice. Really thought they were going into the ditch and rolling the rig.

We are rolling early. Probably be in the rain all day. Mardi Gras in Houma was wet, but not to be outdone my wife (who will be 70 on Friday) and I dawned rain suits and chased the floats. Must have caught two or three pickup loads. Kevin, wife, and little girl caught that much also. Now talking my way out of me being in Valdosta on her birthday shows what a real used car guy I am. Hope to be there before 5 pm. Somebody have the beverages ready, however we have some cold for a couple days now.

Good morning from Forsythe, Ga. We got to the Walmart here about 11:30 last night. We finally got away from the house about 1:30 and as Chris said the first 3 miles were killer! Quarter inch of ice, 3 inches of sleet and 3 inches of snow was not fun to get thru! But we made it! There was snow on the sides of the interstate, but the roads were clear once we made it to 4 lanes. Going down towards Nashville, there was lots of ice on the trees and broken limbs. Then our untimely leaving put us in Nashville at rush hour. So we lost another hour in stop and go traffic. Boy, am I glad we no longer live there! I don't know if I could deal with that traffic on a daily basis again.

So now we are on the road again. Should arrive at the track about 11. More posts when we get there. If anybody reads this that is already there, please post which gate we are supposed to come in today. It is not raining on us now, but the forecast for Valdosta is rain all day. Is it raining there yet?

YAAAAY the best live reports resume! Glad you got out safely, looking forward to your reporting! Wishing you safe travels and fast racing!

Larry,
We got in at 9:15 last night and missed early parking by a few minutes. We were first in line in stacking and just got in to park at 10:10. They are stacking everyone inside the south gate and then taking groups to park. They are attempting to get everyone on asphalt as it is a mosh pit everywhere else, we have had at least 2 inches of rain this morning and it is still raining at a good clip..

Our first time to SGMP and it looks like a really nice place. hope to see you and Patsy after the rain stops.
