Re: Live from Charlotte- Carolina Nationals
Just got an email that they will resume parking at 3:30 but no word on how late they would continue.

Re: Live from Charlotte- Carolina Nationals
This just posted on NHRARacer.com
Sportsman Notice - Charlotte Depending on weather conditions, we intend to start moving sportsman racers into the pit area by 3:30 pm today, Thursday. We will attempt to park all rigs today. Safety Safari is establishing an action plan for their team to begin work on the track surface this evening in an effort to begin racing activity as planned Friday morning. The Daily Run Schedule will be revised as necessary based on when we can begin racing activity and the conditions moving forward. We will make every effort to provide the best racing conditions possible. We are aware that the current weather has not provided an enjoyable experience for you so far and we hope that changes. Some of you may also be feeling the effects of this storm system at home. If a sportsman racer would prefer to not participate in the event and instead turn your focus to next week’s Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series event at Rockingham Dragway, you will still receive a credit from this week’s Carolina Nationals. Thank you. Great decision by NHRA!!

Re: Live from Charlotte- Carolina Nationals
We have drove through the storm and come out to pretty skies around Greensboro. It wasn't that bad as we had timed it pretty good and only run through a couple squals along the way. We are getting some fuel and will be there shortly, hopefully they will be still parking when we get there in a couple hours.

Re: Live from Charlotte- Carolina Nationals
We made it! In line now for parking and it must be my lucky day because they locked the gate behind me. Can't have no better timing, if you happen to be looking for us to drop off any donations or beer we are parked right beside the pole G-4 on the not paved side.

Re: Live from Charlotte- Carolina Nationals
Good morning from Zmax, it's chilly this morning and it will be fast. Stock has been called to the lanes.
