Live from Galot Division LODRS 2-3

Well in true fashion I am not there yet which to anyone who knows how I roll will not be surprised. I just found out yesterday that Ms Patsy will not be here this weekend so it looks like I'm on my own so I thought I would get started early on this. I am locked and loaded but have some work to get done today so I can play tomorrow.
The weather looks to be absolutely gorgeous for this weekend with a chance of rain Sunday afternoon but since they plan to complete this race on Saturday it shouldn't be an issue. The schedule shows 3 qualifying runs for Friday and straight into 1st round of eliminations on Saturday morning. Today is test and tune with a clear Carolina blue sky!
I may not drive over till in the morning since its not much more than a hour and half for me so if anyone wants to jump in and help feel free.

Good Luck Racing James.

I won't be there till tomorrow mid morning but I'll bring my computer and try to get some pics up this weekend.

Thanks Pete, going to miss you guys this weekend Ms Patsy and I won't be much help at Charlotte since normally I have lots of family there as you know. Todd that would be great if you could pitch in, typically the car count has not been very good so this race moves along rather quickly not leaving much time for reporting.

Cooter, just an FYI that they having big dollar race at Carolina Dragway so some of the double duty racers will be over there. And of course some are reluctant to run 1/8 mile...shame since by all reports (including Ms Patsy) it is a great facility. Good luck and thanks in advance for the live reports.

This race is starting to grow for stock/super stock, last year there were 49 super stockers and 41 stockers which was a better field than the Cecil race a few weeks later. From the looks of the pits there are more racers here this year than last. Rich is doing a good job for D-2 at getting more racers to give NHRA a try!

Thanks for all your great reporting as always! I couldn't help but notice Lee Tuttle was dialing above his 9.30 index is that a live timing error or did he actually dial above his index and win rounds?

[HR9121]

PJ I honestly don't know, I never noticed his dial in this weekend but looking back at live timing it sure looks that way.

Here are a few I took from around the pits.
