We are on the road again headed home. Left the track before 6 this morning. We are now in stop and go traffic in Atlanta! I have a few pictures from yesterday that I will post after we get thru Atlanta!

Larry & Patsy, I'm really sorry to hear of the engine's misfortune. Seizing is never good. Also have to admit that I"ll miss those great travel pictures
you always post as you go down the road, plus your reports from the race itself. There will be a big hole in the events coverage without you two there. I hope the problem isn't serious, and you can resume the trip soon.
God Bless you both and be safe.

Here are some pics from the last couple of days:

This is Jim Marshall in Dallas in Jeff Teuton's super stocker. Think Jim might become a Mopar man again??

It is a little dusty in the pits in Dallas!!

South of the Border! Joe and Alice crossing into South Carolina from North Carolina

Somehow it doesn't seem fair that these are both A/SA drivers!! Larry and Allison Smyth

Here's how Allison reaches the pedals!!

Test and tune yesterday

Eating dinner at Justin's Place in Butler last night.

We are in Chattanooga now headed back home to see if the car is fixable quickly. Thanks to Wendy and Joe Tysinger for offering Wendy's car to use. Also Painter Stevenson offered to loan us his car. There is also a possibility of another pink Mopar out of Louisiana from Mr. Teuton! We should know by tomorrow the extent of the damage and will make a decision then on whether we will be able to continue our trip.

We got Alice signed up on Class Racer last night so she will be posting along the way out west. Pictures are still a possibility, too!!

More to come!!

Thanks for posting that picture of "Mutt & Jeff" (Larry and Ally).
It sure puts things into perspective. Ally's mom Sue is also in the picture (along with Ally's brother Steve in the background) off to the side. She could have stood next to Larry and made bookends to him. It just proves that good people come in all sizes.
What a great shot.
Here's hoping that Team Portatree does well in Reynolds.

Wendy, I love the upside down shot!!

A couple more shots from yesterday;

Our death run from yesterday! Mark Nowicki ran well though!

After we had all finished off our ice cream at the great little shop at the end of the track where we all drove our golf carts down.
Bobby & Carolyn, Joe & Alice, Larry & me, Mark & Elaine, Jim & Mary Jo. Great strawberry or peach ice cream!!

The nice ladies in the ice cream shop.

As you pull in the race track--all decorated for fall!

BLIND MULE · 10-16-2015, 01:20 PM

That ice cream is great!
