We're here, at least in stacking. We made the short 2 1/2 hr trip this morning with out a hitch except me following that #@$& phone GPS. We should get parked tomorrow and let the fun begin.

Thanks Cal. Well we're in and parked for the 2 week race of course it's raining but I had no problem getting in my spot. I even caught my first bass at the track yesterday evenning. Drag racing and bass fishing it dosen't get anyone better.

We went to one of our favorite dinner spots last night Cedar River (in Starke) with good friends Rudy and Ruth Mathews, Butch Dresback & Johnny Cobb. Johnny kept us entertained with stories from his younger years and a good time was had by all. The rains came down last night and the grounds are soaked hopefully it will clear up and dry out for the T&T today.

Hi Robbie, I hope you all have fun. I am going to try and get over to the track for a visit. Maybe even convince Andrea to come with me, LOL.

Well testing went just about as good as it could go. I had the car in SG mode and ran the TS like I'd normally do (just after the leave) and the car responded better then expected with one run being 023 light and a 9.904 ET thanks Dale Koncen for the TS numbers to get me started. The schedule is they extended T&T into today starting @9:30 till 11:00 then we get 1 time run. Its a little cool for Florida this morning waking up to 49degs the weather today should be good going up into the 70s. Photos to come.

Well we made 2 time runs yesterday and 1 this morning hopefully were ready for eliminations. They're telling us they may run the 1st round this evening we'll see.

Hows it going Robbie ?

Well the Baby Gators sure didn't go as hoped. I went out 1st round 008 red. I was 007 in my time run and put 8 numbers in the DB the most I thought about putting in was 10 so I was going to red no matter what, Sure hope the Gator Nats go better.
