Live from Gainesville

Robbie Welch · 02-17-2011, 08:19 PM

Well, we left Arcadia around 10 this morning and got to Gainesville around 2PM. There seems to be a good amount of cars here for a Thursday. Got through tech before they closed, and there seems to be a bit of a differance at the NHRA races. I noticed it at Bradenton also, they seem to be glad your here, and tech has been no hassel at all. The schedule is to start at 10 tomorrow morning with the index class's 12.0,11.0,10.0 then S/ST, and I believe ST,SG,SS,SC. This is the first time I've been to Gainesville and I'm looking forward to racing here. Hope this is my weekend????????????

If ya see Rudy tell him he's had enough fun and it's time to come home!

Thanks Cal, hoping for good things this weekend. Having fun is what its all about. I wonder if it would be a good time to ask for a raise? I'll tell him Bob, I think he's heading home after the race. Its been fun racing with our little group Rudy,Craig,Billy,James & crews. I'll do my best with the, photos really slow connection out here.

Good Luck Robbi. Show'em how its done in Md.

Well this sure is not Bradenton weather, the DA is 1700+. Took 23 numbers out from the Bradenton race and ran 013, 10.921. second shot 013,10.898. Seems like all systems are working well. Car count seems pretty good but I don't have numbers.

Give them hell Robbie. Like Cal, Wade and Terry said, we are all happy for you and your wife and we're all following your progress. Do Southern Maryland proud.

P.S. what does the 12:00 Index pay and how many cars are they averaging.

Keep us posted Robbie,
We went home Saturday- the Flying Monkey broke a piston.

Robbie Welch · 02-20-2011, 09:15 AM

Well not sure what the DA is but I can tell you the temp 28* thats right its cold? I received the call that no one wants to get, that my dad had a medical emergency and had been flown too GW hospital. We packed up and left that night getting home 4PM yesterday. Went to the hospital to see pop and he seems to be ok, more tests are scheduled for today and tomorrow but hopefully he'll be out Monday. I'd just like to say thanks to our racing crew for all they're help and support Craig,James,Steve, Dennis,Billy, & Shawn. Hope to be able to do some more Live from reports later this year but for now the tour is over. Again thanks and good luck to all. Robbie & Teresa ItsyBitsySpider, sorry about the piston and not getting a chance to meet ya, maybe next time.
