I'm locked and loaded heading out tomorrow morning, hey Ms Patsy be sure and save me one of those VIP reporter parking spots. Tell them Ken said so if anyone ask!
Should be a typical Bristol weekend, hot and muggy with good chance of a thunderstorm at any moment. I also noticed my counterpart from the Bayou will be at this race, Southern Louisiana Cooter! Look forward to seeing hI'm again.
Good stuff happening with class for Stock this weekend, should be a great weekend!

Re: "Live" from Bristol 2017
 

We are here and stacked!! # 50. It is HOT!! That is all for now! I just opened a Peach a Rita !!

Yea, Cooter! I am sure Ken has those parking spaces pre-reserved for us!!

Re: "Live" from Bristol 2017
 

Parking is happening now!!

Re: "Live" from Bristol 2017
 

We are parked running parallel with the creek, so I hope the creek don't rise this weekend!!

East Coast Cooter just came by. He hasn't posted today either, so I guess we are both going to get fired! Not many people have their cars out today since we don't have to tech, so nothing much to take pictures of yet~

Re: "Live" from Bristol 2017
 

I had the pleasure of breaking bread with the Dog twice at the Sportsnationals. All I can says is GOOOOODD!!! Thanks Dog and Puppy

Re: "Live" from Bristol 2017
 

We arrived around 1 this afternoon and were parked within about 30 minutes, that's pretty good service. I was able to get out and do a little BS'ing since I don't really know how to act being at a race this early! After that I was going to get a couple of pictures but a cloud came up and it started to rain, so the few cars that were out got put up rather quickly. I'll try to do a little better tomorrow.

Re: "Live" from Bristol 2017
 

Are those "mudbugs" in the cooler? Such an appetizing name. :p

Re: "Live" from Bristol 2017
 

That's U15 count SHRIMP!!! Kent was my cook but I got adopted by Dog. You guys have fun and be safe. Phish

Re: "Live" from Bristol 2017
 

Good morning, Stock has been called for first qualifying run. Its a cloudy overcast morning, the air temp is 75 degrees and DA is around 3800'.

Re: "Live" from Bristol 2017
 

We got our first run in the morning and SS just finished up their first. Everything is running very smoothly so far and the sun is trying to peek through the clouds. Our second run should be coming very soon. I heard All access wasn't working but I think it may be up now. I got lots of pictures from SS this morning I will post later.

You people are enjoying the hospitality. Good luck everyone.

Re: "Live" from Bristol 2017
 

It is a beautiful here for racing and we just won the first round! Super stock has been called up! We all have 3 rounds this morning, then finished til tomorrow!

More later!

East and Louisiana Cooters both won!

Re: "Live" from Bristol 2017
 

East Coast Cooter out! Freaking car wouldn't run the number and the Dog throwed down a 10 light on me anyway. Looks like we are left to cheer on the Bayou boys...

Re: "Live" from Bristol 2017
 

We got by Longhany heads up that round! Now on to Antrobius!!

Re: "Live" from Bristol 2017
 

Racing on Sunday with a bye to the Semis !!!

Re: "Live" from Bristol 2017
 

Awesome and good luck!!!

Re: "Live" from Bristol 2017
 

When are you guys going to realize that The Dog has been setting you all up. First he gets Marshall to cook and have a great time. Then East Coast Cooter is happy to enjoy the fine Cajun Cuisine. Next day, Marshall and EC Cooter go down to The Dog. Something in that fine food? Just saying. Coincidence?
Third round and The Dog goes out with a great light but a breakout. Tough break.

Question; Did John Leach enjoy any Cajun Cuisine?

Ron Ortiz
U/SA Go get em Bayou

Re: "Live" from Bristol 2017
 

No Ron, Leach is alot smarter than me and Marshall he looked at the ladder and steered clear from the Dog pound! For the record they offer up beverages over there too lol, great people and we enjoyed hanging with them!

Re: "Live" from Bristol 2017
 

Nice driving job Larry. You get to race on Father's Day. How cool is that??? Good luck.

Re: "Live" from Bristol 2017
 

Very nice good luck sunday.

Re: "Live" from Bristol 2017
 

Great job Larry ! Good luck tomorrow.

Re: "Live" from Bristol 2017
 

Good luck Larry!

Re: "Live" from Bristol 2017
 

Put that Cuda in the winners circle where it belongs !

Re: "Live" from Bristol 2017
 

Good luck Larry hadn't had a big win since Norwalk 2012

Re: "Live" from Bristol 2017
 

Thanks to everyone for the good luck wishes! We will certainly need them!

It is another pretty day here in Bristol. It is going to be hot and humid again today!

Pre race ceremonies begin at 11 and pros start at 12. Sportsmen run after the first round of pros, then pros again, then us again!!

More later!

Re: "Live" from Bristol 2017
 

Good Luck!
Bring home the Wally and the check.

Re: "Live" from Bristol 2017
 

Good Luck Larry. Nothing makes watching a race more fun than rooting for a great friend like you and Patsy.

Re: "Live" from Bristol 2017
 

Well it is John Leach and Cooter in the finals. Waiting out the sprinkles now!

Re: "Live" from Bristol 2017
 

Good job Mr Larry, racing on Sunday is always an accomplishment!

Re: "Live" from Bristol 2017
 

Just a side note from this weekend, there has been alot of discussion about the no tech at national events but I wanted add that my car was checked on two different occasions. In the staging lanes before Q1 and looked over while I was at fuel check after 1st round Saturday.
