"Live From" NHRA Gatornationals
 
3 Attachment(s)
I am here in line and there are noticeable less rigs here then there were last year. Last year at this time we easily had a 80 rigs here. Today there are about 40. The weather is absolutely beautiful, 75 and sunny. The word is they will be parking us Tuesday at 10:00 am but I am sure it could change. I do not think parking will be an issue because of the obvious low car count.

If I here of anything interesting while we wait to be parked I will be sure to pass it on. I see Gary Richard's rig here with all his cars, two ford's two Chevy's. Your guess is as good as mine on what he will be driving.

It sure would be a good promotion for some of these racers to be out in town. That is of course if your (prime spot that you got there early for) would be held for you. Is there so much going on that the track and NHRA can't see that? They could do some static displays with some remote radio broadcast. What is the down side to that? The fans you meet/make at your display, will stay in the stands to watch you race! Am I the only one that feels promotion is good and is needed for the general good of sportsman racing?

The other downside is having your ***** car jacked at gunpoint while you're out there.

Ken, don't know about for the Gators but Gary drove the new Mustang Stocker in the Gainesville Division 2 race.... Was #1 qualifier if my memory serves me correctly.....

Good morning everyone from sunny but not so warm this morning Gainesville. Temp is about 54, but it is supposed to go up to 72. Either way its better then back home where its only in the 40's all day.

As you can see a took some pictures of the rigs that are here. The main entrance road for the sportsman are full and they are starting to put rigs in the general parking area.

Things are quite, everyone still in the Motohomes, and I haven't heard any interesting stories or rumors yet. Unlike last year I do not think weather will be an issue, and along with the low car counts (except Super Comp) the race should go rather smooth this weekend.

Wade, You are correct. If people see the cars in town it helps. The "old Days" of open trailers was really fun. Washing the car at a gas station, eating at the Jerrys and parking in the lot brought many to see the cars....

Hey Ed! We're talking Gainesville here, not Newark! The big problem would be keeping the half naked college girls off your car!:eek:Jim
