"Live" from the Hurricane Irene Nationals presented by RainX
 

Just thought I would give some perspective to everyone out there from hurricane alley. According to last reports it is expected to make landfall very close to where I am normally pitted when not racing. The "track" of this storm's eye should pass within 25 to 30 miles of us on the east. I thoughtgoing to Charlotte to run superstreet was a good idea but my wife was not as ammused by the idea as I had hoped. Right now in the process of batting down the hatches and will be back for further updates and possibly some cool pictures, not the class of pics you guys get from Lang or Beard but I will try to atleast make Cantore proud.

I do plan to go to darlington chip ic my crap don't get blowed away hope to see you there. My wife just informed that the governor's state of emergency doesn't mean that I had to immediately go lock the car and trailer in the shop at that moment. I asked had she ever heard of looting, who's the smart one around here now? More ominous signs that we are in trouble is the Weather Channel truck driving through town and Wal-Mart announcing they will close before tje storm gets here, really I didn't realize they would close for anything. That's all for tonight it will be a big day tomorrow and hopefully I can get a pic of the Weather Channel's Stephanie Abrahms to post for you guys.

We just rolled into the hotel and didn't hit any rain from FL to here. I hope it stays that way.

Chip, Stephanie Abrams is a Gator and we're proud of her.

Stephanie is definately a hottie, but this weekend she's a Tarheel. Woke up this morning and it is absolutely a beautiful day with a few high, thin clouds. Didn't have time to get the weather station out to get any readings before heading to the woods to try and get up the remaining wood we have cut before all the rain gets here. Thought it might be interesting to see what kind of DA and vp readings we get before during and after the storm along with barometric pressure.

Sitting here in Daytona Beach Shores watching Irene pass by app 175 miles off shore.... The best way to have a hurricane pass by.... High surf, angry looking seas, rain and wind squals but not as bad as first predicted... Hope all our neighbors to the north are as lucky as we were... Will keep watching the Weather Channel and saying a word of prayer for you all!!!!

Re: "Live" from the Hurricane Irene Nationals presented by R
 

We are preparing as well ......
Nothing you really can do except pray if it decides to hit ...
We are about 60 miles east of thelandfall prediction..
Hope i can come back on here with good news in the next day or so......
