Well,
IN 1993
Jason Line & myself left Minnesota for the Atlanta POINTS MEET. & the Gator Nats.
Got caught in the STORM OF THE CENTURY (first snow in atlanta in 100 years)
25 inches of snow!!!
Got stuck in a Dry County ... at the Bull Dog Inn Motel! (for3 days)
Took off for FLA. & HAD TO PASS ( with our trucks and trailers) A ROAD GRADER PLOWING A 6 LANE FREEWAY WITH A 5 MILE LONG LINE OF CARS BEHIND IT!!!
We got to FLA. to find someone had "helped us out" by CANCELING OUR MOTEL RESERVATIONS!!!!!
Then it rained for 2 days and that place was a SWAMP!!
NHRA ran 2 rounds of S/C &G/G and then kicked them (who were no longer in the race ) out so we could park stock, & super stock on the tared pit spots and let us
up out of the mud.
By this time we did get 1 Q- pass
My car broke an axle.
I had a single for class and could not make the call !
After crawling around in the mud and pounding the twisted axle out with a sledge hammer and with the help of Jason, Al Provost & Mike McDonald, we got her fixed!
I was way to dirty to get in my car and move it to the tar.
Jason drove my car to the tar for me
Came back the next morning at 8:30 AM (stock is going to run at 11:30)
Only to hear THE CALL ...STOCK ELIMINATOR TO THE LANES!!!!
We scrambled to get things ready
I jumped in, hit the key.....the battery was dead!!!!!!!
The fan was left on.. Thanks Buddy
How is that.
