"Live" from the Carolina Nationals@ Zmax

Okay guys and girls it's time to shake off that Indy hangover! I'm not technically there yet but I am in North Carolina. I maybe just a little over zealous in getting the thread started but I'm getting ready to race after a self imposed 3 month break so I'm anxious to get this thing started.
What a difference a few months makes as temps promise to be some forty degrees warmer than the last time we were here in March. And that brings up another "cool" fact about the 2016 schedule as the Spring race has been moved back to April.
I should also thank my friends Mr Bud Rowe and the Rowe family because I almost didn't make it as the transmission I installed after Bristol broke after one 300 foot pass down the driveway and Mr Bud loaned me his spare! To top it all off Greg installed it for me Monday morning while I was working. Its great to have such good friends especially since it was my fault and not having my other transmission fixed already.
This also marks the first me and the wife have been racing by ourselves in about 5 years. Her sister is keeping our girls so we can celebrate our anniversary this weekend. Me racing and her shopping of course! It's 2 weeks away but she decided this would be a great opportunity to celebrate since the outlets are only a couple miles away.
I have a few things to settle up business wise in the morning, then we'll hit the road around 10 and hopefully be there by 3. So let's get ready to go racing!!!!

New motor, Patsy? Or are you bringing the truck back out? Good luck whichever way it is.

Good evening from Charlotte. My business this morning took a little longer than expected and we got off a little later than I wanted. Pretty uneventful trip here and arrived at about 4:30 at the back gate, the parking crew was a little indecisive in where I should be parked which cost me close to 30 minutes. Finally got parked, thrower the door down and boogied around to tech at 5:00 according to my phone. Awesome you're thinking! Nope, was told they were done for today. Story of my day, oh well I'm sure the guys at tech had a long day and were ready for a cold one!
So tomorrow, as usual it will be a mad dash. Tech opens at 8am and first qualifying run for us is at 8 also, did I mention I got to get gas also!
I'll have more tomorrow as well as Ms Patsy will also I'm sure!

We got our Q1 in this morning without a hitch, I believe there were some indexes wrong at least one anyway that was mine. On hold now for a big cleanup in Super Comp. More in a little while....

[HR9121]

Stock and Super Stock both got their runs in but as we were being called for Q2 we were bumped for Comp...

Q2 is in the books, they are about to rap up SS now as well. Jim Marshall tells me that Mr Larry hurt his block so I guess I'm the line reporter this weekend. I better get out and snap a few pics since Ms Patsy is not here! Hope you get
