"Live" from Indy divisional 2013

Larry Hill · 04-25-2013, 09:10 AM

We are sitting here in line probably 30 or more rigs in front of us. We got here about 1 am. They are lined up almost to the road at the Main Gate now.

We left before dark last night and saw about 30 or so deer as we went up I-24 and I-57. Then after dark about 9:30 we hit the deer that we didn't see until it was too late. Larry put on the brakes, but was probably still going 55 when we hit it. We got lucky as it only messed up the plastic bumper cover. But it just missed the transmission oil cooler!

It is 36 degrees now, going up to 62 today and bright and sunny! Friday is looking good --65. Then Sat and Sun up to 70. Just a little chance of rain on Sat.

Well more later.

Also be mindful that the Cops are out thick on the Interstate for those that are still traveling. Don't be in a rush, the Race track will still be there when you get there.

Safe travels to all.

Ah, roadkill on the grill later? What is the proper wine for venison? All kidding aside, have a great time and good luck.

I think a nice red would be fine with venison! But I think I will have burgers instead!

We are in and parked and boy is it gooky in here! We are where the hemi cars park for the Nationals on the one little strip of rock that was put in last year, I think. The rock is even soft! Everyone is getting just on the edges. Good thing is the sun is shining and hopefully drying this all out a little.
