Live from Gainesville 2013

Larry Hill · 03-11-2013, 02:56 PM

We are here sitting in line with the others who raced at Valdosta. We had a window sticker showing we were at the divisional, so we are supposed to be getting in before the rest of the crowd. There are lots in front of us though. As C & W said, we are not parking. Everybody's set up here in the parking lot. I am ready to rest a little though!

More later!

Larry, I looked at the schedule Eric posted. But, it does not say when class run off are. I believe they have been on Fri morning. But, who knows. It might be thurs. Then 1st rd on Friday? When you find out if you would not mind passing it on, I would appreciate it. Thanks

Robert

hey larry is teuton playing nice! and does he have proper stemware LOL !!!!!!!

Larry Hill · 03-11-2013, 07:38 PM

Sammy, Jeff is still at South Georgia testing.

Robert, we are still on the outside, but I will let you know when I find out.

There are quite a few in line. I heard that Redman said that if it is dry in the morning we won't start parking til noon, but if it looks like rain, we will start earlier. Right now it looks like it is going to rain during the night and clear up by afternoon.

First of all great job Patsy. Second thing there's a rumour going around the DOG didn't bring a change of clothes. (look out stockers he wants another BIG trophy)

Good morning all, its a very chilly 37 degrees with an adjusted altitude of -1450. Stock has just been called to the lanes.

I found a few more random photos, I will try to get more today.

Congrats to Ken and Larry for getting by the 1st round. It would be great to see you both go lots of rounds this weekend.

Thanks Walt, what a crazy first round. The sun was at a point in the sky that made it tough to see. I was extremely lucky, besides my late light, I put a 10.60 on my window, instead of a 9.60. I don't know where my head was at. That was one round I did not deserve to win. Lucky for me Dempsey red lighted.

The good drivers seem to adjust fine, but there was some very late lights along with a fair amount of red lights.

There were two no shows in the mandatory first three pair, I know NHRA let the competitors know they were first out in the morning, so I do not know why they were not on time, or if they were broke.

Super Comp is just about done, Super Stock is next.

Be back later with more.....
