Living The Dream
Red lighted first round of class and first round in elimination. We pack up Sunday so we could leave early today, not so we had a dense fog advisory, got to leave at 6:30am. Fuel $303.60. I-10 to I-55 while we are on the bridge with just enough shoulder to get out of the travel lanes a astute driver informed us something was broken on our motor home. So upon inspection the foot was down rubbing the road a d sending sparks everywhere. The pin had fallen out of the cylinder rod and robbing a few parts from the lift we were back on the road
Zipping right along in Fla. in the rain we picked up a nail in a trailer tire and ruined it. 65 min later we have the spare installed and I’m soaking wet, but living the dream. We have been on the road 11 hours and are still two hours from the track in a rest area on I-10. We are now One hour in trying to enter Gainesville points race and nothing has changed on the car or class from yesterday. NHRA get with the program, please keep in mind we don’t have to do this, and make this process more user friendly. Each racer will only carry so many straws before they say to hell with it
