"Live" from Charlotte 2019

Larry Hill · 10-10-2019, 11:44 AM

We were #15 in line and at 7:55 we were already pulled out and on our way to parking! We have a really good spot up close to Uncle Roy! Parking seems to be going flawlessly! Now a little maintence on the car and a little R&R !! No lines at registration and the weather is beautiful !

Life is good!!

Yep, flawlessly. Arrived at 9pm last night and was issued #126. It's now after noon and I can't even see the entry gate.

It sounds like the same brain-trust that parked Indy.

They must be having fun in the Queen City tonight because this thread is awfully quiet.

Brian Oakes · 10-10-2019, 09:44 PM

Flawless, NOT, was 95 got parked at 12.00, and iam not sitting at track from Monday or Tuesday for a 3 day race.Sorry this is getting OLD fast.

Dan Fletcher · 10-10-2019, 10:20 PM

I pulled the yellow knob at 2pm. 6 hours after they started. #126. I have no problem with the 2 or 3 people that were parking us. They did the best they could.

It's like staying in a toxic relationship, no one to blame but yourself. We all do this because we love it, but corporate greed and ridiculous penny pinching sure takes alot of the fun out of it. Pretty sick of being pissed off before you even start racing.

Drag week cars running at Charlotte this weekend.
If you are there check these cars out, from a 54 chevy that averaged 8.973 to the number 2 finisher 67 4 door chevelle 3,400lbs that averaged 8.539, These are the top finishing racers that participated in the 8.50 street power adder class at Drag week 2019. They have to do time runs at 4 different tracks and drive the cars to each track, about 750 miles this year. They take the best run at each track and average those and closest to 8.50 is the overall class winner for the week. under 8.50 does not count.
Number 1 finisher averaged 8.520 number 8's average was 8.973

7 Hrs to park 126 cars, sheesh!
Man they move slow.

HR9121 · 10-11-2019, 01:29 AM

We rolled in at 1 and are parked in the holding lot on top of the hill. Probably around 20 of us here, I got everything ready to roll out in the morning and haul *** to register and hopefully have time to make the 1st hit if they get me in and parked quick enough. After reading Dan's post I'm not too confident about that now.
