Re: Live from charlotte.....
Weather for rd 1 of SS was 76 degrees, 94% humidity and 29.59 baro.
I ran Bud Rowe in round one, and came out on the winning end. We're off until tomorrow morning. Here is a few pics from the afternoon (too busy during rd 1 to get any SS pics - sorry!)..... Here is first pro session down the track........   Sun came out in afternoon and temps went into the low 90's. Pits from hillside in back of pits.........  Here's Eddie Diaz (ss/ia) relaxing in shade after his rd 1 win over Tim Worner.........

After rd 1, I had some free time so I took a tour of LOWES motor speedway with the Worner brothers.

Re: Live from charlotte.....
Tom ~ thanks for all the great pics. Nice to have a visual of the facility. It reminds me a lot of Vegas strip. Good luck tomorrow!

Re: Live from charlotte.....
Does anyone know if spectators can buy a ticket on Sunday or are they really sold out like someone mentioned earlier?
Thanks, Doyle |

Re: Live from charlotte.....
Doyle, I walked up to the ticket window today and bought a "standing room only" ticket for 30 bucks, no problem. I dont think you'll have any problem. Its certainly worth the trip.
