LIVE from Piedmont
Well, TRYING to be live from Piedmont... Been sitting in the parking lot formerly known as US220 in Asheboro for 10 min. Was dead stop, now crawling a little finally. Maybe?
Trying to make the Test n' Tune tonight to try some stuff with the Duck Tape Jr. It is absolutely gorgeous out, mid 70's, mostly sunny w/ a cool breeze. More later hopefully!

Re: LIVE from Piedmont
Just been told that 220N is going to continue to be a parking lot until about 5:45pm. They didn't say what the deal-io is. I happen to be right at an interchange, almost at the underpass, completely stuck, with no outs. Some cars have been able to squeeze a 180 and get back to the exit, but there's no room to turn the trailer around. Yippie. Shut the truck off to save the gold-plated gas.

Re: LIVE from Piedmont
Moved a 1/4mile, then parking lot status resumed. Passed a fire engine in the median, but no sign of why it had been there. (Gone now). Someone has gone back to a Horseless Carriage, but he's just as stuck as the rest of us.

Re: LIVE from Piedmont
After a 2hr delay and long backtracking detour, finally made it here, and made 4 passes about round-robin. Started out with a brisk tailwind, tapering off as the night went on. Packed pits, and I see they got some nice grass to grow along the back row. Place looks great.
Weather at end of T'n'T... 74.9 F, 27%, 29.11 Baro, 2160 DA. Off to enjoy the sizable repast offered by the track... Block Party! Ortiz is missin' it....
