Default "Live From" Orlando Speedworld LODRS D2

Hey guys, Yeah its good to be back on the road as we head down to Orlando Speedworld Dragway for our first race in D2. The weather was cold back home when I left, but its 75 here and feels so good.

We are supposed to get rain later today and the temps are going to get a lot cooler over the next few days. Temps will be in the 60's for Friday's qualifying, with morning temps around 40.

We stacked yesterday and are waiting to get in, gates open at 6pm. The the track is rented today, that's why we have to wait until 6. Rain is supposed to hit around 3. Testing tomorrow starts at 12, Friday qualifying starts at 9am, Saturday eliminations starts at 9:30am.

Enjoy the rolling into...

Good afternoon everyone, test and tune has been on hold. We were supposed to start at 12, but the weather is not cooperating. Its has not been raining, but there was a mist in the air. Its a cool day with the temps in the upper 50's. The sun just started to breakout, and it is warming up. Test and tune will probably start in about hour.

I did find some cars out, but with the weather we had this morning most left their cars in the trailer. Although its not as warm as I would like, its a lot better than being home in North Carolina. I'll be back later with part 2 rolling into Orlando.

Hey guys, well the sun finally broke through and we are test and tuning. Not sure how long the test and tune will be as we had a late start. The weather was very good, Temp 63, DA of around 600ft and a Bar at 30,00. Tomorrow will be much cooler in the morning mid 40's and the DA will be below sea level for sure.

As I'm typing this I just heard there was a wreck and the top end. I'll post details when I get more info. They did say the driver was out of the car and walking around.

Life is good again. We have drag racing and "live from" and tours of the pits from Ken Miele. Thank you Ken, good way to get the year started.

Yes, it does seem like the 2024 season ended a week ago.
