Default Soon to be live from IHRA Mardi Gras Nitro Jam

Walking out the door in about 30 mins, its a little over a 3 hour ride. Have to go to the Raxx club to get credentials before we get to the track. Will keep everyone posted as well as I can. This will be my first IHRA race, very excited to meet some new friends and people from this site and see some old friends as well. Also hope to go some rounds with the new car.

I hope I can live up to the job of "pit reporter" as well as the others have.

Chad, I'm Really glad you are coming! I'm flying in with the fire crew this evening. If you get the chance please come down to the top end and say hello. Would love to meet you. I also hope you have a great experience with us and want to come back again and again. Most of all HAVE FUN! I expect to see you riding around on the double decker Mardis Gras float throwing beads out!

Myron's there and settled in. Said it seems busier than last year already.

Good luck this weekend!

Still home working. May try to sneak out to Coastal Plains tomorrow for a $3K.

My impression so far........ Disorganized. An hour and a half to get through tech, then you are caught in the staging lanes with no way out. Finally get out of that and there is no one at the scales, and they are off. Would it kill anyone to turn the screen around and leave the scales turned on. They Said they would be on at 9 AM.

On the positive side, everyone was very friendly and thanked us for being here.

When I was there for a Div race in 2009, the local track personal were not real organized. Nice friendly people, just disorganized like you said.
