Live from Gainesville 2013

Sammy, Jeff is still at South Georgia testing.

Robert, we are still on the outside, but I will let you know when I find out.

There are quite a few in line. I heard that Redman said that if it is dry in the morning we won't start parking til noon, but if it looks like rain, we will start earlier. Right now it looks like it is going to rain during the night and clear up by afternoon.

Got that right!!! These two racers forgot more about racing stickshifts than most can ever learn!

Its raining and quiet.

James that is a cool diagram.

A quick word about the track prep at SGMP. The track personel at the gate said the track was using VHT. I had no proplems hooking and I never heard anyone complain about the track prep. The track crew did a good job! Thanks.

As Patsy said, it's pretty quiet here in Gainesville. I'm sitting here in my trailer getting some work done, and all I hear is the sound of generators running and the occasional rain drop on the trailer roof.

We've been in line since late yesterday morning. When we arrived back at the track this morning, we heard that parking was going to start around 11 am, weather permitting. Last I saw, this rain should pass through by late morning, so hopefully things will be moving by then.

More reports later...

Larry, you don't need one of those pedals to prove you are a man, but Chuck Norris does! LOL. See you and Patsy at Belle Rose!

The track prep at the Points race at G-ville was excellent! They were using VHT so apparently NHRA got the word! Weather and track should be very fast this year. Jim
