We'll I'm here that's about all I can say. Had a little trouble getting away from work, then traveling with my lovely wife is about like riding with a tourist agent. Her parents are also with us in their motorhome and had a reservation at trackside camping but security couldn't find their information. After an hour they managed to contact someone from the camping office who said "put them in C5." There is about enough room to park my golf cart in C5 so they are dry camping next to me at the moment, you can't make this stuff up!
So by the time I get up in the morning, find my entry packet, get teched in( opens at 8 am) and make it to the staging lanes for Q1(starts at 8 am) anyone want to take odds on whether I make it or not?
It's still good to be me though and be fortunate enough to do this and especially with my family!

Yes thank you! And thank you to Ms Gloria Ley who expedited the Stock racers standing in the registration line! Her quick thinking made it possible for about 5 of us to make that first run and I got a few pictures to post a little later to boot, Ken will be proud.
Running Super Stock class right now....

Cooter, any pics of me spinning the tires hard ? Never had that happen before. This place is crazy. On the othere hand it is very nice. We are at A2.

I was standing in the registration line when you went down, I saw the top of your car go by! We went over this morning but y'all were gone, I'll be looking for you later.
