Good luck Robbie and have fun! Pulling for you guys!

Sterling, have fun riding and be safe the weather will be changing soon. Cooter thanks, been thinking about you and the storm hope you made out ok? Todays mission is finding the Mississippi I've lived near a river my entire life and my dad was a watermen his entire live so there's a strong connection between the water and me. Photos to come

Good luck Robbie, would have come to root for you and my good buddy Jim Wahl in stock since Memphis is close to my hometown but family birthday will keep me close. Will be on the live timing though!

Today is starting out quite different then the last couple of mornings. A couple of rain drops fell last night and today is a little over cast and cooler a welcome relief. There's a good number of cars already here. I believe the plan for today is a T&T starting at 1-7pm we're definitely taking advantage of that. More later.

Thanks Doug I'll tell Porter also. We got teched in and I was in the first pair down the track. I was 014 10.888 not to bad of a guess the DA was 1530 then the clouds started rolling in and you can fell the weather changing. I put a new set of plugs in and changed the jet 2 numbers the DA is 1200 and falling. Tomorrow its going to be a Hi of 65 degs. Now it spitting rain and a good 10+mph wind blowing. They say its going to clear up around 4PM we'll see.

Robbie Welch · 10-20-2016, 07:06 PM

Well the rains finally won. They dried the track and called us up (all class's) and wouldn't you know it the sprinkles started up again. The plan now is to go thru the awards ceremony's starting at 10AM and start the T&T at 12PM until 4PM then go in to qualifying. The weather should be good see ya tomorrow.

Well I knew we'd find it if we just kept looking and I'm so glad we did. The Mississippi is a cool river rich in history and well worth the visit. Also if your ever in Memphis you have to go see the Bass Pro Shop it doesn't matter if your into fishing and hunting it's an unbelievable building. Here are some photos of todays travels I hope you enjoy them.
This is Rt40 bridge going in to Arkansas over the Mississippi.

This is a dredging operation in a canal off of the river.

Another shot of the bridge this one's from the top of the Bass Pro Shop 28 story's high.
