James, They started parking Sportsman yesterday about 3:30. Moved many more over and parked on roads on far side of track. Raining and some wind(not bad). Were supposed to start parking around 8:00 this morning but got text from NHRA that said we are on an extended delay because of the weather. They will update later.

Thanks guys, I'm watching it and probably won't go up till later this evening after things calm down a bit. Last thing I want is to drive straight into 50 to 60 mph wind gusts in a motorhome. Y'all keep your heads down until I get there and don't get too wild having a hurricane party!

What is the new email for national event text notifications? I got the email, noted that it siad there was a new email, but deleted it and finding the actual information needed on the website or event page is a joke.

Brett we got it like that! We have lots of experience here, in I think 1997 we had 2 direct hits 2 weeks apart so we know a thing or two about hurricane parties.
I think we've decided to drive up late this evening after things chill out so we will miss this party!
