"Live From" 2022 Baby Gators / Gatornationals

Ken Miele · 02-28-2022, 07:27 PM

Hey everyone, we just pulled into Gainesville Raceway... and yes is jammed with rigs. I would say about 80 in the stacking area, but there could be more.I was talking to security and they said they should start pulling us in around noon tomorrow

Test and Tune is Wednesday, and its from noon-7pm. They had same heavy rain today, but the rest of the week looks great. It chilly now, rain stopped... mid 50's, but the rest of the week will be in the upper 70's and low 80's and no rain.

Be back tomorrow with more info... here is a link to the schedule if anyone missed it.

Robin I think that's a good plan...

Good morning folks, the sun is out... going up to 70 today. More rigs rolled in last night as you would expect. I think its going to be a long day but we will see. I see Stock is down to 60, anyone interested in getting in, Bill Hawk will be dropping out, so you may want to get in touch with him. We are still hoping for a noon gate opening, stay tuned, I will be back later.

Ken, is there a car quota for the baby gators? I thought it was a dictionary race without a quota? Will be coming tomorrow to take pictures Thursday and Friday.

No quota at the Baby Gators. Regular points meet criteria except the class run offs.

Hey guys, just a heads up... Bill Hawk had his spot filled for the Gators.

A few more photos of the stacking area, I did find one race car out... and its cool, or should I say race truck. I rough count of rigs, puts us around 160.

I kind of prefer no golf cart, no chef, no big screen... Nice looking Ranger, Ellis .

By the way the ad that popped up is for Miele kitchen stuff.... coincidence?

Hey guys I'm sorry for lack of reports. I'm on the road right now and I'll report tomorrow. I had some issues with the race car but I think I fixed them. Hey guys I see drag race central did not post winners.

Still on the road and I can't give you the last name because I'm driving.

Pete over Billy super stock. Jeff over Ron in stock. Sorry guys I'm talking and it's typing don't pick up the last names.
