If alcohol was not involved it is going to be a good story. I take that back it might even be funny with alcohol involved.

After stopping at the grocery store for sundries, we've made it to the holding lot. Keep your eyes out... They're using the south gate this year (where overflow Stockers were parked last year), 2nd entrance if you're coming in from 706 -710 direction like you're supposed to. Not well lit... Just now getting generator lights up and running.

There goes another light generator out to the road now.... That'll help!

Michael, what time do they get started tomorrow, and what is the run order?

Current: 50.4deg 71%, 29.98 baro, -408' DA. Course it'll be warmer and windier tomorrow. 1PM start I believe, think its ET, HR, STK, SR, QR, SS, etc... Schedule on www.ihra.com

Took the Turismo around the road course (behaving). Neat! Parked, teched, ready to work tomorrow!

Yes! The weather here in Florida has been killer since the front moved through. Should be great racing down there! Good luck Mike! Not that you need it! Jim

No ride yet. I've got a blank tech card, so if someone needs a SS shoe, just holler by Saturday morning! :-) Licensed to 9.00. We're pitted about 1200' on the road course side.

Overcast, humid, headwind just starting to come up, Baro up to 30.05!

Michael Beard · 01-28-2011, 01:12 PM

Got the new wheels and tires on the back (decided not to test n' tune at a national for once... I can back-to-back them some other time). Currently 62.7 deg, 41%, 30.01, 412 DA.

Will try to get pics later. Been busy cleanin', stickering up my car and Chip's car, getting tires mounted, etc. Out in no-man's land on the wrong side of the track with just John Boyer (J/CM) and Harry Morgan (HF/SA)... Saw Myron, Mayhew, and Jake Sealy briefly last night. Saw cars settin' out for Bertozzi, Manny Sousa (Borrowed Money)... Haven't seen much else. May be rolling in this morning? Can't see from over here.
