No Norvell were not! LOL

Ed, sorry looks like you already are a "Live" Reporter!

Larry just talked to Jeff Teuton and asked him if he could get out, and he said "Yeah, I am in an official NO WAKE zone" LOL

Hopefully ya'll will get the race in and not have to come back again like they are at Indy!

Good luck!

Yep. Cancelled will not race this weekend.

Is it cancelled like it never happened or postponed to another date. Didn't they finish stock class?
How is this going to effect the national class performer thing?
With the forcast for Atlanta this week. Maybe we should just stay home?

Art. All they announced over the P A was that sportsman racing was cancelled for the weekend. We ran class and trophys were handed out.

Mr. Jeff made a valiant attempt to get out, but in the end required the big loader.
