"Live From" DeWalt NHRA Carolina Nationals

Ken Miele · 09-16-2021, 08:36 AM

Hey guys, we made it in last night to the DeWalt NHRA Carolina Nationals and are in the stacking area. It has rained all night. Its been a light rain for most of the night and its still damp with a ongoing mist. Last week at Maple Grove the race went well, and I hope the same happens here.

The weather does not looks as good so it will be a challenge for sure. Although the car counts are low here, there are 7 sportsman classes competing along with both alcohol classes and pro mod, and of course the 4 pro classes in a 3 day race.... oops almost for got nostalgia pro stock.

Parking was supposed to start at 8am, and as I type this, no one has moved into the track.

More later...

Well Ken beat me to it ! We are #74 in line! It is a little before 9 and looks like about a third of the rigs have moved out. We heard at Indy that sportsman were all going to be parked on the gravel side. Just waiting to see how it all turns out.

Parking is going well. On a humorous note one of the race teams left in such a hurry that they left there pit bike in the middle of stacking area, all alone.

Patsy,
Please verify where you are parked. Would like to stop by and say hi.
Butch.

Hey Patsy, I forgot you guys were here, I would have been more than happy for you to start the thread. You are correct, Stock and Super Stock are on the gravel side. They want pairing of the cars to go smoother than in the past with cars on both sides.

See you guys this afternoon!

Yo Ken,
Should be plenty of room on the paved side with the low car count. Agree a little on matching up if you had 100+ S/SS. Oh well. See y’all Friday. Might be easier to find you.
Butch.

Butch, I'm parked at the end of the stands on the gravel side of the track. I'm parked near the Fletcher's.

Larry Hill · 09-16-2021, 01:22 PM

Butch,
We are parked behind the grandstands where Pro Mod usually parks. About halfway down! Come on by to see us!

Not many cars out today... but I did find a few. Our start time for tomorrow is 9am with Stock.
