Live from Atlanta's last National
 

We made the 4hr trip yesterday morning(in 6hrs) but we didn't have any vehicle trouble just a unplanned detour so all's good. Were here and in stacking and its a beautiful morning. Today is laundry day then? I think tomorrow Teresa an I will take a MC ride to Dawsonville (I was a Bill Elliott fan) and I like Chase event driving a brand XXX car. Going to ride some back roads and check out the country.

Good luck Robbie. You'll see a few of our D4 guys there for Super Street. Tony Jones, Dell Hall and Ray Dewdlbug Dew. Ya'll have fun.

Re: Live from Atlanta's last National
 

Regan thanks. I know Ray Dew we've been friends a while now. We made the trip to Dawsonville yesterday not a bad ride glad we made it. Dawsonville is a small town we stopped in at the pool hall and had a hamburger what a cool place. The Georgia Racing Hall of Fame is in Dawsonville also that was neat. We go to all these different places to race you really need to get out to check out the area. There's a lot of cool stuff on the road. Here's some photo's from the trip.

Hey Robbie, Always enjoy your stories & photos while on the road! I've purchased a coach for this year and my wife is joining me in retirement, planning on doing some exploring, I"ll have to check with you for the hot spots, who knows maybe
you'll let us tag behind behind sometime! Good luck this weekend, see you when you head north! Dave 106 S/ST, S/G

Re: Live from Atlanta's last National
 

That is a cool little day trip Robbie. Good luck this weekend

Re: Live from Atlanta's last National
 

Robbie we used the Waze app on my Daughters phone and a Bluetooth speaker to and from the track. I'm good at finding my way around but that thing helped us for sure. I don't even know where we went through but we took a tour to avoid traffic on I85. It was actually a nice drive. So many beautiful old homes and small towns. It was pretty neat.

Re: Live from Atlanta's last National
 

Thanks guys. Regan yea a friend had told me about Wazes and I put in on my phone I just started playing with it. It's a little different then I'm use too but I'm going to try it going to Myrtle Beach. Dave come on out and joint the fun. We only get a short time to get out here and see the sights. Well we took another day trip yesterday this time we went to Fred Symme's Chapel on the mountain. What a beautiful and special place. It's located in Cleveland SC on the side on a mountain. Photos don't do it justice.

Re: Live from Atlanta's last National
 

I think Scott Macki posted some pics today on Facebook of the condos being built right at the beginning part of the property. Really is a shame

Re: Live from Atlanta's last National
 

Awesome day ride Robbie. The topography of SC is so diverse and love riding up in that area then catching the Blue Ridge Parkway on up the Shenandoah (not on weekends!). Some nice motorcycle campgrounds up that way too.

Hoping to make a day trip up there tomorrow, any idea if they sell tickets at the gate? I hope to make it out soon, but in the meantime I need a racing fix.

Re: Live from Atlanta's last National
 

JIm not sure about the tickets I'll see what I can find out. Your right about SC I'm use to the coastal area and it being flat. The mountain's sure can give you some beautiful views. You just have to get out there and look for them. Its going to be a busy day today the schedule starts at 9:00 with S/St running thru the normal rotation. We get 2 time runs and the 1st round.

Re: Live from Atlanta's last National
 

That’s ok Robbie, can’t make it up there anyway but will definitely be cheering for you! Thanks for the great pics.

Re: Live from Atlanta's last National
 

Jim, has NHRA done away with live timing at national events?

Re: Live from Atlanta's last National
 

Jimmy I’ve been able to navigate to the results page and find “Live Timing” on the drop down menu but it won’t load for me...will try again later. Hopefully not just a ploy to get you to subscribe to NHRA.TV.

Look forward to seeing your newest Vette.

Re: Live from Atlanta's last National
 

How was Time Trials ?

Re: Live from Atlanta's last National
 

Jake time runs went well and I had a plan for the race. I was not going to be slow again and it almost worked. I ended up having to run Kevin MacNicol. My last time run I was 009 red and 10.858 so I sped it up 2 numbers and put 18 numbers in the delay box. The race ended up with me 022 he's 015 I go 10.891 dumping it back to him he's 10.896 for the win. So that's how my race went, I had a plan and stuck to it I just needed a little more brake power. We'll be sticking around to cheer on friends but we'll be pulling out either today or tomorrow morning then it's back to the real world. Even though we didn't have much luck racing it's been fun and good to see my racing family again. We'll see you at Maple Grove.

Re: Live from Atlanta's last National
 

Thanks guys! I am trying my best

Re: Live from Atlanta's last National
 

Just a heads up if anyone’s interested they came by and did an interview about the car and my new tow vehicle it is supposed to be on their Facebook series attention in the pits so look for it in the next few weeks

Re: Live from Atlanta's last National
 

So cool you get to be on a Attention in the Pits segment !

Re: Live from Atlanta's last National
 

Well the Last National at Atlanta is over. Congrats to the winners and RUs in S/St Tony Jones over Keith Mayer's in SG Luke Bogacki over Jonathan Anderson in SC Chuck Trotter over Kent Hanley. I've got to give Chuck Trotter an extra congrats on his SC win in a door car. Congratulation.

Re: Live from Atlanta's last National
 

When's your next race Robbie ?

Re: Live from Atlanta's last National
 

Jake my plan was Maple Grove and possible the .90 race the weekend before. But as bad as I stunk up my southern tour I'm not sure. Got to do a little fishing and get my head right. Its just good to be back home around our family.

Re: Live from Atlanta's last National
 

Come on Robbie ... come up a week early and play with us Mid Atlantic .90 guys/girls, you know what they say about getting back on the horse, it's a good excuse for a tune up for the Divisional not to mention that the payouts and special awards can't be beat, along with our world famous camaraderie and pig roast all in honor of Dave Stine! The invitation goes out to all .90, Top Sportsman/Dragster drivers!
