Re: "Live" from our D-2 southern spring trip 2017
It is a beautiful day here in Gainesville for the Division 2 points race! Parking went pretty well after the initial screw ups and everyone today is just pulling straight in.
We went to Cedar River Seafood again for a great dinner last night, then to Country Foodly again for breakfast this morning. As usual good food. Test and tune starts here shortly from noon to 6 today and tomorrow. Radio station here is 90.3. I will try to get pictures later today. |

Like Patsy said, the weather is great Temps are in the low 80's. There are a few cars testing today. I would guess about a 100 are rigs here. They just trickle in a little at a time. No waiting when you get here.
I found a few cars out, I will try to get some more later. |

I love racing as much as you but I agree with Bernie how our members are treated by NHRA.You would think after over 60 years on putting on NHRA National Events they would know how to treat their cuctomers.KEEP ON KISSING THEIR ***.LOL

Re: "Live" from our D-2 southern spring trip 2017
well it is another gorgeous day here in FL! Yesterday it was cloudy most of the day but no rain. We ran test and tune and the car ran a little better than it did at Orlando, so I guess he got it fixed at the KOA machine shop!!
Testing starts again today from 12-6. Our fan motor is supposed to get here today, so hopefully that will work out well also. And I am a happy camper today as we move the motorhome around a bit this morning until the satellite picked up again! So now we can watch basketball and Fox News again!! The place is really filling up. I predict at least 80 stockers will be here for the divisional! More later!! |

I echo Patsy's sentiments. Another great day down here at Gainesvilles Raceway. Testing to day feels like qualifying, the lanes are always full. The temperature is in the low 80's with low humidity. The DA is about 2200ft.
I have two set of photos and a few videos I will up load later. they Just announced test will extend to 7pm. |
