"Live" from Atlanta 2015

Larry Hill · 05-13-2015, 09:30 PM

We are here and parked. We left home this morning about 6:15 and rolled in here about 3:30 this afternoon. We are all set up and ready for a great weekend of racing. I think there are only 48 cars entered for this race in stock and 42 or so in Super stock. We both run Class!

We enjoyed cocktails this afternoon with Alice and Joe Tysinger, Jim Marshall, Gene Jordan, and Willie. Then we had a good dinner at Longhorn Steakhouse with Willie, Wallace, Alice and Joe.

There are a few rigs stacked outside tonight. We begin parking and tech and 8 in the morning. Today was a bright sunny day. Right now the probability of rain is 40% for Friday, 20% for Sat. and 50% for Sunday. But that will change a bunch by that time, I'm sure!!

More tomorrow!!

It is a gorgeous day here in Commerce, GA. Rigs are pulling in and parking and tech is going on! More later!

My son and I will be there at 8 AM to enjoy the festivities. Looking forward to meeting a lot of folks from ClassRacer.com. Especially anyone running Pontiacs. I will be sure to search out Larry Hill and thank him for his "Live from..." reports.

Well today has been a nice relaxing day! I cleaned up the motorhome and Larry waxed the racecar! Just been seeing folks we haven't seen in a while and getting caught up on all the gossip!!

I haven't taken any racecar pictures yet, but I will try to tomorrow. Here are a few candid shots:

Dinner last night at Longhorn with Alice and Joe Tysinger, Willie Evans, and Wallace Johnson.

Jim Marshall tonight after his chair broke! (But he didn't spill a drop of beer!)

Cocktail hour with Joe and Alice

Shrimp boil tonight at the Hidalgos!!

Parking with those Louisiana guys has its advantages!

We start out bright and early at 8:30 with qualifying # 1 of stock. We are supposed to get 2 runs, then class!

More later!

Well it is looking pretty good for racing today. Only 20% chance of a stray thunderstorm this afternoon . It is overcast now and 65 going up to 81 later in the day. They should be calling stock soon!

Larry Hill · 05-15-2015, 09:37 AM

43 cars made the first run. Lots of 1000' runs. Jimmy Hidalgo did not have a good run. A couple of classes up wrong.

Larry Hill · 05-15-2015, 11:57 AM

47 cars after 2nd run. 6 A/SA cars!

Class is next!

After the long cleanup in super gas, they have now eliminated the 3rd run for super gas, super comp, top dragster, and top sportsmen.

Won 1st round of class! Have bye to final!
