Re: "Live" from Charlotte 2017
Good to have you back Ms Patsy! Us working folks will arrive later in the week. Now that I have one in school it really gets difficult, I plan to leave Thursday after she gets out of school so should arrive around 7. As I am accustomed to doing I will park myself on the back forty behind the dirt track but hey I don't have to rush to tech anymore just the registration trailer. See you all Friday!

Re: "Live" from Charlotte 2017
Great news, glad to see you guys back on the road. The stacking area is open. Some spots are a little muddy, but for the most part the stacking area is okay. The local weather said we had almost 4 inches of rain that was much needed. The rain has finally stopped, the rest of the week looks good, mid 80's and sunny.
Parking is supposed to start Thursday morning, but the security personnel told me they may bring us in on Wednesday. There are about 10 rigs here now. Many rigs are still in the camp grounds in the area. |

Re: "Live" from Charlotte 2017
Well we were about an hour away when I read here that they stopped stacking so we are now in the pro holding lot. I guess we have to go over there to the sportsman lot after 7 in the morning. There are quite a few sportsmen here where we are! So until tomorrow !!

We are parked in stacking!! We stayed in the Pro stacking last night next to the noisiest generator ever which ran all night. (Even noisier than yours, Jeff!). We don't know if we will get to park today or not. We will be ready whenever they say GO!
