We are here, parked and drinking adult beverages! Nitro Joe had us a great parking spot right at the head of staging. Anybody familiar with Columbus, we have Jegs parking spot! Still lots of great spots left! Come on down (or up or sideways)!

Re: LIVE from the Auto Meter Northern Class Nationals!
 

What a great event this is going to be!

I wish I could be there but I am grateful for all the coverage that will be available.

Good luck to everyone!

A bit too late to ask, but how about an audiocast? :)

Good luck to all, safe travels, and safe racing!

Thanks Ed, Bich and Wayne will be there somewhere. I wish I was there, hope everybody has fun. Tom

Re: LIVE from the Auto Meter Northern Class Nationals!
 

Well the sun is trying to peek thru here at the racetrack! It is still pretty quiet as I have not heard any race cars crank up yet. Larry is in the process of getting our stuff unloaded, so the Cuda may be the first we hear today. There is still lots of nice pavement open for parking today. We had some rain come thru last night about 10:30, but today is supposed to be good except maybe some sprinkles later in the evening. We plan to test during the session from 1-6 today.

Hope to see lots of people here later today or tomorrow!

Re: LIVE from the Auto Meter Northern Class Nationals!
 

I'll be there tonight, I'm waiting on UPS to deliver my new converter. Once that's installed I'm loading up and heading east. Look forward to seeing you guys!

Will Tech and fuel truck be open today?

Re: LIVE from the Auto Meter Northern Class Nationals!
 

Hey Mike,

Just wishing you good luck on this event. I know you've put your heart and sole into this deal since you first announced it over a year ago. You have gone above and beyond in every aspect. Wish I could be there to watch or even lend a hand but, Mr. Dave Ley and I will be pounding the asphalt at Atco this weekend with our associations.

You've done a heck of a job with this event and I hope the racers turn out in swarms to support it.

Re: LIVE from the Auto Meter Northern Class Nationals!
 

Yes sir

Re: LIVE from the Auto Meter Northern Class Nationals!
 

I wish I was going this weekend. I am really bummed that I don't get to go.
Just got the car ready just no time to test with all the snow we had this year. I won't miss it next year.

Re: LIVE from the Auto Meter Northern Class Nationals!
 

Found first screw up. My tire gauge didn't make the trip. I'll have to try to borrow one for the weekend

Re: LIVE from the Auto Meter Northern Class Nationals!
 

Here are a few pics from today. I don't remember names very well, so sorry if there isn't a name with a picture. I will try to get them right by the end of the weekend. If someone knows whose car it is, please identify for us! I met a bunch of people this morning for the first time--so welcome to Division 3! Here goes:

Thank you for all the hard work! Hope you have a great weather weekend for this event. I can only guess how much work goes into this.
Will be stuck in CA working, but want to wish my TX neighbors good luck!
Thank you to all the "live reporters" and other media coverage. Not the same as being there, but beats missing it all together...

Hope everyone enjoys the party!

Re: LIVE from the Auto Meter Northern Class Nationals!
 

My car is on the way thanks to Chuck and Tyler Bohannon. The driver is on the way from South Bend and I am coming in the morning. If this is confusing I had a motor home problem yesterday and had to be towed back to Louisville, thanks to Irvin Johns and Suburban Towing. Andrew's car is without a motor at present time so he is driving my car this weekend and I am going to be crew chief and spectator which is fine. See everyone tomorrow.

Re: LIVE from the Auto Meter Northern Class Nationals!
 

That would be right.

Re: LIVE from the Auto Meter Northern Class Nationals!
 

I will be joining you in that same position Greg. maybe you and I can enbibe in some adult beverages while we comiserate together?

Re: LIVE from the Auto Meter Northern Class Nationals!
 

We're trying to finish loading here in the rain right now. only one car but without my normal help things are going REALLY SLOW for Beth and Tony it didn't help that we had to unload a bunch of Tony's crap from the trailer leftover from our move when we sold the Lyons IL property Ed Fabien is on the way with the former Mark Tallent Mustang and Moneymaker/Kuntz 289 power under the hood loaded for bear in the SS/K shootout ;-)

Re: LIVE from the Auto Meter Northern Class Nationals!
 

Good to hear Morks Mustang will be out there.
Good luck with the race. I look forward to seeing all the results this weekend.
