Please take political comments someplace else-this thread is about the Hill's Southwestern Swing. That goes for Hampton's comment and your comment as well, even though they are from very different perspectives.

:):):) Absolutely great pictures from your trip, Larry and Patsy. A chance to see a part of the U.S. that I haven't seen in way too many years. It's almost like being there with you. Good luck to all in Vegas, both in town (slots?) and on the track.

Hey guys!

This morning I went outside at 6:45 and all the trucks were running with lights on ready for the "land rush". Then a truck comes in at 7, blows its horn and the race is on. We went from being about #8 in line to about #40. I don't know where some of these people came from. Just all of a sudden they were there. Now we are sitting in line waiting to park. More later.

Isnt it a shame some still try to take advantage and Break in line. Sad comment on behavior and selfish nature. The Number on the windshield helped that but cant when you arent even in the track yet....
I remember many times arriving early to "get a good spot". Then the time I had to just take the only remaining piece of dirt to park and told my family " I can win it from here". They laughed but I got Runner up in SS .
Have a good time Larry and Patsy, Thanks for the photos.

You should have shot their tires out ! Its the "Wild West" isnt it ?

Re: "Live" from our Southwestern Swing
 

Well we are inside parked and teched. Everything going very smoothly. There are lots of people out in the line waiting to get parked. They have people out on the street directing you where to go now so there shouldn't be any confusion as to where to go. It was like the "Wild West" this morning! Everyone there knew who was there before them, so you think they would be civilized and go in an orderly manner, but that sure wasn't the case. The guy that was behind us didn't even want to let me behind Larry with my rental car! Oh well we are in now and Red parked us in a nice spot with lots of other stock and super-stockers, so let's have a wonderful week and a half here and win this thing!!

Good Luck.....

Good luck, Larry and Patsy. You've got your work cut out for you, though, the McClanahans are on their way and the kid's on a rush. LOL.

Re: "Live" from our Southwestern Swing
 

Thanks for all the good luck wishes!

I tried driving around on my golf cart to kinda get the lay of the land, and I have had to be towed back twice. It just quits running. Larry thinks it may be the ignition switch. At least I know what to jiggle if it stops again!

Talk about WINDY! Hopefully it just for today, but it sure is bad. I had my lawn chairs out and one of them almost blew into Mike Cotten's car. It hit their dog Macy, but she's ok.

The high today is 68 and in the morning for 1st round of qualifying, it is supposed to be 48 degrees, then warmer the rest of the week.

Las Vegas is almost always windy. I have found it a very difficult place to dial. I will be watching everyone on live timing in the morning.
