Greg is going to Gainesville, I got younger brother Steven going with me but I assure you nobody around these parts likes Duke!

Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
 

Pat, we are in the cove right when you enter the rear gate against the road. You cant miss the rig. It's on the main road to the swamp.

Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
 

James, I haven't met you or the people you socialize with. But, I like the way you guys think. Go Heels!

Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
 

HR 9121, I know of your dislike for Duke.....just giving Greg Rowe a hard time. M.J.

Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
 

Thanks Jeff. Do you know the gate number? Is it C-4? I'm going to try and come up Saturday to watch you guys win.. :) I know from experience how hard it is to get hold of somebody once I get there now that I don't have Scott so I like to have all the information I can going in.

Here are a couple of pictures from driving around the area the last few days:

Lunch with the Skillmans and crew! Bill is really a good cook. Shrimp, grouper and mahi-mahi, and mac and cheese!


It has been a really nice day. Possible rain and cooler tomorrow. More later!

Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
 

I see there's 4 Hemi cars registered for the Gators. if you get a chance ask if they are coming to the Hemi Chootout @ No Problem Raceway.... please

Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
 

The weather bureau is calling for 39 degrees Friday night for Gainesville, that's really cold for the area. I was planning on going and it's not the weather, but kidney stones are putting me on hold. I may have to withdraw from the Gator Nats if I'm not cleared from the doctor. I have a stent holding my kidney open right now and hopefully get that removed tomorrow. I really wanted to go to the LODRS race this weekend.

Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
 

Ok phew! You freaked me out for a second. There are actually 8 hemi cars currently registered for the Gators, there were 9 but Stephen Hebert had to back out for a conflicting date. I think they are using these races as a warm up for the "chootout".

Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
 

Yesterday was test and tune. Merc and Keener worked late into the night getting things sorted out. East coast Camaro broke ring and pinion. Perrone changed fuels. Rampy made a few hits. Skillman's crew was busy most of the day. It was transmission day at the Southland Dodge camp with an extra one from Mike Bryant. Art's group left Bowling Green a day early to miss the weather and arrived safely. The Country Dog, Cooter and J Allen are due to arrive this morning. Bo and crew are here up from Bradenton. None of the triplets have been seen here.


Weather now 53* 91% 30.04. D.A. -100'


I think we start at 10:00 am.

Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
 

What's the deal Dyno. Your trailer was red. Is that snow on it that just hasn't melted? Have fun, we test over here tomorrow. Phish

Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
 

We are running late today! It is cooler and misty today! Nothing is happening yet!

Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
 

Word I just got is Friday cancelled, two rounds of qualifying & time trials Saturday, all eliminations on Sunday.

Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
 

That's what Division 2 Facebook page says also.

Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
 

Anyone know what time they're going to start time trials Sat?

JimR

Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
 

9 am according to the schedule on Facebook.

Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
 

Well today was a total washout! It has been cool and misting all day. We went to Cedar River Seafood for lunch and enjoyed another great meal.

Lots more racers have come in today. Hidalgos, Perrone, Szupka, Skipper and more.

Hopefully we will be able to start on time at 9 in the morning.

Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
 

Larry, if you keep eating, you will move done a class for sure!

Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
 

Now 44* 90% 30.18 DA -1003" it might be fast!


Head chef "Bear" in the Country Dog camp served up La. catfish and fresh French fries, all fixed with that home cooked touch. Man was it good! Thanks Jimmy, Cooter, and Bear.

Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
 

Looks like you are in great shape for the rest of the weekend.

Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
 

The sun is finally shining again here "Down South"! It is up to 48 now and climbing. They should be calling super street up shortly, then Stock follows. Everyone gets 2 hits today with all eliminations to be run tomorrow. Sounds like a great plan! I will try to get some pics today since the racecars should be out of their boxes!!

Re: "Live" from Down South!!!
 

60 Stockers made the first run. Lots of 1000' runs. I think Kevin Helms may be #1 at 1.04 under. Not making good runs were Bill Skillman and Mickey Whaley. Jim Bailey got up so high he had to get out of it, so his time will not show well.
