Jackson Pro Am
 

Has anyone heard the plan with the not so good weather forecast? Would really like to come but unless the forecast has a turnaround it doesn't look good.

Re: Jackson Pro Am
 

I was going but I'm just a couple of days short of finishing the car.
Arthritus in my thumb has been real bad. Can't get more than an hour of work done till it stops me. I'll try to make the Darlington race if weather permits.

Re: Jackson Pro Am
 

I dunno. Hopefully IHRA will make a decision soon. It's between 40% and 60% chance of rain each day. I wanna race!!!! Jim

I spoke to div 2 director today, he informed me that they are going to make an announcement tomorrow afternoon whether to hold the event or postpone it. IHRA is also running out of weekends to hold the pro ams fast.

Re: Jackson Pro Am
 

Anyone know of any good campgrounds up there that we could stay at after the Jackson race and before Darlington? Jim

Re: Jackson Pro Am
 

Richard i would call Darlington dragway and talk to the owner he is a nice guy I'm sure he wouldn't have a problem with you leaving your rig their...

And to Jim I don't know about camping down their close to darlington but we have some nice ones up here close to the NC zoo it's only about an 1 45 mins from the track

Re: Jackson Pro Am
 

another great call by the Miles family. Those folks are truly looking out for the racers.

Re: Jackson Pro Am
 

I agree but 10 forecast doesn't look much better for next Saturday.

Re: Jackson Pro Am
 

Emily just an FYI, Cameron wanted to call it on Thursday at Farmington but were told they couldn't and were made to open and attempt it.

Re: Jackson Pro Am
 

Weather is looking a lot better, hopefully it'll keep getting better so there can be a good turnout.:)

Re: Jackson Pro Am
 

Weather is looking better. And I've got the car making noise. I'll probably be there.
Also will the T&T on Friday be 1/4 mile? I might go Thursday night if the T&T on the 1/4 mile. I tried to call got a recording.

Art ,you can facebook Jeff Miles.. ( if you do facebook)

Re: Jackson Pro Am
 

Thanks Danny. I emailed them and they answered quickly.
The test & tune on Friday will be 1/4 mile (if you want). I need to make some tuning changes for the quarter mile stuff. I can't do it in the 1/8 mile do to less load on the motor. After I'm in high gear (around the eight mile mark) the load is stable and I can tune it.
Just made my hotel reservations in Augusta.

Re: Jackson Pro Am
 

See you there and good luck

Re: Jackson Pro Am
 

Yes Herbie I know they wanted to cancel and I personally thanked Amanda for all they tried to do to make it happen. Problem is they are getting bad name based on the last 2yrs at that track when both times it was Satch making poor decisions.

I only wanted people to support the Miles family because they are truly trying to help us out too. Difference is they are dealing with another tech director.

Re: Jackson Pro Am
 

I understood that Frank was going to be there this year as he was last year. Am I incorrect? I am planning to be there Friday AM. Jim

Re: Jackson Pro Am
