Live from Immokalee IHRA PRO AM
 
Well we moved to our race weekend location, Thomas and crew have been very busy preparing the race track for the Pro Am. A lot goes in to getting ready for one of these events. A few more rigs have pulled in and I expect more to come this evening. The weather is shaping up and looks to be good for the race with only a slight chance of rain Saturday I believe so come on down.
Now this is a snake, you can't tell but this thing is 21ft 350lbs if wanted to eat you it could.

Another big snake, these photos we're taken at a road side tourist attractionhttp://i1305.photobucket.com/albums/...psnprcdw2x.jpg
The tour guide said the gators would not eat until April?? Good thing

WelI had a great first time run and ended up #1 qualifier and I got the 1st round by. They ran the1st round of HR and most of ST before the first rains came. The track dried and they continued with QR and some of TS then the rains came again. This may be the end of racing today we'll see. These photos where from yesterdays TNT.

Thanks Ray, it has been a ball but its time to move. We'll be heading to Bradenton today and must stay goodbye to Ralph & Thomas. I know you've heard it before but if you ever get a chance to come to Immokalee to race do it. The track is like going back in time, to a time when track managers knew how to treat the racer's. Ralph & Thomas go out of there way to make you feel at home and welcome at there races. We'll be back GOD willing.http://i1305.photobucket.com/albums/...psxpwcctyv.jpg
Our son Brian & his wife Tina flew down to spend some time in the sun, we had a great time with them
