Live from Galot Division LODRS 2-3
Well in true fashion I am not there yet which to anyone who knows how I roll will not be surprised. I just found out yesterday that Ms Patsy will not be here this weekend so it looks like I'm on my own so I thought I would get started early on this. I am locked and loaded but have some work to get done today so I can play tomorrow.
The weather looks to be absolutely gorgeous for this weekend with a chance of rain Sunday afternoon but since they plan to complete this race on Saturday it shouldn't be an issue. The schedule shows 3 qualifying runs for Friday and straight into 1st round of eliminations on Saturday morning. Today is test and tune with a clear Carolina blue sky! I may not drive over till in the morning since its not much more than a hour and half for me so if anyone wants to jump in and help feel free. |

Good Luck Racing James.
Thx for the reporting too. |
Re: Live from Galot Division LODRS 2-3
Hey, Cooter!!
I know you will do a fine job this weekend! I will be there to help out at Charlotte and Atlanta in a couple of weeks!! Good luck!! Patsy |
Re: Live from Galot Division LODRS 2-3
I won't be there till tomorrow mid morning but I'll bring my computer and try to get some pics up this weekend.

Re: Live from Galot Division LODRS 2-3
Thanks Pete, going to miss you guys this weekend Ms Patsy and I won't be much help at Charlotte since normally I have lots of family there as you know. Todd that would be great if you could pitch in, typically the car count has not been very good so this race moves along rather quickly not leaving much time for reporting.

Re: Live from Galot Division LODRS 2-3
Cooter, just an FYI that they having big dollar race at Carolina Dragway so some of the double duty racers will be over there. And of course some are reluctant to run 1/8 mile...shame since by all reports (including Ms Patsy) it is a great facility. Good luck and thanks in advance for the live reports.

Agree TR, this place is packed!

Re: Live from Galot Division LODRS 2-3
Thanks guys, that is definitely good to hear! Jim, this place is spectacular. They have built a first class facility here and I don't think he is finished yet. I know some guys who tow a couple hours to run the bracket program here and I hope the LODRS races continue to see improving numbers to make it worth his effort to keep it here. Its been a long day for me trying to get all my chores done so I can go racing, I will have more in the a.m.

Re: Live from Galot Division LODRS 2-3
Galot has absolutely had a great deal of money invested in making this a first class facility. Track surface has underneath the concrete, coils to heat the track when cold outdoors and cool the track when it's real hot outside to improve traction. Rest rooms have A/C. Scales are in their own covered Drive-through building and are the latest digital setup. The grand stands are former Daytona Raceway seating with all having seat backs,no flimsy bleachers. I understand that if the owner someday acquires the land at the far end he intends on extending the track to 1/4 mile.

Re: Live from Galot Division LODRS 2-3
Its a First class place, enjoy.

Re: Live from Galot Division LODRS 2-3
Hopefully someone will provide a number of SS/Stock entries on this tread today.
Thanks, |
Re: Live from Galot Division LODRS 2-3
Butch I will be posting sheets today, right now we are on hold for a timing clock issue. I guess money doesn't protect you from everything lol. There will be a stiff headwind today.
|
Re: Live from Galot Division LODRS 2-3
We are done with 1st run and SS is running now. There were a couple breaks so it took a little while to get through. Things are running better now it seems, I'll be back shortly with some sheets.

Re: Live from Galot Division LODRS 2-3
Looks like a Nice Place.

Re: Live from Galot Division LODRS 2-3
Last time I was there, when you pulled onto the track from the staging lanes, you had to back into the water box. The wall behind the water box was only a few feet from the road that leads to the track. It was IHRA back then, and a lot of the Quick Rod (Super Comp in the NHRA) cars would bounce their slicks off the wall when backing up behind the water box!
I would really like to go there now. It looks like they changed everything for the better! It now looks like a completely different facility! Top notch all the way! |

Re: Live from Galot Division LODRS 2-3
If Randy Parker is running Johnny Fisher’s old Mirada then a potential heads up with Marshall would be entertaining to watch....
Great to see such a good turnout, thanks for posting the sheets. |

Re: Live from Galot Division LODRS 2-3
It turned out to be a very nice day but a bit windy with a cross/headwind that was up to 10 to 12 mph at times. Tomorrow looks to be more of the same and we start with Chapel service at 8:30 inside the trackside cafe.

Re: Live from Galot Division LODRS 2-3
Mr Marshall has a fast car for sure, but we would give it our best!

Re: Live from Galot Division LODRS 2-3
Got a new phone and still learning it but it has super slo-mo, it's very cool. Got these with it today here at GALOT.

Re: Live from Galot Division LODRS 2-3
Cooter - Thanks for the pics and reports. Great looking facility and looks like a pretty good turnout. It doesn't appear that eighth mile racing kept anyone away. (and don't sell that Mirada short!)
|
Re: Live from Galot Division LODRS 2-3
Turnout is amazing, I heard 200 cars last year and 300 this year!

Re: Live from Galot Division LODRS 2-3
Hey guys just wanted to say I meant no disrespect to Mr Parker, I've been around seeing that car for many years so I know its a bad fast ride also.
Last few pictures I've got for tonight are not very good but worth sharing, these are all from the Stephenson Family racing compound. http://i1252.photobucket.com/albums/...psn0uojfle.jpg Marion B/SA http://i1252.photobucket.com/albums/...psfn0mdwv7.jpg Marion GT/HA http://i1252.photobucket.com/albums/...psahonexlh.jpg Nicole GT/JA |

Re: Live from Galot Division LODRS 2-3
I got past 1st round this morning but they don't have a sheet out for second round yet. SS just finished their 1st round and there has been some down time.
On another note I woke up sick this morning so my reporting may suffer a little today. I apologize in advance but I will do the best I can. As Ms Patsy would say, more later..... |
