Live from Belle Rose!
 

We will be there in a couple of hours. Boy is it a long way straight south! Just crossed into LA and we have driven 500 miles already. We left yesterday morning and stopped and looked at motorhomes on the way. Stayed at a nice Walmart parking lot in Brookhaven, MS last night. Now if that truck driver hadn't parked right next to us and thrown on his jake brake at midnight, I would have gotten more sleep last night. But we got him back this morning when Larry cranked up the air compressor right by his window!! The whole parking lot was empty and he parked 4 feet away from our bedroom window. Oh well!!

We are really looking forward to our favorite race of the year. Planning on running Top Stock tomorrow with the old Private Lee. We will give you more info after we get there.

We have plenty of wine, vodka, and beer, so come on over!

Got here about 11 and boy was it hot and muggy! Then it rained for a while and then the sun came back out and it was hot and muggy again. Now it has cooled off and clouded up and started to sprinkle and the wind is up, whipping the awning pretty good.

We have been down talking to Mike and Paula Cotten, Greg Hill and Al Corda. Also saw Jimmy and Debbie Bridges , Richard Carter, Sammy Pizzalato, Marlene Nelson, and Jim Wahl.

We will go out again when the weather lets up and give you another report. Trucks, motorhomes and trailers are continuously pulling in.

Dick, I will try to keep you up on Top Stock. I don't know if DRC will be here tomorrow reporting or not.

More later.

Great, where do you find the card games at this track anyway?

Re: Live from Belle Rose!
 

I don't know anything about card games. I love to play tho so if you find out, let me know. We have been over to Greg Hill's drinking so if this is mis-spelled it is his fault. He made Larry a Bloody Mary after 3 Absolute on the rocks. And of course, he didn't have any wine, so when I came back to the motorhome for a wine re-fill I fell into the motorhome. Oh well, skinned knees will heal. More people pulling in, but it is really wet in the pits. But Pat Joffrion had the foresight to put gravel down in the pits so all is well. He has been down for a coors light this afternoon. We are parked next to Ken Howell and have already been into ;a big politcal discussion this afternoon. But isn't it great-- this is a free country and everyone is intitlted to their own opinion. As for our household-- Larry calls me a "Yellow Dog Democrat" ( I would vote for a democrat if it was a yellow dog running). But I have voted Republican in my lifetime. Anyway, we had some good discussions (especially after a couple of drinks.). .

More later!!

Greg, I think they might be busy....... she said so anyway !

Re: Live from Belle Rose!
 

Thanks for the report, Patsy. Will be looking forward to all the reports during the weekend. You're making me thirsty talking about all those refreshments. Good luck this weekend.

Here's a report for ya! Two words......It's Wet! Jim

Rumor has it that Richie Stevens Jr. is going to drive one of Larry Cummings Super stockers. That will be the first time for a full tree since he drove Jr Dragsters.
