It was just too bad Atlanta had a points race scheduled at the same time. Track operators really need to work a little closer with each other as it relates to scheduling. You know there would have been many racers who would have loved to race both events. The Division Three tech guys were heads on their game regarding their meticulous inspection of our car. I met some Quick Fuel guys who were very helpful, which made the trip even more enjoyable!

John, it was a lot of fun watching you this weekend. That car is impressive. Congratulations on the record.
That Bowling Green race has been on that weekend for decades, it's sort of a tradition. I have no idea what possessed the Division 2 people to schedule Atlanta on that weekend. Must be the same reason they moved the Bristol national event to June, in the heat and horrific air, and on top of the traditional Hot Rod Reunion weekend, again at Bowling Green. Bristol should be back in April, or May at the latest.
The truth is, Atlanta LODRS should be on a different weekend, and Bristol should get an LODRS in the fall. Bristol is a much nicer track, and if they didn't schedule it against something else in the fall, Bristol would be swamped with entries, with nice weather and beautiful scenery around a great facility.
While they're at it, they need to put Reynolds back on the 3rd weekend in October. If for no other reason than the fruit stand is closed on the 2nd weekend, and that was one of the great things about Reynolds for years.
