Live from Norwalk!

We arrived in the Lender's Lot around 11:30 pm last night. There almost wasn't room to park! Lots of people here already. We left home yesterday and drove the 540 miles in less than 12 hours after 2 business stops on the way. We came up Route 13 thru Mansfield and if you come that way be sure and follow the truck route. We went in a circle after I told Larry to turn when we shouldn't have. It looks like there is still a detour on 250 but it is not very far out of the way. That still may be the best way although coming thru Mansfield is closer.

It looks like they are putting everyone in Lenders Lot first, but there is a big sign on the road that directs "Participants".

Well, we are up and ready to eat breakfast and get parked. They are supposed to start parking at 10.

I am looking forward to meeting some of you guys from Division 1. Come on over. We have the pink Cuda.

More later.

Patsy

BTW, AT&T phone service here is not very good, so reports may be few and far between, but I will do my best.

Well, we are only a couple of rows away from getting moved on in to park. I met Steve Welker and his wife Debbie this morning. I saw a picture of their son Matt's new SS/AH car. Really pretty. And it is a stick car. They are planning on running it in the hemi shootout at Indy. Lance Line is in the next row over. I think he is putting out a contract on Terry Nagel for telling him it was only 4 hours from Joliet to Norwalk. He said it was over 800 miles for him to here.

Well, more later.

Oh the weather is really nice. Bright and sunny and a little hot. I think it is supposed to be high 80's today.

Lance must have gone home to Minnesota. Norwalk is not 800 miles from Joliet
