Well we made the long drive (1/2 mile or so)from the RV park we've been staying at and as you can see it might rain. Hope the parking is good in the pits?

Well I guess being at the race track in the rain, is better then being home with 8 inches of snow.
LOL

Good luck this weekend Robbie

Thanks Cal it sure beats what you've have up there. Its been a rainy cold windy day here, but the rain has stopped (for now) we've been thru tech and looking around a little. It looks like everyone's park on asphalt, that's a good thing with all rain we had earlier. Here's a few photos.

Well the rain is gone but its still cool 45 and windy. I'm not sure what or when they expect to get down the track but there's a lot of cars here. Here's a cool car.

Yea, I have a thing for Fairlanes.

Well its 1:35 and they just called it for the day which in my opinion is the correct call. Tomorrow the gates open at 8 AM and we start at 9 with S/St.

Robbie, thanks for the great reporting and great pictures. You know that only Drag racer are such an optimistic bunch, No rain or foul weather will keep us down. Thanks. Claude Ruel

No problem Claude, when your a racer you have to be a optimist. Well the sun is shining and its going to be a beautiful day for a race. There's a ton of cars here so its also going to be a busy day. Here's a few travel shots from Jackson SC to Cecil GA.

Frank, not sure what town it was we took Rt 1 from Augusta all the way to Waycross then Rt 84 to Valdosta so it was on one of those. Well its turned out to be a beautiful day. My first past this morning was not a very good one. 049 10.86 spinning and missing down the track. A new set of plugs a delay box and t-stop adjustment and I felt a little better 031 10.889 but every thing changed the way they should of. We're done for the day and start eliminations tomorrow morning at 9am. Here's a few photos from today.
