Come on fellas "Promote" the good times and fun everyone is having. Make us want to be there if we were'nt working. Tell us about the 75-80 degree weather down there. Share the experience with those that are'nt out yet! I know there are folks on the grounds already....lies being told already...lies in a friendly, fun kinda way I mean. LOL. Good luck everyone and have a safe race. Most of all...enjoy yourself...your doing it right!

All right ,Wade here go's. We left Labelle Wednesday ,stayed in a camp ground after PBIR (Whisper Creek ,very nice). The weather has been great, in the 80s then cooling off at night (no generator required). There's about 40-50 rigs here now Im sure they'll come in today. Their was a local news reporter here yesterday to do a story on the race. He had Craig and a couple guys start their cars for shots. They're trying to get support to keep the track open. There's a link on another race site to write the county officials to help the track. We've been riding the bike every day doing the tourist things (airboat ride's, Billies swamps safari, etc.) I've seen more alligators along the roads than on the rides

I hope they have BIG fences around the entire track. Wouldn't want to roll out of the trailer in the morning (hung over) and see one of those gators by the door........lol.

Robbie, come on man...that thing looks fake. Go over and see if it's real! Hey, I told MB to look you up, and provide some "live from" tips. You guys need to team up and put up some good photos of all the fun. I'm suprised you did'nt sign up for Scotty's school. He can teach you how to tighten that stripe up a little! LOL

Well its day one of the Immokalee two day race. The weather has been great , we ran the TnT yesterday I took 3 shots at the track. Missed the tree 075 6.98, 010 7.01, -006 6.99 I'll take that. Rode the bike to Bonita Beach yesterday the gulf coast is nice. Wade the alligator was real and right on the side of the road.

Robbie, you should have gone over there and kicked him in his ***, and said...get back in the swamp where you belong. That's what Tommy D would have done....right Tommy! Anyway, sounds like your car is good to go....but then again I thought you quailified #1 last week? FOCUS!

Oh yea, Jimmy is missing you at the shop, he said he may have you cut your retirement race tour celebration short. Don't worry though...I'm gonna take care of it for ya! FOCUS!

Weak turn out.....VERY weak but I still congratulate all who made the trip. Good racers.....all of you who support the sport and IHRA. It was good to see you Robbie. Catch you later at MIR and/or VMP.

On the bright side, next year should provide an improvement in competitor count. Let's just hope IHRA gives you another chance!
