"Live" from Charlotte O'Reilly Nationals

Larry Hill · 09-12-2012, 08:12 PM

Here are some more pics from today. These were taken by Vic:

Gene Jordan, Larry, and Pam Marshall (tailgating on the big truck)

Here they all are again and me, too. Hey, Paul--how about that Big Ten"?

Here is the tunnel that runs under the track!

The tower

Looks like people already sitting in the stands, doesn't it?

View from behind the starting line.

These are some more pics that I took today. Here are the Goodyear guys hard at work! Look at the lettering on the tire!

Here's Jim Roberts, Pam and Jim Marshall

Pam and Jim again, and Gene Jordan

The pits are still pretty empty!

Here we are in our pit spot!

The tunnel is super handy Patsy...especially for those of us that get put on the "other side". I do think my little BMW coupe might just fit in that tunnel lane just fine!

And the grandstands are marketing genius...yes they always look full!

I'll be there sometime tomorrow late afternoon!

You getting bored yet?

Leaving on a Friday for a race that starts NEXT Friday is being prepared.

Racing is never boring!!! There is always something to do! Drinking with good friends in the evening keeps everything fun!

Well it is another gorgeous day here in Charlotte! We have tech from
8-5.

See ya this afternoon, Brett and Caleb. Ya'll drive careful now!

Thanks for taking the time to post all the great pictures!

Larry Hill · 09-14-2012, 07:06 AM

you are welcome, David!

It looks like it is going to be another beautiful day here in Charlotte. Right now it is only 58 degrees and we run in an hour. Stock has 2 runs this morning, then into class. B/SA should have 5 or 6 cars, I think. I guess we will all know for sure after that first run. It is going to be a busy day, so more later.
