"Live" from Down South!!!

[Larry Hill]

We pulled out of the track this morning and moved down the road to the KOA in Starke, FL. We have a very nice pull thru spot, but we ended up pulling up and dropping the trailer in the front of the site and then pulled the motorhome behind the trailer so all the hookups would reach. So we have electricity, water, sewer, cable and wifi for a week until we go back to the track for the points race next week. They are supposed to start parking next Wednesday from 4-8 for the divisional race. We will park where we will stay all the way thru the Gatornationals. We are looking forward to a nice relaxing week. It is turning cooler and lots of rain, but that's ok. Maybe it will be over by the time we get to race again.


I have a few more pics from yesterday:

Patsy and Larry, Thanks for all the pictures of the folks in short sleeves. Going down to -15 to -20 again tonight. This is really getting old.

Thanks again, keep those pictures coming, we appreciate it.

Well we have been here at the KOA in Starke for a couple of days now. Yesterday was laundry day:

The trunk of our little POS was full of 2 weeks worth of dirty laundry! So we get to the Laundromat and use up every washing machine that wasn't out of order. 7, I think. Then the change machine was broken, so Larry had to go to the bank for a roll of quarters. $20 to do laundry! Sure is nice to have that nice laundry room at home!


It has been nice and quiet here, but it has rained off and on every since we have been here. Today we are going over to the track and check on some rigs and take in a movie! This retirement stuff is great!


Whenever you get a chance, go up to the Class Racer Magazine and catch the article on us! Ken did a great article. Thanks, Ken.

Patsy, know you miss your laundry room but always remember if you step outside it you're in the cold and snow. My aunt from Lone Oak spent a month with us culminating in a week long cruise and when I took her back last Sunday the weather was a shocker. Drive over Monteagle was beautiful but foggy but made it home safely before the latest storm came in. Know what you mean, this retirement stuff is 'rough' and catch American Sniper if you haven't already seen it. Oscars snubbed it but that's all the better, right?


And great article by Ken, he's right, you take a whole passel of folks with you on the road, including me. Thanks for all your efforts for keeping everyone in the racing loop.

Larry,

While in Starke go to a restaurant named Grannys on the main drag, it has a big brama bull in the front, it is a block north of the Shell station. Good breakfast and lunch and they are die hard sports fans, you know Fl, FSU Ga etc. Then try the Western Steer up the road for all you can eat country buffet, great fried chicken. Enjoy the place, your not far from the big city of Jacksonville.
