Re: "Live" from Galot Division 2 Divisional 2016
Someone said at some point it will be 1/4. To bad I live so far away looks like a awesome place.

Re: "Live" from Galot Division 2 Divisional 2016
I think the vast majority of NHRA racers prefer 1/4 mile. All other NHRA races are 1/4 mile. It's a nice facility from the pictures I've seen, but I think if it was 1/4 mile it would do much better. Also, there is also a national event in D1 and a points race in D3. I think all of this effected the car count.

Re: "Live" from Galot Division 2 Divisional 2016
Well if I didn't have bad luck I wouldn't have any at all! How many times have you heard that one? Definitely the case for me today, I managed to start heading that way this evening but got about 30 miles from home and wouldn't you know it my motorhome started acting up so I had to turn around and limp home.
Ok most might call it quits right here but not me I'm way too stupid for that. I now have the trailer hooked to my truck and will head out in the morning. See you then, maybe.....

Re: "Live" from Galot Division 2 Divisional 2016
Having raced there many times 20 years ago, it is hard to believe how nice the pictures look. Completely different track. I hope to stop and see it next time I go see the inlaws.
Getting the NHRA racers to go 1/8th mile racing will take some work. Lot of work... Comment that the turnout is about normal for an IHRA race looks a little off to me. Div. 9 IHRA race pulls lot more cars than what is showing there so far... unless I have really mis-read the sheets lately. Good luck to all, be safe, have fun. Ken Stock 412 |

Galot has everything in place to be a bucket list venue in the not to distant future. It was hot yesterday,90 plus, but the track hooked for me.

Re: "Live" from Galot Division 2 Divisional 2016
Well it is another beautiful day here in North Carolina! We all get one run today then start running eliminations! A few more cars have come in overnight so they are getting teched and ready to go. I believe the plan is to run the race all today because of the bad weather coming tomorrow afternoon.
More later. Patsy |
