Thanks for the notes and pictures.
Donna and I love traveling like you are. Stop in small towns and visit the town squares.....antiques and visiting......then find the local cafe with the most pick up trucks.....guaranteed, the best chicken fried steak around. Yumm

As always, the best places to eat is where the old fat people eat. The parking lot usually has big sedans with maybe a fender or two with a scratch or two

Of course I’ll be following along and rooting for you and Patsy. Curious that NHRA hasn’t as yet posted the detailed run schedule that usually is out on Tuesday. Perhaps because of the rain they’ve had in the past few weeks? Sure hope that’s not the case, sportsman racers always bear the brunt of schedule changes.

We dont have to worry about rain at Dallas....the great Dust Bowl is always there along with the rocks. I am sure Patsy will have a picture of it.

Positive: no one is getting stuck in the mud!

This is my home track, sinuses will be messed up from the dust!

They have the schedule up now:

good luck to you guys in Class.


Thought news said they had a bunch of flooding in the Dallas area, fake news?

We started parking about 7:20 this morning! As Austin said, there are lots of rocks and dust! But if it rains on Sat and Sun like it is calling for, we won’t get stuck!! We have not been here since the Super Collider fiasco some 20 years ago! It doesn’t look like much has changed except where there was grass it is now rock! Also found some sand spurs and little bitty sharp rocks that stuck in my shoes! I sure hope those rocks don’t find their way into the race car tires!

We start out with Stock at 9 in the morning with Q1, then Class!!

We went to Babe’s Chicken in Cedar Hill tonight and boy was it good!! It was about 30 minutes from the track but well worth the drive. Thanks everyone for recommending it!!
