Default "Live From" Bristol Dragway... Thunder Valley Nationals

Hey guys, we are live from Bristol Dragway. I wanted to hit the road early so we got here yesterday. I see we are down to 40 in Stock and 39 Super Stock. Saturday does not look good, but if you have ever raced here, you know the weather is not very predictable, so you never know.

I'll be back tomorrow, with part 2 getting parked and riding through the pits.

another thing the government did, take away our freedom to wear a seatbelt or not. It should be our choice. I feel the same way with helmets on motorcycles. It should be your choice. Flame away.

Just be careful here, Keith. This post could venture into politics real quick.
For most of you who never seem to venture into the Lounge section, political discussion is expressly forbidden anywhere on this forum ;-)

Do people a favor and tell them not to set up near the creek. If it rains hard the water will rise into their trailers and motorhomes.

Considering the number of "muppets" Ken comes across (notice I didn't say "runs into") , I disagree.

Good morning all, and its looking like a good day for racing as the weather looks good for most of the day. Tomorrow, well who knows... one day at a time. Stock is out first at 8AM... the schedule is a little different than usual. Super Stock will not follow Super Comp. Super Stock will run later, after Top Sportsman.

Here is a link to the schedule....

Weather numbers as of 7:10...
Temp 63
Humid 96%
