"Live" from Belle Rose

Larry Hill · 03-18-2009, 06:54 AM

Well, it is a little after 7 am and we are back on the road headed to Louisiana. We left yesterday around 5 and drove to a nice Walmart in Batesville, MS (where they make caskets). Got parked in time to see Kentucky Wildcats beat UNLV in the opening round of the NIT. But I won't go on any more about KY basketball. First time we have not been in the NCAA in 18 years. Now we will also be pulling for our other KY teams: #1 Louisville, Morehead State, and Western KY.

Anyway, it is a beautiful day, but a little foggy right now. Should be gone before long. Jerry Newsome is a little behind us this morning. It is really good to see him back out and running. Jerry Bennett and George Widuch were leaving a little later today, too.

I will give you another report after we get there. It is about 600 miles total for us, so we should be there by mid afternoon.

More later.

Good to have you back on the reporting trail!! I have missed you guys! I will be in Vegas for the Mopar deal this weekend with my old friend Rudy Schings, but will have my laptop on following the action!
thanks in advance!

For those of us who aren't there or going it's great to see you guys out and Patty keep the updates and pictures coming if & when you can.

Well we are here and parked in the little area behind the scales where Stock usuallly parks. Best spot we have ever had here. So far have seen Painter Stevenson, Hugh Meeks, Jimmy Parker & Sandra, Craig Couris, Jerry Newsome.

Talked to Pat Joffrion. We are going to have a contest to see how many miles he has put on his scooter from Monday thru Sunday. Ya'll guess and I will let you know Sunday night.

Well we are going out and cool off.

If you are here, come by. If not, I will try to keep you up on what is going on!

Mrs. Patsy,
I would have to agree that Mr. Pat's motorcycle will have quite a few miles on it by the end of the week. I have an exam tomorrow, but I should be at the track around 1:30. See you guys tomorrow!

Bob Pagano · 03-18-2009, 06:35 PM

Track must be empty only about 140 some cars on entry list. The country is in sad shape.

Patsy ~ I always enjoy your "live" posts but especially from this race. It's such a fun race and track. Best wishes this weekend.

Good luck this weekend! I'm loaded-up & ready to go to Farmington,NC for the IHRA race. C-ya @ INDY.

Hey Bob,
Only 140 cars are pre-registered. The SPORTSnationals is the only race I know of that you don't have to pre-register for nationally. You can just drive on through and pay for your tech card at the gate.
