"Live" from our Southwestern Swing

Larry Hill · 10-26-2011, 02:01 PM

Well we are inside parked and teched. Everything going very smoothly. There are lots of people out in the line waiting to get parked. They have people out on the street directing you where to go now so there shouldn't be any confusion as to where to go. It was like the "Wild West" this morning! Everyone there knew who was there before them, so you think they would be civilized and go in an orderly manner, but that sure wasn't the case. The guy that was behind us didn't even want to let me behind Larry with my rental car! Oh well we are in now and Red parked us in a nice spot with lots of other stock and super-stockers, so let's have a wonderful week and a half here and win this thing!!

Good luck, Larry and Patsy. You've got your work cut out for you, though, the McClanahans are on their way and the kid's on a rush. LOL.

Thanks for all the good luck wishes!

I tried driving around on my golf cart to kinda get the lay of the land, and I have had to be towed back twice. It just quits running. Larry thinks it may be the ignition switch. At least I know what to jiggle if it stops again!

Talk about WINDY! Hopefully it just for today, but it sure is bad. I had my lawn chairs out and one of them almost blew into Mike Cotten's car. It hit their dog Macy, but she's ok.

The high today is 68 and in the morning for 1st round of qualifying, it is supposed to be 48 degrees, then warmer the rest of the week.

Las Vegas is almost always windy. I have found it a very difficult place to dial. I will be watching everyone on live timing in the morning.

Looks like a 10-15 MPH head wind tomorrow, coming from NNE. At least that is predictable where a NNW wind is not, once you get past the stands, IMO. Correction. I now see that the wind will only be 5-10 MPH.
