We are parked by my good friend Ashton Hudson. Some of you are aware that I have a bad back. I had 4 surgeries and I have an outpatient procedure waiting for me Monday when I get back. I already am feeling the pain today so tomorrow will be a bi$&h. We don't have a golf cart so I went and asked how much to rent one for the weekend. 675.00 the world revolves around greed now. So anyway I will be walking everywhere. Tomorrow Stock is first out. SS gets 3 then into class. Weather is suppose to be great tomorrow. More later......

Ed I am a pit Snob now that i hit the big 70 if I go to a race and am pitted in a spot I don't like I will ask for my money back and leave there is always another race, I am not going to pit in Dirt or a hilly spot ,

What was the famous quote from a few years back about the Houston pits, AKA The Serve-Pro Nationals? Was it "This is just one big bucket of ........."?

"This is all a big bag of F****." That phrase was coined by a well known D-1 racer.

Don you might want to avoid Rockingham as well unless you plan to be one of the first 50 or so in the gate!
