"Live From" 2022 Baby Gators / Gatornationals

NHRA was out early drying the track this morning. They were to the point of dragging and spraying the track when it started to rain, AGAIN! Racers are pulling out and NHRA will carry over the entry. Many pit areas are little lakes.

Getting a heavy blast of rain here at the track now. Once that passes it should start to improve. The front is passing through now. Keep your fingers crossed we get to run.

From the conversation via email I had with Mr. Jeffrey Young, your access will be granted for the weekend Ken. Someone through NHRA is to be letting you know soon!

Hope to have a good chat with Mr. Young next week. He has been very open to dialogue and this will give an opportunity to hear his side of why the access was removed.

Hey guys, I have to thank all of you. NHRA just contacted me and granted access for this race. I can only think that Class Racer members might have been responsible for getting me access again.

Thanks all.... oh and its still raining, no word on what they will do with the sportsman.

The rain stopped a couple of hours ago... tracking dry continues. No word on who or when we will be called.

They pulled the plug on any on track activity for today. They are having issues with rubber peeling up from the surface. Tomorrow will start at 8 am. One time or Q run then eliminations. Sun is out now. Time for a rum and Dr Pepper.
