"Live From" 2022 Baby Gators / Gatornationals

[Dyno]

Even if the weather is better tomorrow, many racers can not get their cars out of the trailer or out of their pit area because of the water and mud. In over 45 years of racing, this is the worst I have ever seen. The number of people pulling out tomorrow will be big, IF they can get out of the area they are parked. Last week was perfect, how the weather can change things !

Good morning all, yes it is still raining. It stopped about midnight, but at around 5am it started again. The rain was heavy for about 2 hours, maybe more. Its lightened up a little, but the pits are a mess. The rain is supposed to stop in a few hours, but the winds are picking up and temps will start to drop.

Who knows what the schedule will be today... here is what it look like yesterday, I'm afraid to look outside now.

I'm sorry I posted the contact information because a few (or more) idiots harassed someone just doing her job. Obviously some people don't know how to behave.

It's the rainiest Gatornationals I've ever experienced but we found a bit of good weather Thursday evening and we just couldn't help ourselves. Call it Thursday Happy Hour if you will. We even interrupt a Fletcher dog walk but their 3 week old baby was just too adorable not to get on video. Triple Crown Barrett stops in on the fun while myself, Evan Smith, and Ken Miele of classracer.com along with a bunch of friends discuss the DragInsights app in a little more depth and go through various features that can help sportsman racers take their programs to the next level. We also discuss the weekend's Power Rankings which is a new feature we have been putting out. "Yo Ken" also talks about the upcoming Class Racer Nationals!

Thanks Bobby...

The rain has stopped... the wind has picked and the temp is dropping fast, but the the clouds are breaking up and the sun is starting to break through. One official told me the pros will be first on the track... no word on the sportsman.

But bet you can make a good guess LOL

Always appreciate your reports Ken and despite the frustrations with NHRA you try to keep all of us balanced in our comments. NHRA has lost a ton of money in gate receipts and concessions because of the rain so this has been maddening for them as well as racers and spectators.

Can’t wait for your race at Numidia where WE are the focus.
