Leonardo's, in Gainesville ? Frazier and my son and I ate there again last year. My son was asking about that too. Eye Candy, for sure, being right on campus...

We'll likely hit that one again, in Feb. .....

For now, it's stopped raining. Tractor is making the first pass brooming water off the track. I havent looked to see if they are parking the folks outside yet. Here's hoping we can get some runs in today. There were rigs outside this morning 4 wide over half way back, and that was 2 1/2 hrs ago. Mybe they can get in soon. I'm glad we got here yesterday, to get teched in, early, and out of the way. Not that we have much to do now....

Rain has subsided this afternoon.They are letting trucks in starting now -- haven't heard a jet running yet(assuming they have one)--maybe we can get a couple of licks in today inspite of all the mess.

George [Red] GIVENS · 10-24-2008, 02:46 PM

Jack-you've been pretty quiet tonight, you at the BBQ the track has? I went to Reynolds last year with my brother ( Derek Clark S/G 12 ) and had a great time. The people were great, the track was killer all weekend and the food was awsome!! Trust me, its warmer down there then it is up here. Have fun, go some rounds and enjoy, racing is alot different down there than up here. I'm going to the Dutch on Sunday to catch some racing before the seasons over, have a great time down south!!

Been very busy all day -- check this photo very close -- its Billy Lebers' truck (my ride here) - does anything look out of place? Hint-- notice how close the front bumper is to the grass .... it has been some day ! ! And not one car went down the track .

Tomorrow morning we finally get to start -- Superstreet -then Stock -- S/Gas then S/S and S/C--9am sharp --should be dry by then.

At least we're not freezing like at the 'Classic..............'till morning ....later .

Jack,
That picture of the truck brings back memories. Add some cows and a brand new white suburban. I believe you were driving if I remember correctly.

Jack Matyas · 10-25-2008, 07:50 AM

Saturday morning and no Sun yet but at least its not raining - temps in the high 50's and will reach the mid 70's by this afternoon -- we should dry out OK in an hour or two .

Superstock 1890 -- Yes , Rich -- that scene looks all too familiar but I swear this time I wasn't driving ! ! It must be the dark cloud that has been following me around lately .Be sure to let Bill in on my good fortune -- I'm sure he'll get a chuckle out of it .

Later...........
