"Live" from Down South!!! - Page 28

It looks the counts for the Gators have fallen to 71 stockers and 58 super stockers. I guess the ones that aren't already here have been frightened off by the forecast. Or they still can't get out from up North. The forecast on rain keeps going back and forth. Right now it is calling for 80% chance of rain on Thurs., but only 20% each of the days the rest of the week. It is calling for 88 tomorrow and 80s the rest of the week.

They start parking the rest of the rigs tomorrow although there did not appear to be very many rigs lined up right now. Then we have tech on Wed.

More later.

Cheers to our pit hostess and "live from" roving reporter, the charismatic Patsy Hill!

Mr. Larry, and Ms. Patsy,

We appreciate all you do.
Terri and I found another Great Seafood place while we were at the 1st Division race at Gainesville, and meant to make sure we stopped and told you both. It is Wahoo Seafood out at I-75 & CR222 at Ext #390. We ate there during both Division races as well as Cedar River. You need to go there while you are still in town.
We will not be running the Gators this year. Just to much going on, building a new shop, then starting on a new home.

Good Luck
Keith

If you like pizza and pasta another well kept secret of a bunch of us "local" S/SS racers is Leonardo's Pizza right across from the downtown Holiday Inn at University Blvd. The pizza is the best and the local color is just a good. If you go you will keep going back every time you come back to G-ville. Jim

I was in the water box when that all happend. He apparently has some serious crank case pressure problems because it blew his oil filler cap off and blew oil out of the valve cover so badly that it took 30 to 45 min to clean. I also heard that that is the 2nd time that has happened. Looks like he needs to fix his mechanical problem and get a screw in filler cap

HAY Jim what about "Hogan's Heros" on 13st, good as I remember always went there.

Robert Simpson · 03-10-2015, 04:39 PM

Does anyone know if they are running class at the Gators on Thurs or Fri?

Thursday - two hits, then class.

Stock was full up till 5 minutes before noon. I would have gladly taken a spot but I done headed my truck north.
You would think the ones bailed at last second would be more considerate. It's not like the weather changed Monday morning.

Thank you very much. I'm there on Thurs!
