Live from Reynolds,GA-NHRA LucasOil Series

Jack Matyas · 10-23-2008, 06:08 AM

Well almost live as I'm not there yet but finally on my way .As I sit in the Newark Airport I've realized that in a few short hours I'll be doing the test n tune and I can't wait .Many of my D2 friends have told me that Reynolds is a very racer friendly place and even with some rain on the way it will be a nice event for everyone attending .

On another note - this will be the first time since sometime in the seventies that I've missed the PA Dutch Classic -- sure wish I could do both ! ! !

They just called for boarding.............later .

It is a racer friendly place. We'll head out tonight, after work, we just can't get away before then, so no test and tune for us. We'll see you there, look for the 2 69 Camaros at one trailer in Stock.

Hey Jack,
We almost went to Reynolds, too, so we could have posted together. But the rain kept us away. We decided to go to the open in Kansas City instead. We aren't in the running for points like you are, so we decided to go where the weather looked better and just have a good time. I see where you are entered for Pomona also. I guess you will be going to the Las Vegas points race, too.
We wish you luck at all of those places.
Reynolds is a very friendly place to go. We went last year and had a great time.

I will be posting more later from Kansas City after we get on the road a little later today.

Patsy, Better look at the SNOW prediction for Kansas. Up to a foot discussed last night on Weather channel. Not sure of day..... Good Luck.

Arrived in Atlanta OK --waitng for connection to Macon ..........

Dick -- SNOW???-- I'll have some of what you're smokin'

Larry -- Good luck in Kansas................

Alan -- I'll keep an eye out for those Camaros

Everyone --pray for me -- they just weighed my luggage and asked how much I weighed -- I'm afraid this puddle jumper may need some horsepower ............later -- if I make it to Macon .

Jack, Only had one adult beverage last evening and I am sure they were talking a storm in the plains moving into Northwestern Kansas today and Nebraska. Weather .com confirms this prediction. Good Luck in Reynolds.

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.
