Good morning folks, today we run the Open, start time is 9am and the weather looks good. Just a few thoughts on yesterdays race and Galot in general. What a great place to race, don't let the 1/8 mile stop you from making the trip, I promise you will love this place. There are power hook ups everywhere for your motorhome, lots of black top to park on and nice wide lanes to drive throughout the pits. There is a dump station for your rv, and clean modern bathrooms. The track is smooth and the scoreboards are the best I have ever seen. I have never raced 1/8 mile so it was a learning experience for me. I don't talk much about my racing, as there is not much to talk about...lol, but things happen very fast and you have less time to make the right call. Another really nice thing about being here for me is... everyone is so nice, polite and just plain friendly. So many people were so welcoming, I was humbled. Cody Phillips and family put on a super nice barbeque, a great bunch of people... it was good times for sure. Well I guess that's it for now, I should have an in car camera later today if all goes well, its a stick car so it should be a fun ride. |

And the rest rooms across from the scales have shower facilities with endless hot water ! Should the owner someday acquire the land to extend track to 1/4 mile racing, I believe this location could hold a National event one day. Perfect location halfway between the northeast and Fla. and only 3 miles off I-95. Easy access !

Re: "Live" from Galot LODRS 2-5
Thanks for adding that note Tabitha I had meant to mention it earlier. Unfortunately I will not be able to make it due to my kids having things scheduled.
One thing I do want to mention as well I was fortunate enough to be making rounds this past weekend so I was dreading the dinner plans. Thank goodness I had a few invites from other racers but our pit neighbor Dell Britt invited us over. Let me tell you something I have always seen Dell grilling at the track for as long as I can remember but if he ask you over to eat jump at the chance! He had two grills full of prime rib and I was almost glad Strickland stuck it to me so I could eat. Anyway just wanted to give Dell and Ms Linda a shout out for dinner and Strick for getting me there before it was gone! Congrats to Jeff also for his double in Stock and TD.
