"Live" from Atlanta double points race 2013

Jim, I will try to do that!

Some notes from the race:

Robbie Shaw got the wheelie award this morning. I think he scraped the bumper. I will try to find where he is pitted and see later.

John Livingston withdrew and now Painter is driving his car.

Jeff Adkinson broke something on the line this morning. Don't know if it is fixable by first round or not.

Brad Plourd broke something yesterday and looks like he has withdrawn also.

The track seemed to be hooking better today.

Did the rules change?
If somebody is teched in as the driver and drove a car at an event it can't be driven by anybody else at the event used to be the rule!?

Bill, I think they make them up as they go along ... :-)

Well it was interesting first round. Our car went from a 1.36 60' to a 1.49 and it was all over but the shouting! Cooter just came over and asked if we were another victim of the bald spots. Larry said to tell ya'll that, if you aren't already here, unless they do something about the track, don't waste your money coming for Race # 2. Most of the losses first round was due first to someone spinning them up. And then the wind kept coming and going, so if it died down, you might have broken out. One person who is probably kicking himself right now is Gale Pinkston. He was running Bud Rowe and something happened to Bud--probably spun em and Bud was not even half track and Gale broke out by .02. Never looked up, I guess.

Oh, and I don't think Brad Plourd is even here. Either someone else is driving his car or one that looks a whole lot like it!

I would try B/SA for the second race and put the weight back in.Is this the first race that you ran at the CC/SA weight?

Div2 does have a track that hooks, South Ga. Motorsports crew did a great the first race of the year keeping the track working. The track crew stayed on top of the bald spots by being proactive. They sprayed, dusted, and drug the track as needed.

The Atlanta track just needs to follow a proven biscuit recipe for track preparation. If Atlanta needs a recipe please contact Bill "Red Man" Floyd, or Pat Joffrion.

Still mad about lack of track prep: so is # 3 B/SA Corvette, Slate missed his dial by .24, I was off .13 in 60', Glazener off his dial by .37, Kight off by .14, Wood COPO off .32. Super stock did not do much better gt/ ga Taylor blew tires off. General opinion is "if they won't fix the track we will not be back".

Looks to me If the crew does not get the starting line under control, there will be plenty of places to park in the future.

As they say "screw me once shame on you, screw me twice shame on me"

I know I got screwed today by poor track prep, please don't make me say shame on me!

Everyone hear paid to race on a quality track, today everyone got short changed!!!!
