"Live" from Belle Rose

Larry Hill · 03-17-2010, 10:38 AM

Well, actually we are still in the driveway, but I got a new laptop, so I thought I would try it out and make sure everything is working. We are still a few hours from leaving yet. It is amazing how much stuff you have to do to get everything ready to race for the first time each spring. I just know I am ready to get out of Kentucky. We have had the coldest winter in lots of years here, so I am ready for some warm weather. In checking out the weather, it looks like it is going to be great. A little cold on Sunday, but 60 & 70's otherwise. If anyone is already there, feel free to jump on here and give us updates.

More later.

Have a safe trip and plenty of fun down there, and please keep those great reports that you're famous for coming to us who can't be there....after the last few weekends, everyone going deserves a great-weather-weekend......WJ

I heard from some of the guys at the track this morning. They say the grounds are in good shape with just a few damp spots. The air this morning was -100 feet with a barometer better than anything ever witnessed at Atco. Wow! Testing tomorrow.

Good luck to all at the Belle Rose race. Hope to see a lot of you at the 4 Wides at Zmax at the end of the month.

Final stages of Drag Pak # 16. Hope to load and go park tonight. Media day tomorrow with sheriffs, da's, and other local politicians and media people racing charger hemi powered police cars. Then test the new car. Gotta find a class first. First Magnum powered Challenger, one of 3 to be made, one of one now. This is the nicest car I have ever had in my too-many-years-to-talk-about racing life. That can't be correct english.

Well after a very long day of getting ready, we finally got on the road at 9 last night. We drove til 1:30 and spent the night in a nice Walmart parking lot in Grenada, MS. It was bad on the trailer, though. Drug getting in and out. And then we were back on the road at 6:45 this morning. It was 45 degrees this morning, so we were sleeping close last night! We should be at the racetrack by test n tune time, so we will let you know more when we get there.

Bruce -- Heard from Phil Szupka ( crew chief for his son Steve - Stock & Comp ) -- and by his gauges the highest barometer yesterday was 30.18 with a final DA of plus 225 .Either way it looks like some great performances are coming -- testing today will be super for sure .........wish I could have made it there ......................

BTW- the weather this morning at 7:30 CST --55 degrees - a whopping 70.1 % humidity - barometer at 30.08 - vapor pressure at .28 and a final DA of plus 441 .
