I just knew Fletcher would go red. Dad's race has to be a record of some kind. Either had a his opponent red light or bye run till the finals.

Congrats to Dan on his win.

Bigger congrats to Larry on making it to the finals and almost taking it! Larry good job!

Well it has been an exciting evening and very busy! Congrats to Dan on his win! It was just a good old drag race in the finals. We picked up a little more than we thought we would after there was no wind blowing in the final. I am sure Larry will have more to say tomorrow! We are pretty pooped right now. Just had some drinks with Jim and Pam and now we are ready for bed. More tomorrow!

Congrats on the runner up. Can't wait to see the sportsman coverage. On paper that looks like a real close race.

Those new Goodyears even hook in the rain!

We had a good old drag race. Patsy and I had a lot of fun, now its off to the coast for a little fishing and sight seeing. Next week is the Jegs race, that race is always fun, hope to see y'all there!

Dan said he was going to be in the "Coaching Box" next week at the Jegs race.

Well it is raining again here in Charlotte this morning. Some of the pros have been testing, but I guess that is over now.

I have 1 picture from last night. I forgot I had my camera with me! This was after the decals had been checked off at the end of the track. This is Larry and Mr. Pat C from Tech.

Larry just changed the oil in the generator while we were here and had a place to dump it. We are now on our way to the Carolina Coast to do some fishing. (If it doesn't rain us out!) If I get any good pictures, I will add them on to this thread.

Larry, you guys coming to Maple Grove?

Larry Hill · 09-18-2012, 03:36 PM

Well we left Charlotte yesterday and drove to the New Bern, NC KOA on the Neuse River. This is a picture of the little dock on the river here at the campground.

View from the swing at sunset.

Here is Larry this morning as we left to go fishing!

Here is Captain Chris!

Going out to Bogue Sound in Atlantic Beach.

Relaxing!

Me before I got wet! The wind was blowing about 20 mph.

Larry getting ready to land that first spanish mackeral.

Success! This is first of our daily limit that we caught.

Here is another!

And another!

Here is the baby grouper that we threw back.

Going across the bridge into Morehead City in the rain!

We had a great day, got soaked, and had a great lunch at The Ruddy Duck!
