Live from the Gator Nats

Well I haven't attended a national event in a few years and even longer when I wasn't in competition but I'm looking forward to it. I'll be Craig's official crew chief this weekend. Yesterday was tech, today we gets 3 scheduled time runs but the day is starting out overcast we'll see how things go. More later.

Yesterday was time runs,qualifying and class eliminations only the DA ended up being 2600ft. The track was slow I believe its was how sticky it was the burn out area would pull your shoes off. Today is first round only stock starts things off at 8am, strange to here cars warming up before the sun is out. More later

Sorry for the lack of reporting the E-net is real slow now ,I can't load photos we'll do that later. Craig is still in down to 4 cars we run after the 2nd round of pro's. I'll update later.

Well what a Gator nationals, we haven't been to a national event in a few years but this was a good one. Lots of spectators only one on track incident and the driver walked away, and my buddy Craig Porter made it to another final round. Its been an unbelievable trip I didn't do squat but Craig sure made up for that. Three race's in a row and he comes away with a win and two RUs what a way to start a season. We couldn't be happier for him, congrats to Bill Clarke on his 1st national event win. Here are the final round photos.
