I talked to Greg Walker tonite. He said that he will open on Sunday morning at 9am.

 

We will be racing Stock Car, Can-Am, and F1.

 

See you GRRR guys there.

Grant recently posted on the GRRR facebook page that we will run Can-Am first, F1 second, then stockers last. So you can sleep in Bob.

Sleep in ... I work nights....LOL.

 

Last night I was hunting Wild Boar and Armadillo till 5:30 AM and up a 9 AM. Very little 'travel time' for work out here in the wild. :mosking:

Typically 3 AM is a 'call it an early day' for me. :boredom:  I always come to IRRA races on less than 4 hours sleep,

I''ve raced on no sleep ... remember what that was like when you were a youngster.  :wacko2:  

So while you're :lazy: and dreaming about how to win you next race I'm probably having an adrenaline rush .... fun. :roflmao:

Grant, What I would like to do is....

 Can you put me in the field for 3 classes as a No-Time/DNS and for your troubles and Greg as the host I'll buy a new pair of tires for you.

 

Tell me where to send the paypal entry fee tire money payment.

 

Have fun !!! :good:

 

RWB guys don't let Danny win  ....  :sun_bespectacled:  :sarcastic_hand:

Favor please.

 

Could someone 'tweet' this over to the GRRR Facebook page ... before it gets missed.

 

That's where most GRRR stuff is covered and I don't have an account.

 

TIA

At practice today Dennis D, Terry T and Tony P we're very fast. I heard Doc had a good practice session this week also. I'll have my hands full with that group of racers. Bummer you can't make it, Gator Bob.

We had a great time at Greg Walker's place in Holly Hill. Maybe the most unique track in the country. The turnout was good also with 10 in Can-Am, 9 in F1 and 7 in stock cars.  Next up is the Indy "500" in Melbourne, followed by Jacksonville the following week.

 

I want to give a thank you to Phil for running the races (race director), he always does a great job, and thank you to Greg for hosting another GRRR event.

DZ had a great day, winning both Can-Am and F1. Tony won stock cars one lap over me. Tony had a great day with three podium finishes. Can-Am - 2nd, F1 - 3rd, and 1st - stock cars.

Fun day as usual in Hell.  Danny only got me by 5 in can-am. I need more practice on those high lanes. When you go to practice the top 4 lanes are always set for oval, so the only time we get to run on them is race morning, making it a super big home track advantage. Not bad for me considering he used to beat me by 30 laps. lol...

Just wanted to point out the Ed Hoffman was at the Retro South race at SpeedZone in Peachtree City, GA, on Saturday. He raced Stock Car and Can-Am and then left to drive to Savannah, where he and his wife had dinner, and then continued on to Holly Hill for the GRRR race on Sunday.

 

Now that is a dedicated Retro racer!!!

 

I enjoyed seeing Ed again and I know the Retro South guys really enjoyed having him race with them.

 

Hope Ed feels he was welcomed and that he also had a good time racing with the Retro South crew.

Never forget that first place goes to the racer with the MOST laps, not the racer with the FASTEST lap

We all had a great time at Holly Hill. Ed has become a journey man. He has been attending all of the GRRR events driving from the other side of the state.  He usually gets the long distance award.
