Drag racing update
First of I thank everyone for their patience. As you likely know, we did have some more overnight rainfall in the area. I have been on the phone with Mike Savage (Atlanta Dragway manager) this morning and here is where we stand:

- Our planned start time of noon is off.

- Sometime between now and about 1 pm, and based on what happens with the weather system, the track management will have to make a call on the scheduled test and tune session for tonight. That schedule was gates at 6 pm and racing from 6:30-11 pm.

- If we can get in for a couple hours before the scheduled event tonight they will try to make that happen, but right now this is a long shot.

- If tonight's event does not get cancelled, we will get 2 lanes and preferential status

- If tonight gets cancelled, there is a POSSIBILTY of getting a couple hours tomorrow night. There is a big swap meet already paid for tomorrow from 7 am - 3 pm. This option would require more from us in terms of monies, catch me in person for more details.

AND PRAY FOR THE WEATHER TO COOPERATE!!!!!

Chappy, you could have raced yesterday! I know those turns and elevations are scary, but it was a bunch of fun!

UPDATE

Just got off the phone with Mike. As of right now the track plans to open tonight for the 6 pm event, and we will get our lanes. There is still a chance of rain this afternoon, so this plan is subject to change. If tonight rains out the track's plan is to move forward with tonight's event tomorrow same 6 pm time frame. He feels there would be time after the swap meet to be ready at 6.

The next firm update I will get will be at 3 pm today.

LOL
I wouldn't advise that on i85. Lots of speed traps between mall of Georgia and commerce.
