Leaving in  about one hour.  Road conditions look good in Utah at least on the west side. Cold  on the salt at 35 degrees this morning. Everyone have a great and safe trip, see ya there.

My trailer and truck left South Georgia Friday morning.  We picked up the race car in Houston on Sat.  I'll be flying in on Monday evening.  I'm really looking forward to this event very much.

But how do you act when...

1) There are 2/3 less vehicles in line?

2) It won't be hot while waiting in line?

 :lol:

I wonder if they will be giving away those Monster drinks again.  Is that stuff supposed to actually taste good?!

One day as the sun came up in Bendover, the snow was more than I have ever seen there and I could not imagine we could run.
I got a call from out on the salt to ask where I was because they were done taking pictures ready to run.
The conditions were perfect for taking pictures and the salt was as good as it can get.
The timer displays are LCD and the cold would allow the timing and printer to work but the visual had to be put under the heater in the Rent- a- Wreck .
We were running 1 open bike, and with the chill factor the rider experienced, he may still be frozen.

Glad you made it.  To bad you had to quit early today.  I bet he did not even get your legs tired.  Good Luck.

I am going drag racing Sunday at MOKAN but I wish I was with you.
