Also, did you say there was a new Popeyes somewhere?

Yes. It's like Dollar General. There's one every other block.

Yes sir there is, I've hit it twice now, very nice. Right next to Zaxby's, but a bit of a PITA to get out and come back towards the track, have to go back to the light at RaceTrac to make the left.

I made sure to look this evening at sunset, 6ish you could do it but you're pushing it.

OK, what the eff happened to the forecast for Thursday? Sheesh
Anyway, spent yesterday watching football, drinking and packing up the RV. Should be there by lunch tomorrow.

broadrun96 · 8 Nov 2021, 13:08 (Ref:4082176)

Just wait, by the afternoon it will be better and then what again in the AM. Weatherbug is at 50 and 50 chances Thursday and Friday, with Underground now at half inch Thursday but Friday clear. So spin the wheel and pick a forecast.

Uggh, just saw the detailed Weather.com forecast, wonder who needs to run at night, sounds like rain all evening for them so not good. Especially any LMP3s who need night running

Gonna try to load everything but the grills and coolers tonight. Have to pick up a trailer tomorrow to bring the grills but then headed north. I would guess lunchish myself but joy of reserved spot, it will always be there

**Adam43** · 8 Nov 2021, 13:27 (Ref:4082183)

All trust the BBC.

Edit: blummin’ attachments. Anyway it’s better. Gets to 50% chance rain on Thursday night only.

fieldodreams79 · 8 Nov 2021, 14:00 (Ref:4082191)

Two fronts moving through between Thursday evening and Saturday morning. Looking like 'not much' of the wet stuff, but two shots of it later this week when it's gonna be beautiful the next couple of days. Will clear up and cool down for the race. Just give me that great big ball in the sky on Saturday and I'll bring a cord of wood for the evenings.

Just look here, fer n ners

Oh, I've not even started making a list. Only spoken with my brother about meeting up. That's it.

Yes, they have had it open at other races this season.

Forecast is looking better, only Thurs with rain and clearing up after that.

That's me. Except I'm not leaving until around 4am tomorrow morning. The car business has been super slow lately so I pretty much just sit watching the clock go round

I'm currently at a Mazda dealership, and it is dead. The lot is almost empty, so hard to draw customers in when there is nothing to show them!

On my way to the grocery store after this for the rest of my provisions!

I work at a little independent used car lot and we have inventory, people just love to complain about the prices.
Luckily I have everything bought, just need to finish packing the car and hope to get a few hours sleep before leaving

Thx for the conformation on the paddock. I thought as much....

And yeah. Rain looking to push through right when I get there for the only practice session I'd likely be able to see. No practice on Friday. I'm gonna push hard to leave asap Thursday. Still a lot to be done between now and then. This better be the last damn time they have it this week. This is literally the week where I start landing work for the next two years....maybe my boss can actually do something for a change.

Fire?

fieldodreams79 · 10 Nov 2021, 01:24 (Ref:4082501)

Yeah, forget me bringing firewood. We can all stand next to the burning Mazda.

broadrun96 · 10 Nov 2021, 03:30 (Ref:4082509)

Damn, 58 degrees and dark is quite chilly so 35 ain't gonna be nice fellas. But camp mostly setup, coffee and hash while everyone streams in tomorrow will be great with the sun up at 8.

**Adam43** · 10 Nov 2021, 03:35 (Ref:4082510)

Dad arrived safe and sound. Tired obviously. Giddy to get going.
