Good morning from a sunny Barber Motorsports Park. It has been good weather all weekend, but somehow the racing gods created an even better day today.
I was a little surprised how light traffic was coming in this morning. We arrived around 8:45 am, and essentially just drove right in. I hope that’s not indicative of a light crowd. I wouldn’t think that, given the weather. Plus, Friday and Saturday both had very good crowds – so I would expect today to be no different. My fear is that the locals don’t realize it is an earlier start time this year. We’ll see how it goes in a few hours.
We had planned to go to Dreamland BBQ last night, but it was packed. We tried a couple of other locales, but we learned that this was Prom Night all over Birmingham. Out of frustration, we simply went back to Cracker Barrel next to our hotel again.
Susan has already headed to the pits to take photos during the morning warm-up. I see cars are now on-track, so I’m headed there too.
She will try to post something up here later this morning, then I will return here after the race for a warp-up, then tomorrow for my Random Thoughts post. Please chack back later.
