I’m throwing in the towel on my Summernationals trip. Spoon done postponed. Local weatherman I been watching said it looks wet though Friday. Ain’t worth the 600 plus mile risk. I should’ve picked last week. So I’m gonna take the 350 mile journey south where the forecast is looking just about perfect. Will try it again next year. ....But I’m still planning on I-55 next Saturday.

Oh. Anybody want to sit in my seats at FALS go right ahead. Backstretch, Section B, Row 13, Seats 10-12. Your welcome. And good luck weather wise.

Which beach? I live on Perdido key which is between orange beach and Pensacola beach. Come on down. FYI there is a Mississippi State series race at a new track up around Flomaton, AL Saturday which is about an hour or so north of Pensacola. Also there is a Southern Super Series asphalt super late model race here in Pensacola on Friday night.

Cool, well enjoy! I go to Orange Beach at least once a week and hangout, just about 15 minute drive for me.

When I lived in Baton Rouge I use to go to Pensacola 3 times a year. Party-ed there for years.

Really disappointed though. 4-5 day Summernationals trip been on my bucket list at least 20 years. Stinks. I have to turn in vacation time in January. So i just hope it works out. It didn’t. Perhaps next year it will.

I need to hook up with you guys at a race sometime. I am originally from Northwest Arkansas but moved to Mobile, AL in 2014 and to Pensacola in 2016. I have branches (welding supply company) all over the Southeast. I have branches in most of the places you discussed: Anniston, Decatur, and Columbus GA (aka phenix chitty) haha

What welding supply place do you have in columbus?

06-22-2018, 09:20 AM
Airgas. Have one in Opelika too.

PS when I say "have one", I don't run the place I'm just the fleet manager for the region, buy and sell the trucks, trailers, forklifts, etc the branches need. I cover about 130 branches from Vicksburg to Chattanooga to Gulfport to Atlanta to Key West. It is grueling at times. Good part is I get to travel a lot and can usually parlay a work trip into a race weekend.

Yea not much in Snead but it's all good, I know a lot of the 0eople at Airgas in Anniston, used to work for a medical company delivering liquid oxygen and used to fill up there a good bit. Red Farmer runs Talladega regularly, old man isn't bad lol

Good deal! Yeah we definitely need to try to all get together at an event, that would be cool.

PS I feel like this has to be the longest thread in a while without mention of Pierce or Bloomer or Tires, just good conversation, and people probably hate it.

But we are hate fueled rednecks, man. You missed the memo? Haha

Only thing I'm mad about is our dirt roads and no indoor plumbing

Last time I checked I've never turned a wrench on Pierce or Bloomers car. So in the end I couldn't care less about all the arguing about it.

Does anybody know anything about the Tri-County Speedway in Pollard that is new and supposed to be running the Mississippi State Series race tomorrow night? I can't even find a website for the track. It is about an hour away from me, I thought about going...

Thanks,

I think the boat races have been canceled due to the water being too rough
