No Racing-Some Racing-What Is Ahead
Yesterday (Saturday April 26) was a interesting day. I was on a racing show yesterday that is focused on Alabama Drag Racing. During the course of the show it was revealed that Lassiter Mountain Dragway, a 1/8mi. strip I have actually announced at when George Howard ran it, was going to race.
They are going to have the very popular Southeastern Gasser Association come in for a May 9th event after being on the schedule waiting list for 5 years. They say it's a 100% go.
So right after being on the show, I called TST owner and my track boss Lynn Phillips to inquire about Talladega's status for practice and opening season dates. He said he is not doing anything until the Govenor of Bama gives the green light in whatever sequence. Ok then.
Then from sources it was said that Thunderhill and Duck River up in Tennessee were told to not open the gates for anything just yet.
Then I was told that Dixie Speedway in Georgia put the kaboosh to their show next week and that Senoia's Ray Cook show was in some kind of limbo status.
Geez louise this is some kind of crazy jibberish, yes, no, maybe, coulds shouda wouda, or?
I need a drink and it is only 10:15am here at the casa.
