Getting close to race time in Alabama. How are you preparations coming

I am still planning on heading over but I will only be able to get away

I'll be camping at the track, arriving Thursday night 9/25. Practice all

Friday 9/26, practice Saturday & Sunday morning with racing starting

noon both days. Track info & directions at.

Talladega GP track. Camping at the track again & pretty much the same

practice all day Friday, practice Saturday & Sunday morning with racing
beginning around noon both days.
