Just got the word.....
Can not believe this but I just got a phone call at 1:35 AM. Yes 20 minutes ago. I am on my way to Darlington Raceway. I am back to work folks and I don't care that they woke me up in the middle of the night. 3 month's with out work was too long. Way way way to long. I hope that we don't have to do this again. This has not been easy for any of us. I am retired but I still like my monthly job's. Make's me feel like I am worth something. And yes I get paid to watch a car race. Only thing not allowed is having a beer or two.
Anyway, I am rambling on and hope that the one's here still waiting to get back to work you do real soon.
So we will be on the road with the new Montana for the first time out tomorrow night. 5 hour run to Darlington from home so that's not a bad run for 1st time out.
Oh, buy the way, if you haven't figured it out yet. Yes it is NASCAR. I love it!
Well need to start packing..... 
Charlie

This is great news for you and your family. Also great news for us Nascar fans. I hope you enjoy the race. Will be strange without fans in the seats.

Glad to hear this! Great news for everyone! Enjoy that new Montana! We're still in the driveway at home. At least we are sleeping in "it" every night.
Drive safe and enjoy those race cars!

Glad you get back to work. I'm ready for some racin'. I'm a bit envious except for the beer part. Now for my rambling... I've been a car nut all my life , a racing fan, and of course a NASCAR nut since before I can remember. Growing up in Wyoming we only had limited exposure , but my bucket list always had the super speedways on it. No particular order they are Darlington, Daytona , and Talladega.

I guess we are lucky we grew up in race country when a race was more of a moonshine swap than a race. You had a flavor and I had something else so we backed our cars together and traded. My friend’s father drove liquor for Curtis Turner. Curtis would buy pop and hotdogs for all the kids. Remember when Marty Robbins raced. He always wonted to lead a race so he put 2 four barrels on his car. He led a few laps, pulled into the pits and cut it off. He always had to get back to the Grand o opery so he could close it out. He came to town to perform and a guy was running his mouth. Marty stoped in the middle of a song, pointed at the guy and told him people were there to enjoy the show and said for him to shut up or he would whip his ass. The guy shut up.

Should be interesting - no practice sessions or qualifying and a wonky way to line up and even stranger next week. I'll be watching after the iRacing snoozefests. I listened to Larry Mcreynolds on Sirrius yesterday try to explain the way the lineup would be set and he even sounded confused.

I am happy for you Charlie, working can make a person feel better about themselves. I am really ready to try not working but that is another story. Drive safe and happy roads to you.

I am glad to see the guys get back on track but this can't be the new normal. No way teams can compete like this. I can only imagine a pit stop. one guy with tire and air gun in hand. Even the fuel guy can't fuel the car because he wouldn't be 6' from the rear tire.
I am glad you are getting some $$$ I just hope it's enough LOL I bet there are grumblings in the garage. I bet they run through more hand sanitizer than oil.
