Let me clear this up a little. Using the intersection of I77 and I85 as a reference point to start from, it should be around 30-45 minutes south on I85 to Blacksburg or Rt 198 exit which I think is exit 102. The Flying J is right there off the exit.

I was getting worried about the forecast for a while. Now it looks better with only increasing clouds late in the afternoon, probably after it's over. 60 degrees will be nice. No rain until Monday.
I can just see Randy riding down with Jed. He'll look like Garfield stuck to the window with fear on his face.

Forecast I saw today puts rain in Greenville area at noon. I don't know if it will hold off for the day or trip home.
Randy, just show that sign to the ugly red car with black wheels.......................but you'd have to hold it in the back window

If I make it I'll go there directly as Blacksburg is a backtrack for me... Not sure about getting up at 4AM on my only day off with a 50% chance of rain..

Add me to the last minute list. I tried to catch up with yall at QSL. I saw yall about to get on 85 to Kannapolis. I worked through traffic went to Cannon Village, but never saw anybody. I parked on the main strip where all the other cars were. I was there about an hour. I talkd to the fella from Queen City that had the Zweyer wheels and fixed headlights at the Spring autonfair and another guy from Underground's site and left.

It was great to see the RCG group today in Anderson SC, they sure have some very nice cars, and, they are learning to drive them the correct way, on the track.

Here are a few shots at Anderson:
Waiting in the pits:
The crew hard at work:
As usual, Rick was leading in the discussion:
Rick's Nitro C5 in race dress:
The other polo vert (95) #19 was fast, but I out shined him
This was another outstanding day at the track. Now if we could just get Randy, Kirby, Jim, Deb, Mark, Mark, Jeanette and the rest of the RCG to come on out and PLAY.
