I'm bringing plenty of water to drink, just like having extra on hand for washing pots/pans and such.
My big worry about having to get ice is having to leave the track Saturday to pick some up, and then there being a huge wait at the gate to get back in.

On Saturday would be tough unless you went EARLY, once you're in you can pass out fairly easily but I'm not sure what time the gates open on Saturday morning for the daily ticket

2 weeks from right now I will hopefully be done with my setup and relaxing with a cigar and beverage contemplating dinner. And awaiting the fun that is eating while the Oklahoma land rush on Wednesday morning rolling past wondering how I already got in.

Yeah I'm now planning on getting there around 9am Wednesday. Depending on what you're cooking I may search you out to buy a plate. I'm a sucker for good food and always have a Heineken or one of the local jacksonville craft beers to share

Some of the variety to choose from as well

I've never seen the barrel Larceny before, but it looks good!

My fav local liquor store just moved to a new building and I havent been yet. I plan to go this weekend and see if they have expanded selection with the expanded space.

A Total Wine just opened in BR too, and I haven't been there yet. I guess I will just make a day of it and tour the liquor stores!

[Adam43]

A day well spent!

[broadrun96]

Early forecast is upper 60s and lows to 40 or joeb freezing upper 30s. Woohoo, gonna need a jacket but better than 2019 heat

Also found some good breakfast hash meats this evening, God damn, camera sucked this evening

Canned breakfast meats?
Find me at the Mazda camp for fresh cooked breakfast every morning.
Speaking of weather any idea what the rain forecast looks like?

[S griffin]

Wouldn't try canned breakfast meat. But hey each to their own

[broadrun96]

So the fact it was tripe was completely missed I see.

Rain is spin the wheel of weather and see, I wouldn't trust anything before 11/7 for rain chances. Plus there's this the weekend before the race, no we will NOT see a wintery mix next Saturday

[fieldodreams79]

The man and his breakfast casseroles in a Dutch Oven need no defense but I'll take his cooking anyday over anyone else's, even if there are onions in it. He also does cakes and brownies. Anyone else gonna have fresh, hot cakes and brownies? No?

And weatherbug is full of shyte past 3 days. Give me a Glenn Burns forecast!!

[broadrun96]

Already planning on brownie one evening and black forest cake another. Likely cinn rolls Fri and Sat with biscuits for the savory folks. Might clear out my bacon from the freezer and bring it, make fresh Thanksgiving week. Considering a breakfast bread pudding and some thing like a shakshuka for breakfast, maybe with spinach added


Beautiful day here today, car says 52 and a mist so everything is damp.

Yes, i will be frozen. If only i could put something like antifreeze inside my body to stay alive.......

and was it really $8????

[broadrun96]

I would assume so but Walmart so who knows if that's the right tag. I did not buy it.

too all of this...

[broadrun96]

Did a little shopping this afternoon for some dinner beers for the week. Yes, they will be shared. And yes, it's a large picture, deal with it Mr Laptop.

I'm having a Stranger Danger this evening. It's nice if a bit heavy, but thats to be expected, it's no session ale. Definitely a sipper, good mouthfeel and dark malt first. They did not skimp on the peanut but not so overpowering. Like they'd found a way to blend a Reese's cup in a beer.

[Adam43]

Just doing the same. Trying to find something suitable for a cultural exchange

I'm bringing up a few bottles of Delirium Tremens. Other then that I'm sadly just bringing yuengling

High temps below 70 are bullshit.

That is fantastic for us Florida folk. I did however decide to get a sleeping bag rated at 0f and a good pair of insulated longjohns for during the night

[broadrun96]

Hey, it could be this week. Nice 52 and misty in Atlanta, so that's GREAT. Even a fat guy does not like that temp

You'll be sweating in that 0 degree bag! In a 4 season tent at 20 degrees outside, you'd be fine in a 30 degree bag. We won't reach the 20s but man, the coldest I've ever been at a racetrack was the 12 hrs of Sebring. I think it touched the 20s, low 30s at least. It was awful.

[Adam43]

Pre race test weekend.

[broadrun96]

What? No, you're supposed to open the brand new box, never set up before, in the dark and not even offer beer.

Oh, I'll just sit in my chair with a whiskey and cigar to watch.

Extra points if you bring a pressure washer for field annoyance

[fieldodreams79]

I just don't want the weather to be like it was today. I watched 3 soccer games in the cold and wind, with one in the cold wind with rain.

[joeb]

Forecast is making me nervous with rain in the picture Wednesday Thursday this week oh, that makes a similar fate next week all the more likely
