Dixie Maverick Mini-Meet - May 4/5/6

OK ,The weather channel websight says 60% for Macon so I figured it was the same for Hampton.

 

The weekend weatherman for the NBC affiliate in Atlanta used to be the weather guy for WMAZ 13 in Macon - Chris Holcombe. But, I digress.

If it rains, we can go to Summit and Frank can give us an extensive tour of his store.

 

Accuweather is saying spotty thunderstorms ... gonna be a typical GA hit or miss stormcloud type of weekend it seems ... the current radar shows more of a popcorn effect ...not a front moving through ...

 

To hell with all the rain talk boys...I am HERE at the motel NOW!!! Everybody better not bail out on me because of a few rain drops now. I'll get up about 7-8 in the morning, grab a bite of breakfast, and head on to the track. Is anybody else going to be there that early? I think most everybody has my cell...give me a call when you get there if you see me.

 

Ray ... I will be at the track around 6:30 AM ... leaving my house at 5:00 AM ... I'll snag an area for the Mavericks. If you want to come by and drop off your car ... Colton and I will go out to breakfast with you. Ray ... how is the hotel? They have internet? I'll bring my laptop if they do ...

 

I hope the weather is good to you guys.
Good luck. Take lots of pics.

Seth

We Are Here Now, Be At The Track Around 9 Ish

 

Dan just called from the track. He said they have a real good spot set up for the Mavericks. I'm still trying to get my crew out of bed at 8:14. Man, some people think they should just sleep all day. Hopefully I'll be there in about an hour.

 

Ray; be there tonight about 6:30p. Have to work, you know. Takes me about 2hrs to get to the hotel. Are we meeting for dinner anywhere? Might be a good thing to do. Later,

 

I just got home, delivered in Tucker, Ga this morning. Waiting on brother in law to get off at 2:00 pm CDT, then we will be heading over that way. See ya'll in the morning, unless I run ito some of ya'll at the hotel tonight....

 

We arrived at the hotel about 10:30 EDT. They screwed up our reservations, supposed to have had two rooms with king size beds plus a roll away for my son, we ended up with one room with a king size and one with three double beds. [Who recomended this place? ] We took the triple and let brother in law and sister in law have the king. Saw Earl's car parked, but haven't got up with anybody yet. Wife is PIZZED at the hotel, made'em give us a discount since they screwed up. Looking for a better day tommorrow!

 

Okay, we had a real good day today. The weather was fine, no rail whatsoever. It was overcast all day and even a little on the cool side. We got to see plenty of beautiful cars and some awesome nostalgia drag racing with some very famous cars. I have taken lots of photos but I can't post them right now. I'm still at the motel and we have to go back tomorrow morning.
We did have 6 Mavericks which was decent. Our cars got lots of attention as always. Well, I got a long day ahead of me tomorrow so I'm heading to bed right now. I'll catch you guys again tomorrow night, hopefully with some pics.

 

You know what they say....."You should have been there!" We got home about 8 pm CDT. As Ray said, 6 Mavs in a row, had the pleasure to meet Ray and his wife, das351965 and his wife, and edwardsj{?}, and of course it was good to see Terry, Dan, Frank, Mike,and Earl again {Hope I didn't leave anybody out, if I did I apoligise}. Lots of nice cars, more FORDs than anything else , got to see Dyno Don's Mav Here's a few shots of the Mavs.....Sorry the last two are a little fuzzy, the lighting inside the building made it hard to get a clear pic.

 

Just got home from the speedway. Was a nice place to meet ... but car show turned out to be pretty lame. The threat of rain and thunderstorms really kept most folks from coming out. The registration booth had a large box of envelopes for pre-registered cars that never showed up. It rained a little both Friday and Saturday night (late .. like 2:00 AM) ... but never rained at the track. Very good weather ...I actually have sunburn.

Thanks to all the Maverick die-hards that showed up. I left my house without my camera but Ray came to the rescue ... actually Ray and Don took a ton of pictures that I am looking forward to seeing.

Lot of famous cars on display and also drag racing. There was a NASCAR Driving Experience going on this weekend so we got to see some of that racing too. Even Dyno Don's Maverick made a couple of runs down the track.

Thanks again to all you guys (and ladies) that showed up ...
