I herd they are running low on gas down there too. Yes the price is better if you can find it. I might have to throw a few extra gas jugs in the back of the truck to bring back home!

Well, since we have no gas here. It will be hard to make it. Sorry. I passed one place that was open and it was $4.19 for the good stuff. 5 others were closed.

There is no gas here to even get out of Lake Lure. So I guess I won't be going anywhere.

Shady sounds good, but I still think we are staying home to conserve. Sounds so doesn't?

the only thing i hate about greer is that you have to get there at 6 to even run more than twice when i go i want to run 5 or 6 times so i go to wareshoals not a real great track but the right lane hooks good for me and i can run as many times i want and able to watch the runs as i wait . at greer i have to walk to the front of the line or sit and stare at other cars but shady side is a nice track too its just farther than wareshoals for me anyone else besides boltonz go to wareshoals on friday nights

I have never been. It's further for me to go there. There was no one at greer thurs night. I guess the gas scared everyone. I could make a pass and pull straight around and make another one.

Just have to know how to get around in the lines. Everyone on Thrus clogged the right four lines and leaves the two far left lanes empty. If you can get around the crowd in the back and make your way around on the far left you can get just about as many runs as you like.
