SpeedWeek 2020

Glenn,

Looks like beautiful conditions once again for another year.
Have you found Martin’s 12-pipe yet? It is not too far
from that end of the lake. It was pretty cold down there
yesterday morning, I hope it warms up for you guys.
I am still plowing snow up here in God’s Country.

Have Fun,

Mark Sholund

 

[Glenn Quarles]

Hey Mark! Never did find the pipe! Yeah I hope it warms up too...I’ll be out chest deep in the pond clearing out the launch area. Luckily the pond is all spring fed so the water is pretty comfortable to be in.

Be careful in that snow! See you in August,

Final Preparations for Speed Week

 

[RaceMechaniX]

Hey Glenn,
I am going to try and make it down for the 6th-9th. It will be a last minute decision to go if I can make it.

[Glenn Quarles]

Tyler, that would be awesome!! Let me know if there is anything I can do to help you out!! Weather forecast looks amazing so far!

[Glenn Quarles]

Donna and I got the first part of the course set today. This is buoys 4, 6, and the center. All we have left for tomorrow is buoys 2 and 5.

this is the roughest the water has been since we’ve been here.

Hello Glenn,
Can we park and leave trailers at the lake overnight?
Let's hope the weather holds.
Tyler

 

[Glenn Quarles]

Hey Tyler, yes you can leave trailers, tables etc at the lake. We will be lakeside in our motor home the entire time and there will be several other RVs there most of the week.

[RaceMechaniX]

Got it. Thx

 

[Glenn Quarles]

Donna and I finished getting the course set this morning. Now it’s just cleaning up the launch area and a little grass away from the timing equipment area.

 

[Glenn Quarles]

Here is the lake right now...I couldn’t stand it so I’m out here burning some nitro

 

[HTV Boats]

Save some of that calm water for us. Jay and I will be there Saturday evening.
Mic

 

[Glenn Quarles]

Will do Mic!! It’s been almost perfectly calm for the entire week I’ve been here, so fingers crossed it stays like this for the next couple of weeks!!

drive safe my friend!

[Glenn Quarles]

Here is what we are dealing with this morning .

 

[Brandon Atwell]

Hey Glenn! What’s the address to the lake again? We will be pulling in early tomorrow morning

 

[Glenn Quarles]

Good to hear Brandon! Drive safe!

The pond is located on the SW corner of exit 13 and I-75.

The address is
2321 Old Clyattville Rd, Valdosta GA

 

[Glenn Quarles]

Got the RV moved out to our lake home for the next 10 days! Everything is done except setting up the timing equipment for a test run. We have light rain in the forecast for the rest of today, so I’m not sure it’s gonna get done! Rick Grim does such an awesome job at keeping the equipment in order I’m not worried in the least that it wont be perfect tomorrow morning!

 

[John Beardslee]

Your flunky assistant should be there about 6:30 am depending on how many stops to find enough Hardy’s cinnamon raisin biscuits for us!

 

[Glenn Quarles]

Nice!!

 

[Danny King]

Have fun and safe travels everyone’s. I’ll be there sometime next week.
