    In and out in 31 minutes.
    I got up super early because of the wind and the empty trailer.

    If I get lucky maybe I can watch the race at Hooters in Council Bluffs. Daytona has great cameras this year and sitting right under that 60" tv, :) plus the guy switching the cameras was superb. Go Logano

    Sitting at Trader Joes in Chino. This place cannot be described without the word "cluster". Parked in the dock door the nose of my truck is probably 25-30 feet from a row of trailers... oh and did I mention the blind-side backup into a too-narrow door? Fun times. On top of it all these folks seem to be in no hurry to unload my trailer. Detention pay here I come.

    I sat at the wrong side tonight, my tv had politics, the race was on at the other end. But good conversation with the driver that's running light and has to wait for the wind to die down
    I'll have to learn that new rule, I only hit the NASCAR channel on Sprint race day, and the pre race shows, I like Clare

    I've been there probably 4 or 5 times. Every time but one I was in and out within an hour. The one exception was 4 hours because Crete sent me in a full day early for a live load appointment. GP loaded it anyway, they just had to get ahold of the product. So my guess is you just have bad luck over there.
