We've been racing for a couple of hours now - Stock got in round one ......what do you think the odds are of both the boss and I having heads-up runs ? More than that -what are the odds of both of us winning ? And yet it happened ...........that kind of explains why neither of us has posted much this afternoon .We were to runs more rounds this afternoon and night but the weather people tell us the bad stuff is coming .........and soon .

We are still racing here at e-town, but in about 1 hour it maybe be a different story. There are a line of thunderstorms heading our way. The good news is tomorrow is supposed to upper 70's and pleasant.

I would like to congratulate Paul Bailey, NHRA named him the South Central Division director. Anyone that races here at e-town knows Paul. He is a great guy with a terrific sense of humor, very professional and personable. I wish him luck and know div 4 is in good hands.

The photo below is Paul holding a cake baked by Gloria Ley. The cake not only looks great, but it tastes great.

We are done for the day - just started raining and the winds are picking up ........


Racers are just waiting for the storm -- and with the help of adult beverages I might add .

Jack - did you hear a run order for tomorrow? Do we assume they'll finish SS and then go to round 1 of SG? If you hear anything please let us know. Thanks

[Ken Miele]

Don, I heard super gas is out first and then they will finish super stock. I thought it was strange and may have misunderstood. Either way it will be ss and sg in the morning.

Thanks for the kind words Jack! It took a long time but I finally did it!

Got together tonight with some friends to have a litlle birthday celebration for John Leach - longtime Stock racer from Maryland - funny thing is no one asked how old he is now - guess it doesn't matter anyway as everyone had a nice time with plenty of chow and a great cake ..........Happy Birthday John ! !

While cruising the lanes earlier today I came across Steve Comellas' Hemi Dart - the paint and body on this car are beyond breathtaking - if you get the chance check this vintage racer out - it will knock your socks off - well done Steve ............
