Sam, George and Buck will be there on Wed.


BTW, PA has about $0.22 more tax on diesel than other states.
I'm sure they are using it to keep up our superb highways and bridges !!

Good morning - The rain that was to show up last night never happened and so far this morning it looks OK - this really helps the drying out process ..............a little Sun would be nice ! !

Lets hope the weatherman continues to be wrong for the next couple of days about MG weather like he was for this weekend.
Here are Accuweather and NOAA weather links for the Grove.
http://www.accuweather.com/us/pa/rea...ils.asp?fday=2
http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick...2=-75.9877&e=0
At least it looks good after Thursday.
I'm anticipating a repete of last year,where we sat and waited for things to dry out.
which worked out OK except for only getting 1 hit on the track before Elims.

I hope I'm wrong!!

This is a more accurate forecast because it comes from the track area. Reading is technically about 10 miles away I believe. Forecast looks great with no rain but a cold saturday.

Now for my dumb question: If I am not coming until Thursday morning I just go right to the track and not to VF outlet, correct?

Sure would expect so, but since you have a small tow rig and trailer operation like me, they can throw you anywhere and not have to tow you out later! What time are you predicting first Qualifying hit will be for SS?

Call the D-1 office to be sure.

Why isn't Uncle Joe bringing it on Wednesday?
