You're in for a treat this weekend (after you get past the construction!) At Pittsburgh Raceway Park in New Alexandria, PA, as you'll get a double-whammy... Not only a Saturday Pro-Am and a Sunday Sportsman Nat'l with national event contingency and a qualifying spot for the Tournament of Champions on the line, but also dueling reporters! Tom Sheehan and I have squared off, right off the bat in the first test n' tune run of the night. We'll have a S/SS gamblers tonight. Up on the hill, I'm showing 77 deg, 60%, 28.57B, 3328' DA, as of 5:40 pm
We're in PA, so maybe we'll get Matyas out here too! More later.

Got a lucky win 1st rnd win in the gamblers against a neat blue and black C/SA RoadRunner. Only about 12-20 S/SS in the race... Didn't get a firm count.
Getting cool out... Good! Need some air, cuz there's no barometer!

Heard that John Boyer, who won the recent Pro-Am at Jackson, won the Gamblers race last night.
Sunny skies and a barometer that's a tenth better than yesterday, which meant a tenth in ET for my lil' front driver! ![]()

44 cars in Stock. Got by first rnd over Ken Friedman, .028 and taking .009... Darroch over Gene Jordan, Klacik over Knott, Dave Turner with a red light win, Kieffer's red, Laverne Eberst over Frank Vincent's Mustang... 'Bout all I got to see...
Took loads of finish line photos of Super Stock, which I'll process and post when I get home.
