Talk about a rude greeting - at around six this morning Mother Nature decided that we needed to be wet and let go of a hard downpour.We certainly didn't see that coming but the good news is that a few minutes ago the Sun popped out and we're on our way to drying .

Now about racing - yesterday was terrific with good races all day and today should be more .I must admit being in a car racing would have been more fun than behind a lens but sometimes you just have to make the best of a bad situation .Racers yesterday reached very deep to bring out their best performances and made for a super show to watch .

In just a few hours Stock and SuperStock will be out for round one .The weather today isn't the mineshaft conditions we've had the last few days-68 degrees with 69% humidity and .49 VP with the barometer at 29.78 and a final DA of 1500 feet..

How about the mad Hawaiian getting some new duds .He was in rare form after loosing a close one in the class final .

And since Kenny didn't like having me for a neighbor he has been kind enough to pick out next years spot for me and I'm not thrilled with the location pictured below .He blames me for everything ....hmmmmm

Later..........

S/S round one is completed and was pretty much the normal fare - with one exception -- I'm now left with hope that there is still plenty of time left for me thanks to one of my heros -seventy-eight year old Sam Biondo who is driving his son Peters' Hatari Firebird this weekend comes out swinging with an .017 light and moves on to round two.Way to go my friend ...............

Special thanks to John Gray, Bruce Noland and Sterling Simmons (now that's a brain trust right there!) who helped me try to get my car ready for the second round (a couple of cylinders went cold). Unfortunately, their efforts were to no avail but were much appreciated.

Good morning everyone, I's sure most of you know there are a only two rounds left in Stock and Super Stock. We had a round robin session yesterday evening. Here are some random photos as the evening progressed.

Not only does Jack do the live reports, he cooks also. I guess you can say he is a "Jack" of all trades.
