First time I have seen track prep problems there. It would have been nice if they had stopped us and worked on it instead of just letting us waste several hundred dollars and a long hot sticky weekend. The starting line crew could surely see the lack of rubber there, all the racer's crew members up there saw it. Previously had my two best 60' times, one in each lane. Been there before and the track was fine. Pat is gone, right?

Going bang! Bang ! Bang! Down I10 when the bracket on one end of the passenger side power shade/sun visor in my motor home broke. Had to pull over and take it down. Don't yet know what that is going to cost. Diesel was $3.89 a gallon there, got back home and topped it off for $3.55 a gallon. Roads worse than Oklahoma. Didn't think I would ever see that.
