Hi gang - I finally drug my tired bones to the track tonight and believe me when I came thru the gates I couldn't believe my eyes .The place is packed - in the last few years I can't remember it being this full - tommorrow morning I'll take some high up shots of the pits and you'll see what i'm talking about .

In my absence Ken was kind enough to fill in - not sure where he found the time ....well you know how it is when you're on the Provisional Pole and what with the autograph sessions and appearances and all . Thanks Ken ......and you better not dock me for today because as you can see I'm working overtime tonight .And oh BTW you're looking pretty sporty in that new ride - better thank Anthony a bunch ! ! !

I'm doing this in spurts as the Internet tonight is terrible - it keeps booting me off .

The ride here was plenty eventful - rain - thunderstorms - wind - heat - humidity .....you name it and it happened on the way here .It got so bad at one point I spent some time in a rest area - it was quiet and peaceful listening to the rain on the coach roof .Ah - thats livin' .............

I can't finish up tonight without talking about fuel a little as I stopped on Route 73 just outside of Berlin at the Valero station to see my friend Punjab and get some of his inexpensive diesel -I cant believe its .35 to .45 cents a gallon cheaper here in New Jersey and Punjab even puts it in .

See you folks in the AM -- I'm told there is a possibility that many rounds will be run tomorrow as bad weather is expected Sunday ........whatever happens ClassRacer.COM will keep you up to date ......................later .
