[Jack Matyas]

Good morning and welcome to the Dodge 'extended stay' Nationals - At 8:45 this morning we'll try again to run the Sportsman side of this race as the Pro's finished last night along with the Alcohol cars - all that and even Comp is down to two cars .I can't say I haven't had fun but on the flip side it'll be nice to get back to my office - the moment I win or lose this race it's back there for me and it won't come soon enough .

As I sit here enjoying some tea and Biscotti I look back on the last five days to thoughts of the friends I talked to and spent time with and the new friends I made - this sport isn't just about cars or even racing .I wouldn't trade that time for anything.I must go home soon anyway as I'm out of clean underwear - yeah, I know - way too much information .

All that and the boss will be here along with Larry&Patsy to keep you folks up to speed on who is crowned champion of the 2016 Dodge Nationals .

Round one coming up ............

PS- Late last night the 'Kingpin' and Mark Markow pulled in - late for the Nationals but very early for the Dutch .
