Hi gang - Well here we are again only this time its really,really nice at the track with temps in the low eighty range , low humidity and most of all - blue skies .Test n tune has just begun on the newly repaired Cecil County surface and that should make the fast car people happy .

Other news ------- would you believe there has been a Bob Bender sighting ????? That and he has brought along the 'fat girl'.Yeah , I know - to those who don't know thats not what we call Penny his wife but its his nickname for that huge white whale - his '70 Kingswood wagon that he races- all almost 2 1/2 tons of it .Welcome back Bob ! ! ! And Penny too .........

Believe it or not Ken is here this weekend for the second race in a row and has agreed to help out once again .........Hmmmmm - he must be planning on giving himself a huge Christmas bonus .

Photos on their way from the test n tune asap ..............later .

Lew, the weather is nice, warm but pleasant. The test and tune started about 2. Some cars were having issues with the starting line. I grab some shots early in the afternoon as people were getting teched and ready to test.

I'm headed back to the starting line to get some more photos, be back later.
