Talk about a beautiful morning -- this is it ! ! ! Sunny w/ blue skies and a slight breeze -- 68 degrees w/ 49 % humidity and burning off and a barometer of 29.73 gives a final DA of just over 1400 ' -- not bad -- not bad at all .

Tech is open and my "ride" is due here any moment ( towing only - no starting of engines until 10am today ) .

Attention in the pits -- anyone that Billy Leber owes money to now is the time to collect - after a Class Win at Indy and going a few rounds Billy came into a nice windfall - that's right moolah -- as in cash -- longtime GF Cheryl signed him up for a bunch of DRAW tickets and just when things were looking bleak after losing the nice DRAW folks came around to let him know he won the 50/50 deal for big money -- 3500 clams was his end - so when they come around the next time to sell you some don't be bashful -- buy a bunch as the next winner could be you .

Lastly - pictured below is Ken Meile - its a speed secret -- changing brake pads .
