Very cool. I was wondering if anyone was reporting there this weekend. I'll be there videoing tomorrow and Saturday. Hopefully can stop and say hi sometime this weekend.

For races attending the LVD divisional this weekend, Stop by the "30th Anniversary ASRA Sponsor Sign" and help yourself to a bottle of "Cold Ice Water" in the BIG White "Coffin Cooler".

Well - the test n tune is just about over- for those of you who missed it you didn't miss a thing - hot & ugly with a headwind .......nice combination for going slow .Our man Marc La Brecque - the race sponsor got into another competitors water and just missed him while spinning around - he had minimal damage to the his GT truck and with a little banging out on the sheetmetal and some new rubber he's good as new .

Tommorow looks good .........ClassRacer will be there for you .Has anyone seen the boss ? I heard he was here but ..........no sleepy pictures this weekend for me .

Glad to hear Marc is OK.
Race cars can be fixed.

Good morning --- And Brrrrrrrr - this was a get up and turn the furnace on deal as the temperature is a bit nippy at 55 degrees . With plenty of humidity - 66% - ( that will more than likely burn off ) and no barometer (29.2's ) its again not going to be a fast day but at this moment we have a final DA at under 1200 ' .

We'll start this race in a couple of hours .........The boss is here and both of us will get you some pics ......

One last thing - Marc LaBrecque fixed his truck with the help of Mark Markow (owner-Markow Race Cars ) and made two very clean check-out passes before the test n tune shut down last evening .Well done boys .........

Good morning everyone, well Jack filled you in on the numbers so I will make it short.

I took the picture of Vinny Barone's pit on the way in. He was setup early and looks like he will have all three cars running this race, not sure who is driving the roadster this race.

The other photo is the pits in the field. There are basically two place to park. Close the the track and in the back field. The back field is not bad, its still close to the staging lands, and as long as there is no heavy rain its a nice grassy place to park. They also have a stream running behind the field, its a great place for the kids to cool off and have fun.

As you can see by the arrow, Jack is hiding from me. I think he was ducking me, but I found him last night anyway.

Well I tried to make it short.
