Whew ........and good morning ! ! I really wanted to do this last night but to tell the truth I was just too damn tired .Yeah , I know the boss is going to rag on me some ( or should I dare say - some more ) but by the time I got to put my baby in the trailer ( under her own power I might ad ) it was past ten PM .And then till I called home and did the good husband thing it was just more than I could do -so I went nighty-night .

Yesterday I can tell you was hard - as many of you have noticed I'm not 25 anymore ( but I still think I am ) so doing teardown after setting a record ( what the hell was I thinking - we're in the New York wilderness ) isn't my idea of a fun time .I can't thank my life long friend enough - Tommy Goldman has bailed me out of spots before and this is another of his many talents .And thanks to the Division One Certification Team - me setting a record here wasn't on their "to do" list for yesterday but they managed to get me done .

In a few hours we'l resume quailifing with Stock going out first ...........BTW , here's a few pics I managed to take along the journey yesterday ........later .

Great Job Jack, and yes your over 40 now so slow down................lol..

Nice job on getting the record Jack.

Great job on doing the reporting too, your boss owes you a raise.

BTW, there's a guy in a green shirt in one of your pictures standing by
Gary "Capt. Morgan Himself " Parker's Camaro, could it be " Mr. High Flying "
Barry Parker ?????

Good Luck & Happy 4th of July Everyone.
