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.

I don't know what would possess anyone to want to set a record at Lebanon Valley! You would think you would try it at Atco or Maple Grove. Congrats, you definitely earned it doing it there!

Glad to hear Marc didn't mess up his truck too bad!

Way to go Jack, congrats on the record and all your hard work!

Ed (the Flying Monkey) and I are heading over to the Valley to spectate today. Looking forward to seeing all of you.
(we think it's hysterically funny that you're complaining about the heat-
