Mike - Have an easy drive - Saturday is to nice but a bit breezy and Sunday is to be perfect according to the forecasters ..................And since you haven't been here since '95 you'll love the improvements .

I know he's not a S/SS but I was looking forward to talking with Gary Laird, the S/G turtle back Chevy in the tech line picture, at the Sportsman Spectacular at VMP this week-end. Hope to see him some next year. Great looking/running Gasser. Good luck.

About 3 pm they gave up for the day, it just ain't happening, drizzle etc. They had us ready and then more drizzle.

We are cooking lasanga in the motorhome and fixing my broke trans from indy in the trailer. A little of everything goin' on in the pits.

Talking Re: Live from the 40th annual "Pennsylvania Dutch Classic"

Good morning - Rigs are rolling in at a rapid pace this morning - a really good sign - I just don't know where they are going with them .Maybe the grass pits are better than I thought .

Overcast and a bit breezy this AM best describes things - but no rain and hasn't since around 2 this morning.The ground is wet and I'm not hearing the Jet on the track - they must know more than me about what is coming---another front is to come thru early this afternoon and after that we have clear sailing thru the weekend - we'll see .

Back in a bit with the latest ..........

9:30 and the jets are rolling on the track.
They usuall wont waste the fuel unless they are fairly confident of running some cars.

The rain has returned, there is a bunch of scattered rain cells that are going thru, I am crossing my fingers for this afternoon. The paved sections of the pits are full, they are putting rigs on any dry spot, there is still room, have not seen anyone stuck

I knew when we left tues night that we could be seeing alot of rain, but we arestill enjoying ourselves, Lotsa laughs and good food at the LaBrecque motorhome last evening.

Question Re: Live from the 40th annual "Pennsylvania Dutch Classic"

10:40 update - We were minutes away from starting when the skies opened up - even if it stopped it would be hours to dry the track again and with more coming this afternoon any racing today is not looking possible .............
