Live from the 40th annual "Pennsylvania Dutch Classic"

[Dave Casey]

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.

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 .............

Seems that the storm that was passing thru has picked up some steam ...........

Hey my friends down at the Dutch, the sun just came out here in Hershey. So since I am only an hour away you should be brightening up soon. Hope you guys have plenty of energy that schedule will be pretty jammed if it rains off and on today.

Jack:

Sounds like you may be planning to build an arc???
Dennis Petras and I are coming down tomorrow morning,
shall we stop and pick up 12 of Dunkin's Finest Assorted??
BTW: The sun is out right now in P'Burg, so we'll bring
some of that tomorrow as well.
