Hey Jack! It's raining in Baltimore. Can you bring home a jar of sunshine? Stay away from those fast Hollywood women.
Those jokes about your age aren't fair. A WW-2 Vet should get more respect.LOL!!! Good luck.

Good morning all --- Its like they say --"the gangs all here" -- and boy are they ready . Lets get right to it -- we'll be out on the track in an hour or so and we've got us a very , very nice southern California weather front -- picture perfect as it can be - (and did I mention sunny and blue skies) - 55 degrees -- 64 % humidity and burning off fast -- 28.94 barometer and climbing with a DA of 915 -- if the Safety Safari has the place prepped we will go fast this morning .

The schedule calls for two qualifiers today and tomorrow Stock and SuperStock have rounds one and two -- I'll be back after the first lick and give you the "poop"................

PS -- Had breakfast this morning with Larry Maxwell / Dave Schmidt / Chuck Norton etc - - it was like a breakfast meeting of "Grumpy Old Men ".......good to see them.......later

Well , the honeymoon is over -- I "found" all the broken pieces from last weeks blow-up -- yep -they were on the opposite side of the engine -- we looked real good and never found anything but this morning at the finish line they reappeared -- popcorn and plenty of it.. I'll get back to ya.....

Jack took pictures of the carnage, if you've got a weak stomach you might not want to look once he gets them posted...... :-(

Turned out it wasn't as fast as it could have been -- still some respectable runs were made -- Bobby DeAmond showed with low ET and big speed --Q 2 coming up after the Pros .......
