[Jack Matyas]

Wow - I can't believe it - this is the 41st annual "Pennsylvania Dutch Classic " - where have the years gone .I'm not sure how many of these I've missed but it can't be many .This years event should be a thriller - great weather is forcast for the next few days ( yeah, I've said that before but it really does look good for this week ) - many side event going on this week - Hemi Challenge - Class races - record runs and more .

If you are attending and should run into Gary Richard this week let him know how important his sponsoring this race is ----------------------- many thanks to Sony / PCRichard.com for helping put this event on .

Jack If you see Gary please thank him for us, he does a lot for us racers. Good luck, go fast, and be safe to all! I want to feel the earth rotate just a little faster when the Hemi shootout is on.

You've got that right, would expect Westcott to show up given the great weather and the AH record will probably take a beating....unbelievable cars.

I just saw a GT/L and GT/M car both go 1.60 under. Are they in the right classes or am I just in for a world of pain on Saturday morning?

Good morning everyone, its a cool 55 with bright sunshine. It does feel comfortable because of the sun.. Here are the weather numbers for this morning.

Temp 55
Humid 36%
Bar 29.68
DA 430ft

I don't have any numbers on stock or super stock but it is quick. You can go to http://go1320.com/ for live timing of this race.

Bobby, I think they have some racers in the wrong class, I know in my case they do.

I have not seen Hawk out for a while, it was nice to see the Shelby out again. As you can see the tech line was long, looks to be a good turnout for the week.
