Wow - SS not out till after 2 pro rotations - would have thought it would be this AM.

In a half an hour we'll have start engines but as you can see from the schedule Kenny posted the S/S racers took another on the chin -- we all understand the Pro show must go on but -- anyway its an agressive deal for sure as the weather doesn't look very good for today with overcast skies at this moment looking like it could rain any second .

Round one of Stock yesterday was kind of a mixed bag with plenty of redlights -- many more than usual late lights and because of the big weather change a great many double breakouts -- and not many dead-ons .

Speaking of weather ------- here it is at this time ----- 30.03 barometer - 72 degrees ----- 63% humidity ---- and a final DA of around 1400 ' .........................later

We've got the steady rain here in central Ma. already, since about 11:00 a.m......more on deck here for tomorrow, unfortunately......hope it bypasses you folks in N.J......WJ

Almost forgot dept. - Best wishes to Amy Casey - daughter of Stock racer Dave Casey - Amy is getting married this weekend ............

As a little side note - some of the Diamomd RV Group were to attend the affair but were given "Special Dispensation" by their wives (who are attending) and are here at this race .

Today's the day -- yep , if you're still in today is what's considered the "big show" in front of family - friends and foe not to mention thousands of fans watching your every move on the track - maybe sign an autograph or two and plenty of questions for sure .

Oh and by the way what a super nice day it is -Sunny with the temp in the lo seventies already and plenty of humidity this early - what did you expect ? Its Summer in New Jersey ! ! ! Good news - the barometer is 29.75 -- bad news is the DA is up over 2000' before 8am .This will be a t-shirt day no doubt and that means plenty of great sights if you know what I mean ...........later .
