Jack you brought Ed with you. tahnks for the update and good luck. Claude

This morning I feel like I'm at home - why you ask ? These folks here in D3 take this deal just as serious as we do - by last night the place had a zillion racers here and this morning they're lined up waiting to get in and claim their pit space .

I couldn't have picked a worse weekend to visit -- at this moment - 6:50 am the DA is already just a tick under 3500' and climbing . Don't they know this is Columbus not Denver ? Today the heat index is to be 105 -109 degrees .

Larry -- While you and Patsy are off honeymooning I'll take care of "your" reporting in D3 - sooner or later we'll cross paths.........
Claude - No one named Ed is with me .
Joe -haven't seen the Nicewangers yet .
Myron - Stop by later for a tour -fridge is working fine - I'll buy you a drink - you'll need it later .
Dave - get your butte out of the house and join us .
Mack -how's that loud car coming?
Eric- 725 miles ? That my friend is the price of fun .And no its not Dave Barton .
Dennis - I'm still carring around that chunk of aluminum thats yours - maybe I can leave it here .

Hey Jack. We looked at the weather and decided to pass this one up. It's only about a three and a half hour run for me but, I've been at Columbus in similar conditions and it just is not fun. BTW make sure and put an extra 100 lbs in the trunk for first round tomorrow. By the time they call you for first round the track will be slick as snot.

Jack,

Just keep those D-1 Super Gas Guys away from the Snack Bar!! You get Iggie, Goldman and especially Schurman together and we may have a an episode of Cops on our Hands!!
Haha Good Luck too all the D-1 guys and Thanks again Jack for the reporting!!

379 miles for me, door to door. And no tolls! I-68 is hard on the equipment though.

It's stick shift row where we are parked, me, B. Wenzel, G. Tompa, J. Martens, Donny Beeler, Dave Walter and on........

Jack, I'm looking forward to the heads up run between you and Wilks with the GTO's. Have fun, stay cool, good luck, and have a safe race.

A voice of much experience. This coming from the man that won a National Event there.

SuperStock just got their first hit -- not only was it slow but the left lane is junk - several racers tried to hit the tree - as usual they did nothing - yes , I was on the starting line to witness it .

Did I mention the weather -- the DA is past 4100' and it's only 10:45 am .And believe or not the skies are getting dark .

Stock is out fourth -- by the time we get out nobody will care ...............And for those of you hardcore fans - take note - National Record runs are today only ..................

Ran into Billy Baker this morning and had a nice chat - made me remember all the good times I had with his dad -- I sure miss him ..............Dick was one great guy ! !
