Jack,
Great to hear from you and yes I know who Sally Star was- I watched Her on TV in the late 50's and 60's just after Howdy Duty ! Sure gave away my age there.
I grew up in Audubon NJ before I left to explore the world.
Clouding up pretty good now !

Where's the "backway"....
where's the construction?

Tom,

If your coming from route 73, your okay. If coming from route 206, then you will hit construction.

Just got back from the track, the inside parking (past the gate) is about 70 to 80% full. Still some open spots past the speed shop by the sign but that maybe taken by now. On the outside part where the lone piece of asphalt is the trucks facing the gate is pretty much all taken up. Up against the old wooden grandstands are empty and nobody has braved to park in the dirt just yet. See everybody Friday and hopefully everyone brought their boat and a rain jacket for Thursday cause it's looking UGLY!!

Yo Chuck, it's Howdy Dowdy. Mr. Bluster told me to tell you!

Since my over paid live reported is missing in action, I will give everyone a quick update on today's test and tune. I don't see it happening, it just started to rain again as I shot this picture of a warm and cloudy morning and the rain had stop for about an hour.

As soon as I walk into the MH is started to rain again.

The local weather calls for Friday clearing and a nice, but windy weekend.
