Folks, you know the saying, if Jack did not have bad luck he wouldn't have any luck at all. Lets hope its not as bad as it looks. If Jack can't make the Maple Grove trip, don't worry I will fill in. I can't give you the live reporting like Jack, he has a style all his own, but I will do my best.

The first shot is a picture of the Brew Crew. As you can see these guys a great when you need a hand. They gather up all the chairs, make sure they have a good view, and then talk you through any troubles you may have. Are they not the best or what?

The rest of the pictures are brought to you by our own Ed Fernandez.

The slow cars did great today! Billy Nees won his matchup by .003, Chapman won, Zippy got around Ed by .001, and I had a .004 pkg in the Turismo! Unreal. Used up the luck bank all in one shot, but looking forward to tomorrow.

Lots of red lights and reeeeally late lights in Super Stock. Best run of the round was the PC Richard team cars. Someone actually asked "will they race for it?". YES! They're both .007, Fetch takes .006 and breaks out .003, with the boss dead-on behind him. The best part? Seeing Fetch rolling up the return road with a big grin on his face, even though he lost.

S/G car wrecked in the first pair, and they pulled the plug. Incident was well past the finish line. Check DRC for any details... I hadn't heard any concrete details. We're back to the top of the order with S/ST in the morning - said they'd work S/G in later. Gonna be a long day tomorrow.

I'm surprised at how busy I've been all weekend, despite only making three laps so far. I've no idea what I've done, but been fun catching up with old friends and reminiscing with people I don't know. ;-)

Jack,

Sorry to hear about your TA! I tried to make it back, but got hung-up in traffic. Hopefully we can "catch-up" tomorrow.

Be safe!

Good morning - Well its Sunday and most racers still in are chomping at the bit to get going -- and fast because there is bad weather coming in today - later on this afternoon it will rain again - officials surely will hustle racers thru rounds this morning as they are already behind because of the early shutdown last evening - lets all hope for a timely and safe finish today .

Took a few pics this morning - the sky and sea were angry for sure - bad stuff on the way ! ! !

In a little less than two hours we'll get going again - stick around - ClassRacer will take you thru the day ..............

Feel bad for the person who paid for those engines.
