Good morning everyone,

It did rain most of the night, but unlike Jack's experience, for me it was just a steady light rain, about a half inch according to the weather channel. The wind made it seem like it was heavier and for most of us it meant we should pull the awnings in, I guess Jack felt differently.

Jack, reception.... really. You know there is a thing called satellite. After all these years you are still using rabbit ears. Maybe when you head over to the outlets you can find a bargain on a satellite dish.

The rain is just starting to let up, but it does look gloomy for the sportsman getting down the track today. If they start drying the track now, it could happen, but I don't hear or see any equipment on the track.

Jack. Satellite is you friend 🐰

Larry Hill · 09-30-2016, 09:04 AM

Jack if you would go get Eric beagles and get some fresh rabbit ears, I know reception would be much better.

You can tell Its been raining for days, Ken and Jack are starting to act as siblings.

Believe it or not the NHRA has equipment out on the track - mostly vacumns but they are trying .It's very cloudy and windy at this moment but you never know ......

Is it just our radio, or does listening to the track station make you hungry for Mexican food??

Since it looks like a washout,maybe you guys can take a ride into Philadelphia. I'm sure Jack knows his way around.

It hasn't rained in the last half hour and the Safety Safari has brought out every piece of equipment on the property to dry the place out .It's still cloudy and cool - like 58 degrees and it will take some time but at least they are trying .

Thanks for the visual update.
Anyone know what's with the house out past the end of the track?

As Jack said, it was ugly last night. Around 2:30 am, I was rudely awackened from my less than comfortable air mattress, as my trailer was rocking and shaking !!! I thought oh crap I should have put the canopy up.... Tried opening the door and the wind ripped it out of my hand and bounced it off the trailer... I grabbed it, shut it, went back in and figured it is what it as at this point... A minute later, and my canopy lost its battle with life at Mohnton, PA
