So If you are a fan of Class racing this is the one not to miss. If the weather will be good records will fall, get the popcorn it should one heck of a show!

Already seen in the pits was a self check to make sure the car would pass tech with flying colors

I'll see you guys bright and early tomorrow morning!

What about a young man from Fultonham NY., John G. Shaul, is he there?

Mike Delahanty · 10-05-2016, 08:26 PM

There will be another reporter at the Dutch - I drove in from Michigan today and just dropped the trailer. The last time I raced here was the 1992 Keystones. It's great to be back.

Here's a shot of me from 1974 at the Grove.

Still lots of space in the pits.

A big thank you to all the guys that helped us get our trailer ready for the trip home. The track was kind enough to allow the freight truck in so we could offload the axle at the trailer. The axle will go in their scrap pile and should be recycled. Again Thanks.

Mike it looked like you flat towed here years ago. Is that Alan Reinhart's future car in the background?

Now lets get back to why we are here, Records, no AHFS, racing, fellowship, eating, adult beverages, and some big time fun. It will be fun to watch racers defend their record while other racer are trying to make the record there own. Of course the buzz in the pits is who and if anyone will go in the seven's.

Air is 50.3 degrees, 92%, 29.73 barometer as of 6:29AM. I will let ya'll do the math, I have already put my socks and shoes on.

Larry, yes I think most of us started with a tow bar. I still remember "moving up" to tow hubs - and no more crawling under the car to pull the driveshaft. And the tow vehicle was a short box Chevy pickup with a 455 Olds swap. It would smoke the tires from a stop with the car in tow. We've all come a long way.
