There's not a time I haven't seen Bender in line first! My money is on Bender!

Yes, I was the promoter of the Dave Stine and about mid-afternoon a large darkness crossed over the track, and I looked into the field and noticed the eclipse of the "Fat Girl" had arrived in the field.

Any report on how wet it is out there? Hoping everything is dry by the time they start parking tomorrow.

Good morning - Parking started this AM - should have been at 8am but someone decided that 7:20 was close enough and a lot of folks looked like they were in the shower when it started .As for the parking there wasn't much direction - head out to where the cows hang out and park was pretty much the order of the day .The ground isn't too bad considering all the rain we had in the last few days - I don't see anyone getting stuck here during or after the event.

On the weather side it's pretty much a nice deal right now with it being in the low seventies and extra sunny and blue skies - can't ask for much more.

Later ........

PS- for those of you wondering it was Bob & Penny Bender who were first in line ! ! !

So it's a slow news day - get car out -clean it and charge the batteries then head to the scales - come back and fill the fuel and it's time for lunch.

In keeping with the free t-shirt theme look at the pic below ----what's missing??????
