Finally its Thursday and in an hour or so we'll hit the track .Very sunny this morning with the fog lifting off the tree lines rapidly ..........temps in the low sixties and a nice barometer (29.77 at the local airport) but here's the bad news - humidity is near 97% and they are calling for thunderstorms this afternoon with the possibility of hail along with them . Sure hope those Pro's like playing ball in the rain tonight .We'll just have to make the best of our runs this morning -- not as much "fooling around" as usual -- guess its 1100' instead of 1000 .Like the big guy in California says --" I'll be back"................

PS--Plenty of rigs just pulling in this morning - this economy has everything screwed up - racers seem to be working that "extra" day to help pay for things . Can anyone remember when Stock/Superstock didn't have full fields at the Keystones ?
