In less than four hours (11 AM EST ) the first pair of Top Fuel cars are to go down the Raceway Park surface but I can tell you it doesn't look terrific at this moment .Very cloudy and overcast -- the same as its been for the last few days and getting old fast -- I'd rather be typing Sunny and warm -- needing the heat on in the coach last night is not very June like at all .

Speaking of coaches our resident 'Coach King' - Mark LeBreque from Diamond RV - got to help his new gal pal Melanie Troxell with a fridge problem yesterday and between that and winning first round was on cloud nine all day...............even I couldn't burst his bubble !

Bumped into Andy Kinash yesterday and he looked great -- and will be making his 'comeback' shortly....

Last night they rocked-on at the Morehead / Ford bash into the very wee hours -- even the rain didn't slow those folks up............

I'd love to be telling you some juicy stories about racing or even things that went on during teardown (there was none ) but its just not to be --- maybe later ............

That paint job was Paul Petracones' idea he used to own it before Brian Oakes bought it then sold it to Jimmy and his son.

Update -- 10:20 EST -- Track drying going on along with Pro driver intros -- at least its not raining - fans are now starting to file in -- Sportsman are mostly sleeping in this morning as they won't be out on the track for hours .......

We are off and running. Top Fuel just completed round 1. SS not scheduled for their next round until after rd 3 of pros. Not sure if stock gets out earlier than SS.
