Had some things go wrong here -- still no first rounds ...and its getting darker and windy .New ladders coming out -- it was a computer glitch .Alcohol coming yet ............

Final tally of entries -- a little more than 20 less than last year -- total in the 560 range -- not bad , not bad at all ! ! !

BTW -- Stockers a whopping 117 entries ..............

Finally we got through the first round of S/S - the usual stuff -- breakage -- oildowns etc-- many racers I watched were afraid of the weather and ran out bigtime .Also saw several cases where a racer was being chased -never looked back and ran out when his challenger was nowhere close . Its real easy to armchair quarterback isn't it ?And then there was Michael Iacono who didn't stage in time and was timed out -- why -- I wasn't about to ask .

Alcohol finished their round and comp is "out on the field" as I type .If the weather holds out everyone will have round two this evening ..............
