Jack, It looks like you surely won't need your jacket this week end. Local weather here in Columbus saying mid 90s with heat index of possibly over 100 tomorrow. Can we all come by the new RV to get in out of the heat. Might want to check the frig to see if it is keeping beverages cold too?

This morning I feel like I'm at home - why you ask ? These folks here in D3 take this deal just as serious as we do - by last night the place had a zillion racers here and this morning they're lined up waiting to get in and claim their pit space .

I couldn't have picked a worse weekend to visit -- at this moment - 6:50 am the DA is already just a tick under 3500' and climbing . Don't they know this is Columbus not Denver ? Today the heat index is to be 105 -109 degrees .

Larry -- While you and Patsy are off honeymooning I'll take care of "your" reporting in D3 - sooner or later we'll cross paths.........
Claude - No one named Ed is with me .
Joe -haven't seen the Nicewangers yet .
Myron - Stop by later for a tour -fridge is working fine - I'll buy you a drink - you'll need it later .
Dave - get your butte out of the house and join us .
Mack -how's that loud car coming?
Eric- 725 miles ? That my friend is the price of fun .And no its not Dave Barton .
Dennis - I'm still carring around that chunk of aluminum thats yours - maybe I can leave it here .

Hey Jack. We looked at the weather and decided to pass this one up. It's only about a three and a half hour run for me but, I've been at Columbus in similar conditions and it just is not fun. BTW make sure and put an extra 100 lbs in the trunk for first round tomorrow. By the time they call you for first round the track will be slick as snot.

379 miles for me, door to door. And no tolls! I-68 is hard on the equipment though.

It's stick shift row where we are parked, me, B. Wenzel, G. Tompa, J. Martens, Donny Beeler, Dave Walter and on........
