Live from Caygua,Ont.Canada-NHRA Micro Stratgegies Open

It finally stopped raining and there is a breeze but it will be awhile before we get going I'm sure ..............But it's only noon so we may be ok..........

[Jack Matyas]

Here is the plan for today - 1 time trial and go into eliminations with all races 1/8 mile because of the top end water probs - to start in an hour or so .

[Jack Matyas]

Good morning all - Today is it !!!! Looks like a Chamber of Commerce day out there and really its a great thing for everyone here .Why you ask - well it seems like we've been here forever and race #1 isn't getting done and #2 isn't started yet .Last evening we finally got in round one of race one - then the dew set in and that was that.Today hopefully all that will change .But somehow we have to continue round 2 of race one after racers get a time trial or two - probably two for race #2 and then continue race one .Whew !!!!Yes, its a little confusing plus somehow I feel we'll be spending another day in Canada tomorrow .........

All that and would you believe I got my first round win last evening here in thirty some years .

Then there is the long standing deal about qualifying and using a ladder first round - they did it here --- yippee and if there is a heads-up so what .Maybe that rule will go away with us in the States ........Thanks to the Canadian NHRA ! ! !

I'm not sure where I ended up qualifying yesterday but it was either # 2 or 3 as my ride did like the horrible air here.

Later we'll see how things shake out .........

Hi gang - And hello Ralph - writing this from the New York state thruway where I stopped to rest for a bit .Sorry that you felt like I wasn't doing my reporting as usual but today things got a little overwhelming for me .Sometimes every once in awhile I manage to go rounds while covering these events and today was one .

I've got a whole bunch of stories and pics that i'll share when I get time in the next few days - that's not my style but it is what it is.

Almost forgot - I did manage to get a runner-up in race one- hence the being busy .I can tell you for sure that going rounds at my age is a bunch but well worthwhile .

PS- I'll be back reporting in a few days at the Maple Grove Lucas Event .

Jack, thanks for making the trip to support D1 in Canada!…We wish that we could welcome more American racers to these events. Happy to hear that you were able to take a little more than memories back home.

Terrific job of multitasking; much appreciated.
