Day 2 has started wth the temps in the low forties and dewey ... not very nice racing weather but at least its not raining yet ...but by lunch it will arrive and last most of the day .Rest of the weekend looks better and we're hopeful .

Yesterday Steve Sawka brought out his 69 Camaro to the test n tune and went a respectable 9.74 .Bobby Bender switch to a F/SA ride driving Don Hilgas' Duster and was seen smiling all afternoon .Almost seventy signed up for the test- not a bad turnout .

Tech will open in minutes ........ gotta go - later .

Well its about time that you mention him, now you just have to take a picture of the car and post it

I second that Steve.

But as we all know the "live reporter" will come thru once he's asked.

BTW. Nice Pass Steve.
