Talking Live from the 40th annual "Pennsylvania Dutch Classic"

Good morning - There is good news and bad this morning as the test n tune planned for today may be a bit soggy .I haven't left yet but will soon as it looks like I shouldn't hurry because of the rain falling at this moment .I'm fifty miles from the track but the storm is coming up the East Coast and is to last part of today and tomorrow in the AM .

This afternoon there should be periods of Sun before another front moves in according to the Philadelphia weather channel.

OK , I'll throw in some good news - the weekend looks like a winner as we're to have plenty of sunshine and temps near seventy .

I'll update again once I arrive at Maple Grove ........and please - no egg throwing or mooning as I'm only the messenger ! ! ! !

Well I've arrived - parked and going to tech .I can't believe it but the place is crowded - at least where I'm at .And get this its not raining - believe it or not and hasn't for the past two hours .And they are drying the track as I type - maybe the day isn't lost after all .

Later I'll post some pics and info if available ..........

Question Re: Live from the 40th annual "Pennsylvania Dutch Classic"

They had the track almost ready to go when it started to mist again - no activity at this time on their part .......we'l see .As you see from the pics tech is open and many are taking advantage of the downtime .

Mike - Have an easy drive - Saturday is to nice but a bit breezy and Sunday is to be perfect according to the forecasters ..................And since you haven't been here since '95 you'll love the improvements .

I know he's not a S/SS but I was looking forward to talking with Gary Laird, the S/G turtle back Chevy in the tech line picture, at the Sportsman Spectacular at VMP this week-end. Hope to see him some next year. Great looking/running Gasser. Good luck.

About 3 pm they gave up for the day, it just ain't happening, drizzle etc. They had us ready and then more drizzle.

We are cooking lasanga in the motorhome and fixing my broke trans from indy in the trailer. A little of everything goin' on in the pits.

Talking Re: Live from the 40th annual "Pennsylvania Dutch Classic"

Good morning - Rigs are rolling in at a rapid pace this morning - a really good sign - I just don't know where they are going with them .Maybe the grass pits are better than I thought .

Overcast and a bit breezy this AM best describes things - but no rain and hasn't since around 2 this morning.The ground is wet and I'm not hearing the Jet on the track - they must know more than me about what is coming---another front is to come thru early this afternoon and after that we have clear sailing thru the weekend - we'll see .

Back in a bit with the latest ..........

9:30 and the jets are rolling on the track.
They usuall wont waste the fuel unless they are fairly confident of running some cars.
