Now Just like Last year ….Nice …a quick storm…Here it comes …there it goes. Dry the Track And Run.

I’m sitting in the office NOW and will be monitoring the site through out the day And tonight.

OK gang at about 12:45 …A Storm came out of nowhere and we took a short break.Then another popped up …And To make a long story short we got drenched. Its Still raining but Radar says it”ll stop soon. The Amount of Rain would Take too long to Dry the Track let alone the Pits…Plus a lightning strike hit something in the timing system that is being repaired now. Howie then announced the Dirt track races are cancelled for tonight. Oh Well Great Weather Forcast for Tomorrow.Plenty of Cars Teched in ,Have run numerous times. I would suggest Getting here Early. Neto will have run off extra Rounds to make up for today and Some guys Decided to stay away today….Again …….Come early.

IN the Pits Plenty of of just outragous Cars….Too numerous to mention. I’ll get some guys to post Photos.
