Live from the 39th annual Pennsylvania Dutch Classic

[Jack Matyas]

I couldn't do it - nope , it didn't matter how I felt the weekend couldn't go by without spending at least one day at the Classic and am I glad already that I did - the drive here was just Fall perfect in every way - not to mention that yesterday I dusted off one of my hot rods for the trip . OK, you you were left out in the cold pretty much this week as all the ClassRacer reporters were MIA - Ken is in Atlantic City , Sal is in Oklahoma drying off , Larry is still peeved at the NHRA , don't know where Michael is this weekend -- I thought for sure he'd be here trying to sell his car -- and then there is me who has been on the sick list all week but God willing i'll make it thru the day and bring you up to speed on whats happening here .

Thanks to Nitro Joe and Jegs for the info they have provided the last few days .

Stock has just been called to the lanes for round 2 ..............

Home, unfortunately. I discovered just how far behind I was at work, and couldn't afford to take off Thursday and Friday. Even Wednesday I was ready to flip a coin on either taking the Turismo to the Dutch or to Montgomery for three $5K's and a $20K Footbrake, but reality set in, and did neither. I really feel like there might've been a 14.99 in the Turismo at Maple Grove this weekend!

Next weekend is a $3K/$5K Footbrake at Roxboro, and it's one of those places with a back-in burnout box that wouldn't work for the Turismo, so I took Saturday to do some much-needed work on bringing the Dust Devil out of retirement.



Hope you get feeling better Jack, and thanks for a day of Live reporting... how 'bout some pics of your hot rod?

And BTW.... have had two interested parties inquire about the Turismo since the Atco trip. Might end up being worthwhile after all (since I'll never see that entry fee money again).

Jack, We had plans to go to the "Dutch" but ran out of parts. Now I'm waiting to see how the rules change before I spend any more money on my "Dead Horse"

Thanks for the reports.
