Glad you two made it. Looking forward to your reports. Good luck!!!

Well we arrived here around 4:30 PDT. This time is hard to get used to. It is now 8:30, and we are ready for bed and it is way too light outside!

Well, Wallace was parking us, so not knowing where to go, we just asked for a good spot. Well, Wallace (bless his heart), gave us a spot right at the end of the track on a gravel road (dusty). We only have to go the distance of the road course (up and down hills) to get to staging. So anyway, Larry says he can win from anywhere!! But if you come out and want to go "slumming", come on down. On the plus side, tho, it is flat and level and right next to the track so we can see what's going on.

We met a few stock/superstock guys so far, so I will post more later.

Glad you got here ok! It was a record breaking day heat wise,,90 degrees officially at Sea-Tac airport,,,broke the record from 1953! Sorry to hear about the dusty road pitspace,,hopefully the water trucks will do their job. Don't know if you can get out and do a little sight seeing while you're here, but it'd be cool if you could. The Seattle waterfront, the Pike Place Market and go up the Space Needle are fun places and things that come to mind.
Our hottest day of the year is projected for tomorrow, but it won't be near as bad as what you were in last week.
Have a good day....................Danny Durham

FYI, Fletch left his house at 6:30 Tuesday morning. He's bedding down tonite in Montana with only 675 miles to go, what a job he has and an awesome chore of driving, a magnificient drive that he's done by himself. He may need some help to walk around when he get's there though !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tell me again, Don Kennedy, how much advantage the touring Sportsman has??????????

Trip is close to 2800 miles !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I told him that when the drag racing thing doesn't work out anymore he could always be a 'long haul truck driver' LOL Poor Bastard. LOL

Thanks to Terry Grosz and the other folks for putting on the barbque on Sat. Night. Please someone mention their names. I am sorry, I can't remember them. Also thanks to Terry and Sam for the wine and dill pickles. They were great. Also thanks to Tom Meyer and his wife for the Nebraska raspberry wine.
