Live fron the "Pennsylvania Dutch Classic"
 

Just like Bob Frey would say - today was a "Chamber of Commerce " day -- Sunny and beautiful for sure .Lex Dudas and company has this place looking sharp -- swept , manicured and neat as a pin .As for the track -- well I wish I could repeat some of the numbers I heard from the private test 'n tune but because I didn't witness them I won't -- speaking with a couple of racers who ran today I was told the track was superb and they should be able to duplicate those numbers tomorrow .

Racers we haven't seen lately -- Tommy Ciccarone ( pictured below ) with son Jon-Jon making laps with their Comp car ( and looking good doing it I'm told ) .Also our own Classracer personality Ed Fernandez was seen signing autographs and even has his racer with him -- welcome back Eddie. And former Division One racer Evan Smith decided to grace us with his presence this weekend but "forgot" to bring his racecar - is this a working weekend or did you really miss us Evan ? Or was it just too hot in Florida and you needed a break ...........

By closing tonight there were almost a hundred and fifty teams here already -- doesn't anyone work anymore ?

Also pictured below is the new '05 Mustang F/SA of Anthony Bongiovanni ( don't even ask me to spell his name again ) -- you don't have to like Mustangs' to like this horse -- its a beauty ( the pics I took don't do it justice ) . This is Anthony's first stocker and did he get it right - take a minute in the lanes or in the pits and check it out .BTW-- this is a "regular" engine stocker - ( three valve ) - no SuperCharger here -- just 281 inches with Fuel Injection and a five ( yes, 5 ) speed automatic ! !

Work? what is work? LOL Should be a busy day tomorrow, No lines and no waiting to get in at 5:30 today but there was still a pretty steady flow of rigs right up to 8:00 cut off.

Jack I love your updates I am looking forward to more of them as the weekend goes on. I am not a big Ford guy, but I do like that Mustang, very nice looking.

Re: Live fron the "Pennsylvania Dutch Classic"
 

Jack, you did spell Anthony's last name correctly. But, the car is a 2008 not an 05. That beautiful Mustang was built by B&B out of Hohenwald Tennessee. This is Anthony's debut in Stock Eliminator, so stop by and make him feel welcome.

Jack,

Your writing is getting better and more interesting all the time and I really look forward to your reports. Keep up the good work.

Hey Jack, make sure you check up on Joe Franco from time to time, he is trying to shake down his new Cavalier this weekend in GT/FA. He may need some help. See you on Friday. Good luck.

Keep 'em coming Jack, love to follow along. This week it'll be from the D4 event in Noble. Looks like it might be quick @ both events!

Biggest stand out was Gary Richard listed in C/SA going 9.91 there was also a D/Sa car that was 1.50 under I did not recognize the name Hoepfully some live reports will be in soon to let us know who is in what class. Thanks to all that are reporting
