Live from Earlville!! Division 5 points race
 

"On the Road Again". I feel just like Willie Nelson. After getting home from Indy on Sunday evening, unloading dirty laundry, dumping the motorhome, playing with the grandkids, doing payroll, paying bills and going to the grocery, we are back on the road again.

We left after work yesterday and drove straight on up to Earlville and arrived here at 2:30 this morning. And Al & Bev Provoast would be proud of us. We were #2 in line. So we are now inside and parked. There are actually a lot of cars already here left over from their racing last weekend. And a few stopped over from Indy. I haven't been out yet, but I will let you know who's here a little later. Tech starts at 3 this afternoon.

Mr. Bill Cassells stopped by this morning and welcomed us here. As usual this is one of the friendlier places to go. He said there is a racer appreciation dinner here on Friday night. This is a place that appreciates the racer and makes you want to come back year after year.

Well I am going to get some things put away and then go out exploring.

More later.

No Jack, it is not raining here in Iowa. In fact it is a little hot and humid. There is a breeze blowing and it is nice here. I took a few pictures this afternoon. Hope you enjoy them.

This is the view from the backside of the scoreboards. Nice house up on the hill. The tower is to the right. Racetrack actually runs downhill.

I have never seen a portable shower house. This is sitting when you first pull in to the track.

Patsy thanks for the live updates, really enjoyed your posts last week from Indy. I'm leaving in a few minutes and should be up there late tonight. There was a 40% chance of rain at the beginning of the week for the weekend but it looks like thats gone now. Should be a great weekend!!
