7:30 AM EST ---- For those of you waiting for an early word as to today's weather here's the deal -- get on the road - it hasn't rained most of the night and isn't now -- seems like we're drying out - the Sun coming out would be nice but let's not push it .Wow --- I can't believe my eyes - there is a Security guy in the staging lanes drying off his four door Focus -- a very welcomed sight ! Anyway its overcast with the temp in the lo 60's but for a change looking up -- so like Bob Barker would say - "Come on down " . Sure hope I haven't steered you folks wrong.....This weather has been as fickle as a Gemini woman ......Later............

One last thing -- Today is Gloria Ley's 50th birthday so if you're here and see her make sure to wish her well .Today she'll be working the lanes so keep an eye out for her . Fifty Gloria really -- David is sooooooo lucky and he has told me so many times in the last couple of years .
PS -- Gates are now open and the first one in was SS# 176 -- you know who that is don't you ? Many , many racers waited till today to show up -- space is now filling up fast ........
