Last evening provided some real fun for this reporter as I was invited to have dinner with the 'Bender Family' - this was an old fashioned affair - one that reminded me of a time gone by - the one before motorhomes and enclosed trailers -- long before TV dishes and cell phones . The meal was prepared and cooked (and very well I might add ) on the back of someones ramp truck--- almost in the dark but it didn't seem to matter as everyone had a great time -- winners and losers -- and we all got to watch some great racing together - the way things used to be . Its been a very long time since I've had that much fun watching a race .My hats off to Bobby - Penny - Gary -Michelle - Bill - Ken .....well I forgot a bunch but you get it .All of this made me think of some friends I would see at every event - you'll remember too -- Stein - Cook - Welsh - Smith - Xakellis -- its always nice to remember 'back in the day' ................
Today's racing -- unsure is the best word at the moment .At this time its still dark out but plenty wet - not raining but but it would take some serious Sun to dry us out - I'm sure the NHRA and Cecil County staff will do their best to dry us out but more could be on the way -- we'll see .I'll be back a little later with an update .

Hey Jack, Thank You for stopping over. We always have a good time without all the frills. Taylors ramp truck and my trailer make great serving tables. We hope everyone will stop by and say "HI" when ever we go. Thanks again Jack.....................
