[Jack Matyas]

For those of you wondering its a cool crisp morning here at Atco - perfect Fall weather for a race - the jet is running and final preps are being made by both Joe Sways' staff and the NHRA team led by Director Lang .Start is to be in a little more than half an hour and plenty of racers are out parading to the scales etc .

Couple of final things - I was a little late getting going this morning thanks to Gloria Ley - why ? She was serving hot sticky buns with walnuts - just can't pass them up .Second there was plenty to talk about this morning - but i'm here partly because Kenny promised year end bonus checks to the reporters ( listening Sal ) who are in attendance today and partly because I just couldn't stay home .

Back soon ........As usual ClassRacer will be here for you .
