[Jack Matyas]

Good morning - today starts the zillionth edition of the race here at Cecil County Dragway and we're not off to a great start .Fog - in every direction - its starting to burn off but it will be a few hours till that happens .

Anyway after being here just one day I'm already bored as I have zero TV reception ( no Digital service and my Satalite is still "on the fritz" ) plus the Internet is so slow .......its gonna be a long weekend .

You want good news - not much to tell ( go ahead - shoot the messenger ) except that yesterday while doing some normal service before the test n tune my friend and expert chassis guy Tommy Goldman found some broken welds in my rear suspension that would have given me a very wild ride had I gone down the track so we took it apart and started looking for someone with a welder - then the lightbulb lit - find Johnny D ( John DiBartolomeo - Editor of Drag Racing Action magazine - S/Comp racer - and a super welder) with his new Lincoln welder setup and after Tommy and I took it apart Johnny had it welded up in no time flat .So much for dodging a bullet ........Did you ever notice how I can't seem to get thru a race weekend without some drama ?

You want weather ? How about 70 degrees with a whopping 81% humidity along with a 29.56 barometer comes out to around 2000' DA but that will all change as things burn out .Later ...........
