I hear trucks rolling in this morning - hopefully a bunch because as of 5pm yesterday there were only 107 entries on the grounds - seems like racers waited to leave late to arrive here this morning and will trickle in all day .We should get our two shots in today and possibly a third .At any moment I expect to hear the Division One Jet firing up to dry the dew off the track - as you can see on the grass pics below there is plenty of it .
Later ..................
Jack you're making me homesick-wish I was there!
