Hey kids - I'd love to tell you both Kenny and I are at E-town waiting on the semis to happen but it wouldn't be true .Not that both of us wouldn't rather be there but Kenny had to leave to take care of some important issues at home and me - well I just ran out of excuses on why I didn't leave Friday morning after I lost -that and I've got a huge "honey-do" list that I got started on at 7:15 this morning .One must remember there are more races coming and I was falling behind - and I hate hearing about it at dinner every night .

On to the race stuff - in Stock its a who's who deal - first we have Joe Lisa --# 5 in the world last year facing Don Pires Jr. - #7 in the world last year.Then we have the sentimental favorite -Sterling Simmons who has the bye this round .Oh - and did I forget to mention Sterlings class - that would be D/SA and if Mr.Lisa were to win this round we'd have a heads-up final .And Sterling had the faster horse in qualifing if that means any thing .

Then there's SuperStock - Anthony Bongiovanni with his mighty CobraJet will face last years Division One champ Lincoln Morehead .Along with this is Lil Joe Santangelo who will have the bye into the final .

Best of luck to those who are still in - many of us would love to switch places ..........

One last thing - I gotta shout out to Tommy Goldman - my friend , my chassis guy and former Stocker pilot who is in the SuperGas semis ........Good luck Tom & Kathy ! ! !
