[Jack Matyas]

Good morning members - I for one wish I could tell you that Billy and myself were preparing for todays semi-finals but the truth is we're at a Sunoco rest stop on route 70 drinking coffee and talking about what could have been .Like I promised it was quite a ride this week and there are four guys left who still have a chance .My sentimental pick is the elder statesman of the group - Bobby Warren who I kidded with yesterday about us being on the drag racing version of the 'senior tour' .

It probably won't be until later today that they run the Sportsman classes but I wish the best for all who remain in the hunt .They'll have more of the same conditions to race in that they had all week - hot and humid but the last man standing I'm sure won't mind while being on the stage holding that huge Indy Wally .
