Good morning - Well this is different - how about a Lucas race in October here in D1 - except this is sort of a hybrid - some rules for a National Open and some for a Divisional event (more later) .And then we have the weather - how about almost 80 degrees yesterday along with blue skies and plenty of sunshine and a slight headwind type of breeze .

Today everyone will get two passes - Stock and S/S will count there's as qualifiers for class runoffs tomorrow - it's run as fast as you can for that part ( I think the 1.30 under is in effect) .Confused ?? Yeah we are too .Somewhere along the line we'll qualify for the Lucas part of the event - not sure when or ? After that the rest of the day will be spent finishing the Epping Divisional Lucas race to conclusion .Because of the time of year we don't race after dark (dew etc ) so that will be it for the day.

The TNT went well yesterday - plenty of traction for everybody as the Maple Grove crew dragged and sprayed plenty of times all day - thanks guys ! ! And BTW, I believe there were some records set yesterday - I'll see what news I can dig up.

PS - For those of you coming to spectate - don't miss out - this event has many cars I haven't seen in many , many years .

Thanks Doug for the pics as with all that's going on I'll be a bit busy . Later ......
