"Live From" The Summernationals at Englishtown

[Ken Miele]

Hello everyone,

This is the 47th time this race has be held here at E-Town, and it looks to be a super week as far as the weather goes. Mid 70's and sunny skies for the rest of the week. I have not seen a schedule yet, but if I do find one, I will post it. We started parking around 10 am. It has been slow going and the weather was sunny and pleasant. Was is the key word, the skies opened up about an hour ago with heavy rain. It is a fast moving system and it should be out of here in a few hours.

Here are a few shots before and during the rain. As soon as I get more info about the race I will post. Parking has been put on hold until the rain stops. Tech is open, but the rain obviously is keeping people away.

Was sunny and nice for about 6 hours this morning.. Why weren't they parking? Got here last night in hopes of going to my girlfriend's son's award ceremony tonight. Gonna be in the doghouse..

Schedule says stock is running class? I didn't know that. I hope it's true.

The schedule they posted shows class for stock and super stock, only super stock is scheduled to have class. Must be an error ?

I noticed that too Dave. Possibly it is because they are running the Factory Stock Showdown; other than it simply being an error, that is the only explanation that I can think of.

The rains are gone, but it has gotten a little chilly, upper 50's to low 60's. The schedule has been updated. Stock will run first round on Friday. It looks as if everyone is parked, it has been a long day. Parking was painfully slow, but tech stayed open late to accommodate all the racers. The parking personnel where great to work with and very polite and were trying to accommodate everyone, but it made for a long day.


Here are a bunch of random shots of the day.....

Ken is too polite. This is a effin joke. Should have started parking at noon yesterday, instead, AS SCHEDULED, started parking at 10 am today, using BOTH of the poor bastards they pay minimum wage. People I know arrived at 2 pm today and finally got in the gate, not teched mind you, around 7 pm. $340 to enter, and this is the level of customer service one gets. Unacceptable doesn't begin to describe it. I have not yet had the opportunity to meet Mr. Clifford, but suffice it to say I'll be introducing myself in the near future, at the very least via email Monday morning.

Win the event. Better yet, double. Then go kick him in the teeth.
