live from Cecil County-NHRA Lucas Oil Series

[Jack Matyas]

OK - so here's the scoop - the " LIVE " reporter is now on the grounds and all I have is bad news ( so what else is new ) - its raining here at Cecil County with plenty of lightning along with it to boot .The last few days the weathermen were saying this storm would miss this area but once again they're making me look bad ( as if I can't do that myself ) .

I learned a valuable lesson on the way here today - don't use a bank parking lot for a u-turn ......nothing good can come out of it .I turned in and as I did I just knew it would be trouble - then I went around the building thinking it was an exit road - nope , went right to the drive-up windows .... starting to see where this is going ? I was convinced I could make it thru the outside lane and the coach went thru easily with about 6 inches to spare - but the trailer was at the wrong angle and it went bad from there -after what seemed like forever I got it out but left a "Darlington Stripe" on their white curb and my trailer tires .Never - ever again ............ And if you're thinking I took pictures - think again .

We'll see what its like in the AM but I'm thinkin' anything but dry .........
