We're here! We're here! Arrived at 1:40 am and we are #207. We are in a field that is to the left when you come in the Main Gate. The other field looked full in the dark and this one almost is full. More tomorrow. Oh, they said to be sure and put up your stack if you are going to run your generator. The temperature seems nice, but we are putting the stack up anyway.

We're on the road should be there at 11 or so. Looking forward to a fun week!

Bill Skillman will have a new engine for his stocker from Ford this afternoon. Only minor work that has to be done on the new engine, change cams [ I bet degreeing four cams all at once is a challenge ], blower, fuel system, ignition, water pump, install, and then to the chassis dyno. "Piece of Cake"

I hope he puts wheelie bars on the car so Stacey won't have to kill him.

Is Toby just spectating I did not see his name on the entry list. Somebody do us all a favor on the west coast and kidnap him for the next two weekends so somebody else can win at Medford and Woodburn Div races coming up or Ken send him on a far away assignment to report on like down under, he would like that.
