Live from the 40th annual "Pennsylvania Dutch Classic"

10:40 update - We were minutes away from starting when the skies opened up - even if it stopped it would be hours to dry the track again and with more coming this afternoon any racing today is not looking possible .............

Seems that the storm that was passing thru has picked up some steam ...........

Hey my friends down at the Dutch, the sun just came out here in Hershey. So since I am only an hour away you should be brightening up soon. Hope you guys have plenty of energy that schedule will be pretty jammed if it rains off and on today.

Jack:

Sounds like you may be planning to build an arc???
Dennis Petras and I are coming down tomorrow morning,
shall we stop and pick up 12 of Dunkin's Finest Assorted??
BTW: The sun is out right now in P'Burg, so we'll bring
some of that tomorrow as well.

From Virginia Motorsports Park at the IHRA Sportsman Spectacular, TOC.......How's the weather up there??? It's a nice day here in VA! Partly sunny, low 70's, 15-20 mph head wind. Not a drop of rain since I arrived here around 4:30 yesterday!!

Good luck to all my friends at the Dutch!

Tonight the rain moved out - its dry here for a change .The biggest difference now is the temperature took a plunge - brrrrr - chilly tonight for sure - lows in the high forties.

But along with these changes are some good ones --- like the barometer has jumped .50 in the last few hours and is expected to continue climbing right into tomorrow .The Hemi and American Muscle guys ( not to mention everyone else ) will like these changes for sure .

In the morning much of the humidity thats hanging around should be gone and the go-fast weather will kick-in .Yippeeeeeeeee ..............

Dinner tonight was at the LaBrecque / Diamond RV compound - Shepards Pie , Breaded Sea Scallops ,Cajun Shrimp, Sliced Ham ,Beef Stew , deep fried vegetables and more .All this plus several kinds of cakes and pies served with fresh brewed coffee and adult beverages .Thanks Marc and Joanne ..........I should take a very long walk before bed .........Nah ! ! !

Start engines at 8:30 sharp with Stock out first ...........
