Live from Reading, Pennsylvania - NHRA Keystone Nationals

[Jack Matyas]

Good morning members and guests - And welcome to day 1 here at the Keystone Nationals or otherwise known as the Amish October Rainfest .For those of you already wondering - yes, it rained last evening and thru the night but has ceased at this time and I for one have called Home Depot and cancelled my lumber delivery for now .Today could go either way - right now its foggy and humid with no Sun whatsoever but we'll see what the morning brings us .My thoughts are that we can get parked but ??????

Other news - our leader and head of this Pied Piper circus Ken has withdrawn but I must add not because of the weather - while racing Sunday he developed some ignition woes and just couldn't find them so you guys and gals are stuck with me the next few days .And did I mention Christmas is coming - along with end of year bonus time - he tells me everything was forwarded to corporate ........Hmmmmm ! Really ???

BTW , there are about a dozen or so rows of entries here already and the ground is not really that squishy so it could happen that we get in - but then I don't weigh as much as an eighteen wheeler .

Back a little later with some holding lot shots ........

PS- For those of you counting - 20 Stock/SS have withdrawn so far.
