You are so right - this coach is perfect for a day like
this - fireplace - 4 slides - front and rear furnaces -double door fridge- smart tv's and on and on ...........geez we have become spoiled over the years ! ! ! But did I mention it's a real pain in the butte keeping everything working .And then there are the 425 ponies to feed - ouch.One of these days I'm going to downsize .............

It finally stopped raining and there is a breeze but it will be awhile before we get going I'm sure ..............But it's only noon so we may be ok..........

Here is the plan for today - 1 time trial and go into eliminations with all races 1/8 mile because of the top end water probs - to start in an hour or so .

[STCK/SSFAN]

Congratulations Jack on your runner up to Bryan Clayton in the first race. Here is a picture of the final at the starting line as well as a picture of the finalists in action earlier in eliminations

The track was in great shape. I made 9 runs and never spun once. Went 4 rounds and took some Canadian money home with me.

Good morning all - Today is it !!!! Looks like a Chamber of Commerce day out there and really its a great thing for everyone here .Why you ask - well it seems like we've been here forever and race #1 isn't getting done and #2 isn't started yet .Last evening we finally got in round one of race one - then the dew set in and that was that.Today hopefully all that will change .But somehow we have to continue round 2 of race one after racers get a time trial or two - probably two for race #2 and then continue race one .Whew !!!!Yes, its a little confusing plus somehow I feel we'll be spending another day in Canada tomorrow .........

All that and would you believe I got my first round win last evening here in thirty some years .

Then there is the long standing deal about qualifying and using a ladder first round - they did it here --- yippee and if there is a heads-up so what .Maybe that rule will go away with us in the States ........Thanks to the Canadian NHRA ! ! !

I'm not sure where I ended up qualifying yesterday but it was either # 2 or 3 as my ride did like the horrible air here.

Later we'll see how things shake out .........
