Hey Jack,

It has finally quit raining, but boy is it cold. Probably in the 50's. Supposed to be sunny and warmer tomorrow. We don't run until 10. It has started to fill up a lot this evening. I think they are parking until 12.

Saw Mike and Steve Koppein. They raced here last weekend and the car got up so high, Mike had to get out of it and it bent a bunch of stuff. As Alan Rhinhart said about Miller's B/SA car last week at Indy "He didn't stick the landing." ( I think he had been watching too much Olympics!) So anyway they have to work on the car.

Had some great cabbage and kelbasa for dinner. Now Larry is watching "Pinks". I can only stand so much of that!

Fred and Barb Suiter are here. Haven't seen a whole lot else. I will go out tomorrow when it warms up.

More later.

Well it is a bright beautiful day here in Earlville. Sun shining, blue skies! Got our wake-up call this morning with the National Anthem about 7:15. Tech started at 730. Good ole rock n roll playing on the PA radio station. Even heard some Jimmy Hendrix "Purple Haze" this morning.

They are starting out with Super Street at 10. Then Stock. There are a lot of super street racers in Div. 5, so it will take a while to run them.

It is cool but really nice this morning. I will give you all that weather after we run.

Going to go out and see who is here.
More later.

79 stockers went down 1st pass. We went 1.02 under. Need to work on leaving a little better. Fred Suiter did a nice wheelstand, then almost hit the wall. D/SA cars going fast. VanLant went 10.60, then Burton went 10.53. DRC should have results up soon.

More later.

Larry & Patsy: Appreciate the first hand reports.

Hey Larry,

Ask Bob Shaw if he changed spark plugs again. Last year when he went more than 1.4 under he blamed it on a new set of plugs.

Thanks for the updates, I can't make Earlville this year. Have some Bar-B-Q for me.
