Conditions at lunch time -- still raining but lighter --not much going on yet- doubtful if they will get much in today....water is draining -- not much need for a ark yet...........later.

Kenny, be careful if your hanging out with Painter and Doug! I'm sure the three of you are capable of getting into something! It's really nice having WiFi at the track isn't it? All tracks should have it! Ask Painter about Leonardo's Pizza. Jim

Leonardo's, in Gainesville ? Frazier and my son and I ate there again last year. My son was asking about that too. Eye Candy, for sure, being right on campus...

We'll likely hit that one again, in Feb. .....

For now, it's stopped raining. Tractor is making the first pass brooming water off the track. I havent looked to see if they are parking the folks outside yet. Here's hoping we can get some runs in today. There were rigs outside this morning 4 wide over half way back, and that was 2 1/2 hrs ago. Mybe they can get in soon. I'm glad we got here yesterday, to get teched in, early, and out of the way. Not that we have much to do now....

Jack-you've been pretty quiet tonight, you at the BBQ the track has? I went to Reynolds last year with my brother ( Derek Clark S/G 12 ) and had a great time. The people were great, the track was killer all weekend and the food was awsome!! Trust me, its warmer down there then it is up here. Have fun, go some rounds and enjoy, racing is alot different down there than up here. I'm going to the Dutch on Sunday to catch some racing before the seasons over, have a great time down south!!

Saturday morning and no Sun yet but at least its not raining - temps in the high 50's and will reach the mid 70's by this afternoon -- we should dry out OK in an hour or two .

Superstock 1890 -- Yes , Rich -- that scene looks all too familiar but I swear this time I wasn't driving ! ! It must be the dark cloud that has been following me around lately .Be sure to let Bill in on my good fortune -- I'm sure he'll get a chuckle out of it .

Later...........

Jack Matyas · 10-25-2008, 10:59 AM

The Sun is finally back ! ! ! Temps in the high 60's -- barometer and vapor pressure in the dumper and the humidity is still high -- This ain't Maple Grove . Stock just got their first shot in -- maybe around a dozen or so that are 1 second under ---- S/S up in a little bit........I'll be back .

Here's the hotsheet now --- Doug Patrick #1 K/SA -- -1.330
Norm Griffis V/SA ---1.285
Dave Lindsay E/S --- -1.199
Butch Payne E/SA ----1.150
Verne Buchanan H/SA -- 1.149
