Looks like your son has matched you as a photographer Tom. Keep up the great work guys!

Well, evidently no one is up this morning and using their phones, so we have a little service. We won 1st round yesterday, then waited all day for round 2, then got cancelled out around 6. So then it was time to start drinking and go up and watch super stock.

All in all it has been a fun, but boring race at times. All day Friday, it rained, so Janice Fuller and I played rummy for a while. Seems like all we have done is eat and drink.

Toby, the ice cream is great! We had moosetracks yesterday and chocolate!

It looks ok for weather today. It is overcast but not raining.

We thought we would run this morning, but we heard that Bader has a concert here this morning and wouldn't allow anything running until 10. So we run this afternoon after 2 rounds of pros. Hey, we are going to get to hear the National Anthem and we are only in the 2nd round~

Oh, for a note: Ray Skillman ran 8.79, 150 mph on DOT tires.

We are parked right across from the Skillman compound and have met all of them. Very nice people!

I met Drew at Indy one year and found him to be a very nice young man.

Well it has been a long day, but we are finally on the road and have some internet connection. It was a beautiful day all day at Norwalk. The air ran 2300-2400' most of the afternoon. We had lots of fun running the Cobra Jets and beating them. Larry was really driving well until he did his old man trick and had a .64 light and the car decided to go faster all of a sudden. But a .64 light will win lots of times to where a red light won't. I heard lots of people say they were having problems with those top blue lights, but Larry said they really didn't bother him. There seemed to be an unusual amount of red-lights in time trials and after racing actually began. I still have some pics to post and will try to get them on later tonight or tomorrow.
