2:15 EST-- I hear the Jet dryer running and they just called SuperStreet and Stock back to the lanes........I was told here at Raceway Park they have a Thursday curfew of 6 PM..............

Hey Jack

it seems like if they can get going soon and there are no oildowns or interruptions they could still maybe get 2 rounds of qualifying in.

this has been the wierdest spring in a while, when I look at the callendar its hard to believe its the middle of June.

good luck this weekend

Just heard from a friend that a super street car spun in high gear.(first pair down)?
to much humidity for the track I guess.

[old69timer]

could someone please post the proposed friday schedule

[John DiBartolomeo]

Would assume (and we all that what that means) that the first rounds scheduled for Friday would be a time shot, but... Then again, Friday's weather isn;t all that promising either. Shoulda left this race in July. Heat I deal with with, cold and wet is another matter.

Hey JACK
With all the down time .....Has there been any sightings of the "Cracked Rim Bandit"?

[Jack Matyas]

Angie -- when are you planning on rejoining the 'tour' ?

RP -- Not sure about this bandit thing -- but then this is New Jersey ........

Johnny D -- I'm with you brother -- bring back July and the Summers ....

As for everyone else I'll try and get some car shots tomorrow if we ever get out on the track .

Not good ! ! Not good at all is what this day is looking like - we've got it here - fog - extra cloudy - mist and a little chilly but here comes the good news -- its not raining at least at this moment .The grounds are very wet and there are no drying efforts going on at this time .

Yesterday afternoon and evening were tailor made for adults - most just sat around eating and enjoying adult beverages with great stories and you could tell it was all good as the evening came around the parties got louder .Personally I planned on going to the 'Ford" deal but never made it -- maybe someone who attended could fill us in on 'who and what' went on there .

Just saw Joe Demarzo out for a walk this morning (or maybe he was just getting in ) and he had on a new second design 'Tilberg" t-shirt -- he must spend a bunch of money with those folks .

Wish I could tell you there are plenty of racers and spectators out and about but today its all umbrellas and ponchos -even the TV has terrible reception .Sounds like card games and Monopoly are the order of the day .

I swear that everytime I tell you that its not raining -- it starts -- Yes , I've taken my meds today and I'm hearing big drops on the coach roof.............Later -- and as our friend Bob Frey would say in his 'Tales' - I'll be the one with all the Monopoly money.........

It will be interesting to see how sportsmen racers are treated if today is washed out.
