Good afternoon -- To say today's test n tune is a washout would be a terrible understatement -- words can't describe how much water came down fast .Good news is it hasn't rained for about two hours now and the water is starting to drain off . Todays activities will consist of the usual -- cards - monopoly - adult beverages and bedpans -- not to mention cleaning mud - its everywhere .

After some searching this morning I found a Wal-Mart where a card reader was purchased and now pictures can be posted again -- hope you like them .

The first picture you would think is self explanatory -- yes , I'm old enough and yes , I was there but thats not the story , that sign reminded me of two of Division 1's best racers who lived in Woodstock - Charlene and Gary Wood - anyone know whatever became of them ?



The next pic you would think I'm way off my route to Lebanon but I swear you have to get on this road - who would think .

Next is the picture we all hate -- when a starting line looks like this its never good .

I've got more to post later ..................

Sal -- They have resumed parking ( very carefully I might add ) and will continue all day into the evening........

Here's a few more pics -- the first is 'Lake Lang' - thats right , next to Bob Langs' motorhome , then we have the staging lanes but not full of race cars but tow rigs -- waiting to be pitted .Lastly we have the famous 'racer in the air' at the Valley -- must be 30 or 40 feet in the air -- pretty neat deal .

Weather.com has a 50 percent chance of rain tomorrow, a "slight" chance of a thunderstorm on Saturday with highs in the upper 60's (not as bad as the fourth of July when I went to a baseball game at night with a winter coat and gloves on)-welcome to summer in upstate NY. Sunday looks good though.

But wasn't "Woodstock" actually held in Bethel, NY?
