I'll take full responsibility for the high wind warnings, after all, everyone knows announcers are full of hot air!

If you were planning on coming in today make sure to bring along these items -- umbrella , rain suit , galoshes , and some weight bars( to put in your pockets ) as its pretty windy this morning .We've had some rain and some serious storms this season but this is bad -- and just plain wrong ! On your way in better stop at the bodega and get extra stuff to feed all your friends that will be dropping over to mooch-- after that stop at the beer joint 'cause you 'll be needin' more - can't see any way we'll be goin' down the track today so you might as well drown your sorrow -- and get the good stuff as your can afford it because look at all the money you'll save today not racing .

Unk -- it ain't me buddy -- like they say " I'm just the messenger " .You however, when on the mic - thats another story .

Ed -- how in the world could you not be racing -- we're a mile from your house .

After a shower ( for me ) I'm going out to see whats happening -- later ..............

PS -- Tech is open .

Hey Denny, it's Bill. I got back from Indy on Tuesday and this coming Tuesday my wife and I are leaving for the race in Charlotte, NC. I hope that you and your mom are doing well!

Hi Jack -- Thanks for the weather update. Any idea on what local weather is saying for Saturday? Sue Smyth

Evan Smith · 09-11-2009, 07:00 AM

Jack,

Keep the photos coming and get some of the Brew Crew if you can. This is the first time I'm missing the D1 E-Town race since 1989. It's sunny and 85 here in Tampa, but I'd rather be sitting in the rain with you guys. Let's all remember 9/11 today. Good luck to everyone racing.

Evan

A/SA Fairlane -- Yet is the key word as its coming up the coast .

Angie -- Come on down ! ! ! I'll find out how late the gate is open for you .

Sue - Late tomorrow morning looks much better than today -- National Weather Service has issued Tornado watches for Noon today in area counties up the Eastern Coast .

Evan - Surely 9/11 is on most of our minds today -- I can remember exactly where I was when the first news came .BTW , we'll miss your presence too .
