Had a great time at Yankee stadium for my 3rd trip this year......left field, 3rd row from the wall.....My friend might have been partly responsible for helping Johnny Damonee as we like to call him...forget how many outs there were.....he was yelling to Johnny to thow the ball up to us but there were only 2 outs and a run scored on his mental lapse.......beers are $9 and were cold......We did not care about traction and got our monies worth......$170 is about right for a sunny afternoon in the Bronx...well maybe a little shy if you add the GWB toll and the parking.....Tickets earlier this year were $95.......


E-Town is often not so good tractionwise later in the day.....earlier this year at a regular bracket race day I lost in rd 4 and was off in 60' and at the 1/8th by more than normal......... others tell me the same story at times there and sometimes worse..........Lots of cars running and nobody doing anything much that I can see.......Test and Tuners routinely messing up the track right in the middle of the day when we are running eliminations........Once earlier this year we sat for a very lengthy oil down and it was not the first of the day,,,,,,all because they take their $$$$ at the gate and let them out on the track between rounds.......and when we bitch they say those cars paid their money at the gate and they are going to let them run.........And to be quite honest it has often been exactly that way down there......
