Hey guys I don't know much but it looks if the weather holds we may be seeing the record lanes filled this morning!

[Jack Matyas]

Good morning - And brrrrrrrr -- last night we got a taste of what's in our future - cold ! ! Not sure just how cold but its a brisk 49 degrees at this moment and this reporter can tell you for sure he's in shock coming from the temps we had all last week in Indy .Last night nary a generator was running but furnaces were putting out plenty of BTU's all across the pits .

Racing ? Yeah , we'll get around to it this morning but this is Etown where they don't start engines till 10 am and even tech won't open up for an hour or so - and you must tow them in.

And for those who are following - yes , I had my biscotti and tea this morning .And if it matters the Sun is coming up very brite with only a few clouds showing .

BTW, if you're coming down RT18 south Raceway gas has the best prices for gas and diesel .

Jack,

Good luck this weekend. Looks like the cars will be running fast, and you'll be saving $$ on diesel fuel for the generator. What will Matt Shurman do with his spare time if he doesn't have a bunch of generators to fix between rounds?

Keep up the great performance from last weekend. You were on fire at Indy.

Regards,
scott

We just finished with stocks first qualifying and super street is running now, Super Stock is 4th out after super comp which have been called to the lanes.

Lots of lifting going this morning, the air is good and some are not taking chances on getting hp. I saw Jack get towed off the track, did not see what happen, I was told he went into a big wheelstand and came down hard. When I get more info I will post it.

Here a few more shots in the staging lanes. I see Pete Biondo is back with his 69 Camaro. he ran very well, 10.36 at 110mph in B/SA trim.

I have two cool in car cams and will try to edited and post before they call us back to the lanes.
