Track dryer is working. We seem to be in a long lull in the weather. Maybe in the pm, and as I type this it is sprinkling again. Maybe late pm.

Yesterday, I was waiting for sprinkles to quit on the starting line, and I was somewhat surprised when starter Mark Lyle came up to the car and chatted with me a bit. He seems like a great guy, and he seems very concerned about the well being and safety of racers. If you get a chance to talk to him stop by and tell him hello. I think when racers speak there minds about track conditions, they are no longer falling upon deaf ears.

Last year at the Gators, Sunday afternoon, as I was pulling my Super gas car around to the water box, the same thing. Started to sprinkle. I got out of the car and like you, Mark came over and we talked for a few min. I expressed concern over how the track may be and he agreed and had us go back to the pits. He didn't want to send us down a track if we weren't comfortable with it.
