This is pretty simple - no popcorn or beverages needed to understand the entire deal - we sit for a day or two and if it looks really bad they cancel to next weekend as the Pro's have that weekend free .Not sure what happens to the Pennsylvania Dutch Classic but there is plenty of time to figure it out .At this point we're getting ahead of ourselves as the storm could blow out to sea as some of the weathermen have said this morning .Stay tuned ...........

Good morning members and guests - And welcome to day 1 here at the Keystone Nationals or otherwise known as the Amish October Rainfest .For those of you already wondering - yes, it rained last evening and thru the night but has ceased at this time and I for one have called Home Depot and cancelled my lumber delivery for now .Today could go either way - right now its foggy and humid with no Sun whatsoever but we'll see what the morning brings us .My thoughts are that we can get parked but ??????

Other news - our leader and head of this Pied Piper circus Ken has withdrawn but I must add not because of the weather - while racing Sunday he developed some ignition woes and just couldn't find them so you guys and gals are stuck with me the next few days .And did I mention Christmas is coming - along with end of year bonus time - he tells me everything was forwarded to corporate ........Hmmmmm ! Really ???

BTW , there are about a dozen or so rows of entries here already and the ground is not really that squishy so it could happen that we get in - but then I don't weigh as much as an eighteen wheeler .

Back a little later with some holding lot shots ........

PS- For those of you counting - 20 Stock/SS have withdrawn so far.
