Great parking spot - but not owned by the track ...............

Good morning - Those still in today are living the dream - the big show in front of the crowds - all the hard work you did on your racer could payoff this afternoon when you end up with the Wally in the winners circle .If only .....well , you know the rest . Round three will be a whole new deal - new weather - freshly prepared track - and about a zillion other factors - just like rd1 but different . In Stock 22 still have a chance and only 17 remain in S/S with only Bo Butner having a entry in both . At least the night racing is over as the tree must have been tough seeing last evening as 15 in Stock went red - ouch ! !

Speaking of weather - there was frost on the pumpkin last night for sure as the temp dipped to the high thirties last night but will return to the high 70's this afternoon with again plenty of Sun .

Stay tuned .......................Almost forgot -- Can't tell you who till later but a long time New England Stock racer has been picked for "Best Appearing Car " - long over due but he'll like the Wally and pics for sure .......too bad his wife skipped this race .

Kenny sent me a picture of the schedule, a little tough to read but I think everyone will figure it out. Racing starts at 9:15

Great Pictures and fine reporting Jack.. Even though we were there for some of the action, we kept reading this post to catch up on action we missed. Nice job Jack, you certainly got it covered, and covered well.
