Jack,
Carzy Al here, if dick smugged over tires moreland shows up tell him to call me. if you get bored you can always go to the lake and frog hunt.

Jack,

You're beginning to remind me of that character in the Peanuts cartoon,,,, you know the guy with the dark cloud always following him around. :-)

Seems like every race you report from you keep using that four letter word that begins with R.

Sorry I didn't get you emailed from Indy, my aircard worked great @ Reading, but couldn't find a signal @ Indy.

keep the reports coming this weekend, Son has 1st football game Saturday & a birthday Sunday, figured I needed to be home for this weekend, I'll follow the division races via everyones reports here and @ DRC.

See you in Charlotte?

Unk

A few of us sat around tonight in the rain storm taking in adult beverages and compiling a list of notable racers who will be MIA this weekend at Raceway Park -
Evan Smith - our SRAC guy who not only moved from New Jersey to Florida but slowly is becoming one of "Busters Rebels" .He cut his racing teeth here .
Ray Valpreda - He too moved from New Jersey and went to Charlotte -- and then started racing with that 'other' organization .This will probably be the first points meet at E-town in more than 35 years he has missed .
Marc LaBreque -- His company (Diamond RV) has been very busy lately and is strapped to his desk -- we'll give him a pass on this one .
Al Mark -- He heard there was rain the Englishtown's future and decided not to get his new motorhome dirty -- no pass here .
Wayne Totaro -- Saving his good stuff for a race with the other guys next weekend in Maryland --no pass here .
Jerry McNeish -- Off at a car show in New Mexico -- part work related so we gave him a pass .
Gary Parker -- He's in Nebraska ( or somewhere out there ) 'honeymooning' with his new sweetheart-- ain't love grand ? No pass here for sure ..........He'll be back ! ! !

You folks can just jump in with your friends who aren't coming as we'll have nothing but time on our hands for the next 12 or 24 hours ........hopefully we can talk about racing one of these days .Later......

Jack,you wont have me to beat up on this weekend.Unless you want to beat me up in the pits.I'm a spectator only this weekend.If I sit on the front porch I can hear Manzo setting low ET.

OK Unk, so maybe you can blame Jack for the rain, but who gets the nod for the tornado warnings?

[BobUnkefer]

I'll take full responsibility for the high wind warnings, after all, everyone knows announcers are full of hot air!

If you were planning on coming in today make sure to bring along these items -- umbrella , rain suit , galoshes , and some weight bars( to put in your pockets ) as its pretty windy this morning .We've had some rain and some serious storms this season but this is bad -- and just plain wrong ! On your way in better stop at the bodega and get extra stuff to feed all your friends that will be dropping over to mooch-- after that stop at the beer joint 'cause you 'll be needin' more - can't see any way we'll be goin' down the track today so you might as well drown your sorrow -- and get the good stuff as your can afford it because look at all the money you'll save today not racing .

Unk -- it ain't me buddy -- like they say " I'm just the messenger " .You however, when on the mic - thats another story .

Ed -- how in the world could you not be racing -- we're a mile from your house .

After a shower ( for me ) I'm going out to see whats happening -- later ..............

PS -- Tech is open .
