We're pretty much done for the day as we got our second lick in and most qualified positions stayed the same because it slowed up a few hundreths .Turned out to be a extra nice day here in the Peach state -- couldn't ask for more -- sunshine -nice temps - and a little tailwind .....perfect .

A little while ago I was looking for a snack so I took a walk up to the refreshment area -- what a surprise -- no subs -- no pizza -- not even chili ! ! ! But I did get a pleasant surprise-- the lady at the stand said try these -- I wasn't going to but she "sold" me -- get this -- fried green tomatoes
with ranch dressing -- not bad-not bad at all .

To all my friends at Maple Grove this weekend my advise is just sit tight -- tomorrow will be nice.

hey cheif did you guys get the trucks out?

[Jack Matyas]

For a minute I thought I was at Maple Grove when Bucky's car appeared but it was only the Teuton compound .Then I ran into Mark Beaver and his extra clean 98 Camaro ..........Later .

Hey Jack, welcome to the South. Take it easy on my Southern Pals!

[Jack Matyas]

Thanks Woody --I just hope your pals don't beat-up on me too badly tomorrow morning..........

Almost forgot--thanks to the track operator for the nice Bar-B-Q he put on tonight .Also heard a rumor that a certain S/S racer who shall remain un-named imported a stripper for tonights' entertainment in his trailer-- what next ?

Go Phillies...........

Sunny morning here in Reynolds on race day--temps in the high fifties and climbing with the barometer at 29.56 -humidity at 72% and drying off fast-- 478 DA at the moment so its a little faster this morning.They're drying the dew off the track at this time with the jet dryer so we should get going soon .

Took a few photos this morning--ya gotta like the Reynolds people - guess they like people but not trucks. Also check out the 58 Ford S/ST car -- very different than the rest .This morning I joined the parade here as they let you warm-up on the track.....try that in D1 . Later...........Click on the pics to enlarge .

First round is done and this could be a great race for the D4 boys with Teuton putting Pinkston out --Buchanan outing Schrimscher--Ford beating Dobson -- Doughty going past Reid -- Carey beating Griffis -- Birkett outing Kevin Helms -- and Hall going around Weiss . Other Notables -- Grubbs put Somerton out -Vierheller dumped Gracie (ain't she a cutie)Howell -- Heads-ups-- Johnson over Radley (E/SA) -- Torren over Harris(D/SA)and then there's me who had a light so bad the starter was walking toward me when I left-- ouch ! ! ! ! And to add insult to injury my second round race would have heads-up and seven (7) tenths slower--thats right(.70) -- luck is everything . Later.........got plenty of time now .
