I would like to have been there, but we were in Eugene getting Gabby's apartment set up for school. We are down to only three kids at the the house and this may take some getting used to.

To be honest, I was unsure how you could make make the switch from Sat/Sun to Thursdays and make it work fairly for all involved.  That being said, I really think you've nailed it, congratulations. I'm excited to get the season rolling and best of luck to all.

Other than a loose driver, 'ol yeller seems none the worse for the wear.  It was an action filled, high flying night of racing- just the way we like it.

We were talking about what to run for the Ford folks and Trans Am cars came up and everyone kind of said yes.  That's the only reason I inquired, I don't have a preference either way.

Are we still planning on racing TransAm cars as well?

Alan must have some kind of ESP to channel my busy calendar days.  I will be at the coast celebrating my mother's 80th birthday that weekend.

Thank you Bob and Teri for terrific hot dog fest and some really good racing.  Congrats to Monte on the victory, the man was on fire while racing.  While marshaling, not so much, even with his own car.  I think we all had a few laughs and an enjoyable day.

I would agree with that assessment. I looked at the time board and did rudimentary calculations in my head, Dennis was the fifth fastest qualifier. He just got placed with two really fast cars the shoot out.

Looked impressive

I missed the arse-whoop in'. I had one of my 'Chet style race nights. My GT car was bouncing off stuff everywhere and the old grey ghost ain't what she used to be in classic sports car.

If I come back from the beach to attend, leaving Diane at the beach, can I come live with you afterwards?

If you were really lucky, you might still have 1/2 a travel trailer to sleep in. Just sayin'...

A BIG THANK YOU to the Nakamura's for hosting today's Trans Am Classic.  Those that participated had a great time trying to catch Bill, who was the class of the field.  Although a small turnout, the racing was close and surprisingly clean.  You all missed out on a fantastic taco feast that left me feeling like a siesta.

Regards,
Rico

Your inner mechanic came through, I fixed the shower handle in our motel room earlier this morning. Glad to hear surgery was a success and you are on the road to recovery.

I tried to record it but got vexed by Comcrash.  I think there may be a replay tomorrow, fingers crossed.

We missed you last night. Get well soon.
