THE WEATHER REPORT FOR TODAY CHANGED EVERY DAY AND SEVERAL CALLED FOR A WIPEOUT.  ACTUALLY, THE STORM STARTED AROUND 4 IN THE MORNING WITH LOTS OF THUNDER AND LIGHTNING AND REALLY, REALLY STRONG WINDS.  THE CAPS ON BOTH ROOF VENTS IN MY RACING TRAILER BLEW AWAY.  FORTUNATELY, THE OPTIMISTS WERE RIGHT AND MOST OF THE MORNING WAS AVAILABLE FOR PRACTICE.  FRIDAY AND SATURDAY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE DRY BUT REAL COOL (MID 50'S AT BEST).  STARTING FLUID MAY BE THE ORDER OF THE DAY.

I, OF COURSE, REALLY MISS BUTCH K AND HIS TEAM OF VINCE AND SEAN.  THEY  WERE USUALLY SO INTENSE THAT I OFTEN ENJOYED WATCHING THEM MORE THAN I WORRIED ABOUT "MAKING THE SHOW".  AT LEAST THAT WAS MY EXCUSE.

RACES START TOMORROW AFTERNOON. WE WILL SEE WHAT THE COLD WEATHER DOES TO MAN AND MACHINES.

thanks for the report...and mid 50s is still better than the 11 that is showing on my thermometer......and yes, starting fluid would be in order, both for man and machine,,,,I'm sure Butch would approve...

I'm sure the weather up north kept a few away..2--3 feet of snow is kinda hard to deal with,,,,wish I was there ,,have fun you old Geezer....LOL
