Looking like another rainout this weekend. This makes it almost a month since we raced. Really getting tired of this crap weather! Big swap meet at Englishtown Raceway Park. Maybe i'll go walk in the rain and look at acres of parts. Might be a good warmup for Fall Carlisle next week. Mark

Re: Track Report
Thanks Pop! I would probably enjoy walking in the snow as long as it was at a massive flea market full of race car parts! HAHA Mark

Re: Track Report
Just got home. Went down to the quarter finals (7 cars). Lost on a double breakout with identical reaction times! I was just not willing to give up the stripe!

Re: Track Report
I'm usually pretty darn good at the stripe, but we had identical reaction times and both picked up because of the temp drop. I wasn't about to give up the stripe, but whoever took the stripe was going to break out by more and lose. Yeah well.
