Damn, all dressed up and no place to go!

This concludes my 2009 season as we won't be available on 11/21... Hope to see you all at the Banquet, other events and, definitely in 2010!

Our car is heading into the shop tomorrow to start her winter upgrades.

Dave

It is bright outside right now, but that does not mean that it will not rain today. I will be racing in the Import event Sunday.

It appears that season Champ will come down to the last race. The pressure is on.

Maybe the GM EFI will be rescheduled to next week.

I thought that as well but it started steadily drizzling here (roughly 35 miles north of the track) again at around 12:30-1:00pm, not sure if the same applied to the Old Bridge area or not.
