Hey Chris,

Doug and I finally got called to the lanes for our first timeshot at 4:30PM. Well at 5:30PM we were still in the lanes waiting for our first timeshot. Talked about the situation, got pissed off and both of us decided to leave. Was home by 6:30PM. No runs at all the entire day. Can you say clusterf**k? To to me this past Sunday was worse than running in an import event. Although the Outlaw Quick 8 was some show. They had a guy from Georgia in a turbocharged Mustang go 6.96 @ 207 on a 10.5" tire. First person ever to do it. Overall it was a long frustrating day. By the way they didn't send the first pair of cars down the track until 1:30 PM. We know we were in for a long day.

You and Debbie have a Happy Thanksgiving. Talk to you soon.

Chris, Michelle told me they did get off some "money grudge runs" and one round of the Etown Shakedown before shutting down for the day.

Good Morning Chris,

Hope you and Deb had a Happy Thanksgiving. Our son John came home for Thanksgiving from college so it was really a nice holiday. Well less than a month now and John graduates from Embry Riddell Aeronautical University with a degree in Aeronautical Science and a minor in Aeronautical Meteorology. NICE!!! Talk to you soon.
