USAC CRA sprint cars run for $5000 each night, again not just the final night, with full shows each night......

Can't get here soon enough

So much going on all weekend, I do know that I will be at 3 races that weekend which ones I don't know

Calistoga! The last of the largest 1/2 miles west of that River. Last one left of the BIG Three! Who would have thought that? (Manzy, Ascot)
Weather could be cool. Heat wave started today. Should last 3 or 4 days, then the fog should creep in. Poor crop of tomatoes this year. Even for the cool weather fruit. Tonight one of the warmest nights of this growing season.

I'm assuming "that River" is the Mississippi, is Calistoga larger than Knoxville?

Ask Buckweat! "Two drag strips with tight turns! Better have your lunch down". A bad day at Calistoga better than Kville. Been there.

Third race of the year! That is retirement for me, did do Chili Bowl, the CRA USAC Petaluma, then this weekend. Forgot we did go to the Manzy rain out, only the second time ever for the long flight.

Yuk Yuma, (you are in the dry heat now!) well if you go to Costco in El Centro, go to the old fairgrounds across from the airport, check out the old half mile and day dream! The Worlds fastest 3/8s, under sea level! Good for the Tee shirts. Hey!

My other knee went out last week, iced it all weekend. Did go to the store tonight so no limp! Do I trust it ? Not yet. Wonder if I can push off going up the stairs.

I don't know what is planed for the weekend. My son flying in from New Mexico late Friday night. I do know we will be around the 92,& 50 car after the races Saturday if I can walk. Need to say hi to Stan and Dick! Maybe have some fine wine. Do miss the old wine-coolers there. I don't know what he wants to eat. May BBQ at Foothill Dr. I'll drive over Friday and check things out. Maybe stop by say hi to Moose 92 motor home they said they should be there Thursday.

Statler non wing WOW! That puts him over 25 years ago for him on the big half mile. NO-wing!

Jesse Hocket will be fun to watch on the track. Sprint and midget, oh my!
