DRIVING HOME FROM PENNSYLVANIA

Hey everybody,

We fought rain & cold weather all weekend at Maple Grove. The crew did a great job throughout the weekend & the car got quicker on every run. In the semi finals we shook the tires & lost to Frank Manzo, who set a new elapsed time record, won the world championship, & eventually won the race, all in one day. Congratulations Frank! Charlie, Ed, & I took the trailer to Goldrush Trailers in PA after the race for liftgate repairs. That went well thanks to Kevin, Jeff, & the whole gang there.

We're on our way home now, in Connecticut & expecting to be back on the Cape by 9pm. We'll get the car ready to leave in a week for Silver Dollar Raceway in Reynolds, GA for the last race of the year.

We'll let you know how things are going before we take off again. ESPN2 will air the Maple Grove event from this past weekend on Sunday, Oct. 9 @ 3pm.

Have a great day!

Jay
