Saturday, May 1 - We arrived early on a hot sunny day in the high 80's for the second night of the All Star Sprint invasion. The All Stars are a shell of their former self with very few cars following the circuit especially into the state of Pennsylvania. Time trials commenced at 7 with local Alan Krimes setting fast time of 13.538 seconds....READ MORE

We looked forward to today's racing with great anticipation as the USAC wingless sprints would be returning to Florida for the first time on dirt since 1987 and the first time ever at East Bay.

No, we didn't fall off the face of the earth but many things after our return from Florida in February has kept us away from the keyboard.

Friday, September 11 - It was time to hit the road again
and the trip would be by air to the Windy City of Chicago. Pat was not that

September 11th but I told her if people don't fly and are afraid of air travel
