Weather.com radar, if correct, shows they might be able to sneak in a race after the current delay and before the next wave of showers.  Man, it’s only 59-F over there in Charlotte.

Well, there’s a good reason I’m not a weatherman.  Anyway, thanks for the chatter on the 2 races today.  It’s always fun.

Yes, it was FUN.

Finished watching Monaco and was ready for the 600....but dang , looks like a race for tomorrow. Looked pretty nasty there.

Monaco actually was pretty interesting this year. More passes than I thought I'd see and when the rain came in , it was like instant. Light sprinkles coming in , guys on the radio said it's barely anything but a mist , then BAM!!......just soaking wet. It was like driving on ice. But heck yeah , my two favorites Max and Alonso took 1st and 2nd!  I hadn't even watched any qualifying so I didn't know where they would be on the grid. Pretty damn good race! 

Anyone know when the 600 might try and start tomorrow?

I went threw there this morning it was still raining. The wind & rain was much worse sat in sc & nc.  A spin  off from a tropical storm . It was 52-56 degrees with swirling wind& rain.

Right on , it's going!! 

Just in time for my tired ass. I'm currently in the middle of a 4 month battle on a giant blackberry bush area that swallowed 2/3 of my back lawn , that the previous renters didn't maintain for 15 years. After 4 months I'm about 70% done after 4 more hours this morning.  I swear to God.... blackberries were put on this earth from the devil haha!!  I have some that are bigger around than a golf ball and 50' long!  Damn things have thorn's about 3/4" long.....go right through my gloves and pants. Bleeding in like 10 different spots.  These plants suck!! 

But....time for more racing! Looks to be a good one! Let's go Larson, Harvick and Truex JR!!

I'm renting a HD 30" gas powered trimmer tomorrow. Tired of dealing with it. I'm going to shred the living shit out of those blackberries with that thing. Can't burn them this time of year in city limits. And I don't want to use any poison, because it's next to my big 28' Fig tree. It's getting there. 

Can someone please punt Wallace into the next zip code!!

My Family has known the Blaney's family since the early 70's.  Grew up in OHIO then I moved to Colorado in 98'.

Some great racing in OHIO dirt track speedways

Going to the dirt tracks in the 70's was always about The Blaney's. .

WTG Ryan!
