Sitting on the ferry hoping for many cautions at river head so that I can make it to the modified race on time.

Loudon was great and just want to mention the great run by Doug Coby who ran up front all day and finished 8th. Lots of talent there for a guy who just found out he was racing the 0 on tuesday.

Nice to see those words here on the Chrome Horn. Glad to see that your son had such a great time at the races.

For the tour race at Riverhead, I'm going to have close to 50 children and their families attend the race. Hoping to make some new modified fans that day too.

The pit parties/ autograph sessions are a great way to make new fans.

That being said, the attempt to do the Loudon to Riverhead run was a flop. The modifieds finished their feature at 8:00. Needed only an intermission or maybe run the figure eights first and we might have made it. Won't ever make this attempt again.

Riverhead didnt hold the mods up for Justin Bonsignore a few weeks back and they didn't hold them up for me tonight.. But what I really couldn't understand was that they didn't hold up the modifieds for Freddie Kraft who was on the same ferry as me.

Louden to Westbury, home at 9:15, not too shabby even with 3 stops for food and fuel, zoomed past 2 haulers about 3 times! I think I was using the TC/Newman draft to get home!:)

By the way Jim, just saw the highlights of the Nationwide race, I think you led quite a charge to the ferry, there were way more fans in 1 & 2 for the mod race.

Bruton, were you watching?

Doug had a very good run, but made a mistake when they did not take any tires. I think that hurt them.

Wasn't tires that caused him to lose a few spots at the end.

As the leader he got to choose inside/outside, he went with Newman (outside) b/c he had such great restarts. But newman got a bad one and that messed Doug up.
