Monday

A couple of days back, I met up with friend "Hotrod Joe" from Caifornia. He had come ahead of the rest of the race team. The problem came up that he was to sleed in the RV of the team, they were still in CA with race car troubles. He needed a place to sleep. I offered our floor in our room, he took me up on it. When Rodney and I was going to our room, Rodney the supply room door was wide open and there was a rollaway bed there.....in about 2 minutes it was in our room! The maids don't know any better. The mattress was so bad that Joe used his sleeping bag and the air mattress on top of it....but sure beats the floor. He spent the last three nights here, has been great company. He bought us dinner the first night. Last night he took us to the "inliners" club BBQ, free BBQ and Margaritas there. Tonight was the Hop Up magazine BBQ.....free beer and BBQ. This noon we ate with Jim's Hot Rod tours guys...more free food!
Today we stopped in the pits to see Billy O from CT, he has a deuce roadster that they race, he is the "high Speed division" of the Rolling Bones from NY. He blew the first motor Sunday and the back up today...not a good week for Billy O!
We saw a cool streamliner...."City of Salt Lake" it crashed in the 60's killing the driver, it has been rebuilt and the son is driving it this year, he is probably late 50's. Lets all hope he will be safe.
It was another great day, beautiful day, high 90's but a light breeze, no humidity at all, you don't even sweat a drop. Beautiful!
Tomorrow it off to the car wash and then head to Salt Lake City.
