A gigantic thank you to Twisty, Sally, and SK Mad 19 for filling in for CSG and giving us the live results so we can give it to you! So please give them all a thank you as well.
I can hear Kerry now guys..."What did you run in to me for hey......!"
Wow, you guys were really on top of it tonight, and it sounded like a smooth night of racing up in Thompson. Thanks to all of you, (sally, always the best with the inside scoop, fullbore's great insight, and the 91's awesome objectivity), who called in the updates, and to our own Openwheelracer, who although it kills him not to be there at the track, took over and did a great job on the ol' laptop! CSG would be proud! Hopefully, he'll be back with us next week. We appreciate you all.
Back to Stafford tomorrow night, if the rain holds out, and to the chagrin of more than a couple drivers who (due to misfortune in the first ten laps of this continuation race) will tomorrrow night have to start a lap down.
See you in the SMS chatroom at 8:30 tomorrow night for LIVE Updates!

Thompson yesterday was great. Translation--yes, I went there for a change. It was my mom's idea, only because she wanted to see Jeff Malave race (and win, for that matter). It was a "culture shock" to say the least. It was a great time being there.
