I'll be on the mic this weekend, so yinz will have a head start on the Saturday night pizza party before I get there. Guaranteed purses, good entry, good payout, nice round money!

Great looking weather all weekend! I'll be babbling on the mic, should be awesome racing.

Looking forward to seeing the Renegade Racing Assocation at Keystone this Saturday. Really cool cars, nice series.

Big time congrats to my buddy Barry Barnett for winning Modified on Saturday night! Almost a Barnett double up, with his son Josh getting the runner up in Street. I know Barney, Barry's dad, was smiling down with pride.

What is Barry running now Chuck?

Points are updated very quickly. We have 2 weeks until the next points race. Please check your totals and bring up any discrepancies to the tower.

Keystone points standings

Man, it was so good to hear Steve Sciullo over the p.a. again Saturday!

Congrats to Bob Whalen, winning (in Street) for the first time since Fairmont closed in 2000!

Update on the KRP site and FB page about the 660 race this weekend:

Hello everyone,
We are looking forward to big money bracket racing right here at Keystone Raceway Park this Friday through Sunday, where it is $10,000 to win each day, plus the racer appreciation BBQ, and Trainwreck in concert! We are hearing from some racers regarding this weekend’s 660 Top Bulb Nationals, after they looked at the weekend forecast. Unless the forecast trends to completely awful for all 3 days, we plan on racing! We have seen much, much worse forecasts here, and have raced without getting a drop. What we have working for us: We start early in the day (9am all three days), we have our jet dryer fueled up and ready to go (hoping it’s like carrying an umbrella – won’t rain when you remember to carry it!), we can adjust the schedule, we do not have a curfew, and we have one of the hardest working track crews anywhere! Our goal is to give out the entire purse this weekend, and we hope to see you here!

I agree wholeheartedly. If it were up to these weathermen in the Northeast, we'd never race. They're notorious for calling for disaster only to change it last minute to cover their arses. Plus with those new french drains Greg put in, I'd imagine that track can handle quite a bit.

It's not raining until water is falling from the sky. Have fun everyone.

You know, I always get nervous when Ed makes sense.

Scary isn't it

If anyone is interested. I am selling my 69 camaro. It is on racing junk. You can give me a call (412)779-1467.

July 29 - Day 1 is in the books! Great racing action all day long, and the $10,000 main event came down to a door car and a dragster. Win goes to Brian McHattie in the #1 Performance Center dragster, over Mike Honrstein Jr's '69 Camaro. Brian just lost his grandfather this week, and dedicated the win to him.

W - McHattie, 4.84 dial in, .0162 reaction time, 4.8460 elapsed time, 142.54mph

R/U - Hornstein Jr, 6.03 dial. .0235 RT. 6.0618 ET, 113.69mph

In the Mike's Auto Body gambler's race, it was another door car versus dragster match up, and this time, it went to the door car. Jeff Krushinskie from Shamokin, PA, had the holeshot in his 2001 Trans Am over Jon Birkel from Elyria, OH in his dragster.

W- Krushinskie, 5.38 dial, .0320 RT, 5.3971 ET, 122.38mph

R/U - Birkel - 4.87 dial, .2743 RT, 4.8529 ET, 137.03mph

I'm sorry I apologize, I missed the concert, how did it go?

What's it matter... It's a track rental. Get a life already.

Doorman there might be a few you tube vids of concert posted on website soon. Why are you apologizing?

Here is a link to the Sat. & Sun. video, with concert highlights starting at 4:30.
