I've decided that if Mike Lee can stay on his feet long enough to "Call" for me, I'm in tomorrow.

I have never entered an American TD event. This could be my first.

There is supposed to be a storm front entering the area in the morning. This will be interesting.

The last event at this field highlighted a storm front entering the area and sink was the order of the day. The winners barely made their times.
