9 Southside redwoods and the eighth (or ninth) New Market FNG arose this morning to greet each other on a true sunny and 70 morning.  The humidity was heavy and the summer gloom on the track seems to increase the temperature as opposed to the colder winter effect.

THANGT To the track, the temp did not drop as nearly as much on the track today as with past glooms but it did feel cooler for a few minutes.  A nice slow lap around the track to warm…

8 varmint chasers assembled SOJ @ SOT for a hot potato Q that started with the trendy fad of the week: the release of the latest catch.
