Neither rain, nor sleet or fog shall stay these couriers from their appointed rounds....am I talking about the postal service? Nope, just racing at Road America for the Cat National. Qualifying on Saturday took place after one of those widely scattered rain storms pelted the track. On Sunday, the racers were greeted with thick fog. So thick, in fact, that the warmup session was held on standing yellow flags, so no passing was allowed. 

However, the fog did lift enough for the drivers to see one another by the time the race started. There was lots of close racing in the early laps, as drivers gingerly tested the track for grip. As usual, Jim Marinangel Car 5, started from the pole and stayed there. The best race on the track involved Bill Douglas Car 7, Mike Dirienzo Car 82 and Peter Stolz Car 02, who were vying for 4th, 5th and 6th during the closing laps of the race. The results, Douglas 4th, Stolz 5th and Dirienzo 6th.  Other Elite drivers finishing well (this is based on webmaster memory, as I don't have completed results, yet so forgive any lapses...)Mike McCann Car 38, 7th; Webb Bassick Car 29, 8th; Jim Simaras Car 95, 10th; Bob Ablard Car 66, 11th; Steve Anastasi Car 2, 13th; Steve Nekich Car 6, 17th; Mel Boldt Car 8, 18th; Dale Brown Car 21 20th; Brian Riese Car 4, 21st; Jim Victor Car 04; 23rd, and Bernie Schatz, 24th.
