6/19/2007 Oval Track Day in the Pennsylvania State Capital of Harrisburg

Jessie’s day started early this Tuesday morning about 4:30 AM as she left Silver Spring, yes the 4:30 that comes before sunup.  And yes it was the Jessie we all know.  Dad was out of town for work and it was her big chance to tow the 42 foot trailer with the F350 Dually.  A sleepless night with some fear and much excitement brought her to the Trailer kept about an hour from her house.  Then for over an hour she tried to get the trailer legs raised, they have no manual crank, the trailer battery was dead and the auxiliary from the truck wasn’t enough to overcome the problem.

So down in the dumps she calls John Krall of PAPosseRacing’s PA Open Wheel and Hagerstown Speedway Announcer to let him know she would be unable to show with her car.  She just knew she had let him down.  John’s big smile came through the phone as he told her to come anyway and so she did.

She had a great time.  Jessie spent much of the day in or near the Eastern Museum of Motor Racing booth with Rick Mandelson and others.  She met Terry L. Punt State Senator from the 33rd District and a great race track supporter.  She also met another Lady Senator (whom dad has lost the name) who she really enjoyed.  Great time and turn out showing off the sport of racing at the State Capital.
