Gates will open at 4:30 pm with racing starting promptly at 6 pm.
Terry Labonte, Jeff Green and David Stremme are taking part in a race at Lake Erie Speedway today. No other info about the race is on their website. This track does a horrible job with PR and they wonder why they lose money every year. It would have taken someone about 15 minutes to do a little write up and post it.

Here's hoping there isn't any trouble like they had last year.
Posted by: Tim at July 30, 2006 8:53 PM
Only one of them (Mike Love) is one of the original Beach Boys. Bruce Johnston, although not one of the originals, has played with the band since the 1960s.
John Cowsill? Is he any relation to the 1960s band "The Cowsills"?
Posted by: Matt at July 31, 2006 4:49 PM
Yup...he's THAT John Cowsill. He plays keyboards.
