It's certainly not the high school athletic season.
So, let's start talking about some other activities throughout the local area.
Wednesday night was racing or there was supposed to be racing at the Waterford Speedbowl.
It didn't happen due to Mother Nature which decided to send a thunderstorm over the Speedbowl but spared Interstate 395 less than a mile away.
Such is the fickle fate of the sport especially at a facility like Waterford where people are constan tly discussing the future of the track.
We may know more soon.
According to spokesman David Dykes, Waterford is set to make a major announcement on Monday at Groton Motor Inn.
And the announcement is certainly a positive one.
Other than that, Dykes was pretty cryptic as to what is going on.
Just a personal note, if you want to have some fun, stay close to home and see some good auto racing, check out the action at Waterford, Thompson Speedway or Stafford Speedway. It's a great way to spend a summer evening and all of those tracks have programs that run through the month of August.
