Re: Live from Earlville D5 LODRS
 

Here's the final report for Friday. The racing was called by about 3:00 this afternoon after several waves of showers came through the area. Comp top sportsman top dragster and alcohol cars did not get to make their planned runs at all today. The current plan for tomorrow is that all classes will get 2 time runs before eliminations start in the afternoon. It's not clear what classes will get first round tomorrow and due to the small car count in SS it's likely that first round for them won't be until Sunday.

There was the barbecue tonight for the racers that was well attended and the food was great.

Here are the qualifying runs for the second round of stock and SS. And if you look closely you can see the raindrops on the glass coverings where the sheets were posted.

One final photo from the starting line where the crew did an excellent job making sure none of the gravel from the pit roads was on the starting line.

Mike,
Thanks for the great reporting and good luck at the "Field of Dreams".

Re: Live from Earlville D5 LODRS
 

It's a much different weather day here as the rains have moved through the area and a cool front has arrived. My gut feel says it should be quicker today with the cooler temps and some sun in the sky. I expect to be back with some updates later today stay tuned.

Mike,

Appreciate all of the pictures and your reports. I haven't seen any shots that show the spectator bleachers. I am not a racer, but take photos from the stands. They do have some, right?

See all in Charlotte next Friday, bright and early.
