Ken, I too want to thank you for your Live reporting. When not there it is great to have people like yourself, the Hills, Jack, Michael Beard and others keeping us informed at home. Sorry didn't get to get the shirt before it started to rain. I'll try and get with you by internet and paypal probably..

Will try and resize some of my pictures from today and post later, probably tomorrow.

Ed,

Don't worry about it. Mostly driver error: not lined up in the groove, went up to the line too hot, late shift 1st run, early shift on the 2nd. That and the humidity didn't help either. I'm sticking to plan A: dial 13.79, cut a stellar light, keep my foot to the floor, and hope for the best. More importantly: have fun!

By the way, someone came by to look at the car today. Best case scenerio is that I finish the race and come home with cash in-pocket to build that Gremlin Super Stocker we've always talked about. LOL

Well, it was not as fast as most thought it would be.... I got very lucky on my run. Car went straight up and unloaded on the bars. They are running super stock now and stock suppose to be out after super gas for second round.

More later.....

Try No. 1 for Stock pictures from yesterday.

Sorry I missed your first run this morning. Would have been a great shot.

[butch8908]

More SS/S from yesterday.

The internet access is horrible, it took two hours just to add this post. Stock got 2 rounds, all other sportsman only received one round. The will run there second round after the pros are done.

I do have two videos, an in car cam of Rock Hass in is 2008 CJ and Rusty Johnson who is driving a beautiful 64 Thunderbolt this weekend. The Thunderbolt is the pit cam, its nice vid of cool car. Forgive me, but I forgot the gentlemen's name who owns the car. I will get his name later.

I will be back tonight, when the bandwidth returns.

Does anyone know what the deal was with Mickey Whaley 1st round of stock? DRC showed his dail in at a 10.12, didn't know if this was a typo by them or if dail in got messed up.
