SuperStreet And Stock had their last Q-shot this morning - headwind and most were anywhere from 3 to 7 slower than yesterday morning . Weather is not too terrific -overcast and rain on its way according to the local weathermen - 64 degrees 39 %humidity and the barometer at 28.60 with a DA at 2343 .

We're on hold at the moment -- wind has dust on the track and is picking up steam as I type (see pic ) .

For those of you wondering about teardown yesterday I spoke with Brad Burton (Pomona winner) this morning and they made it thru just fine .

10:30-- Forget the dust -- the rains have arrived and the proverbial cats and dogs are coming down -- we'll be on hold a long time ..............

Jack,

We had that same rain storm here in Orange County (by Disneyland)
last night and it only lasted less than one hour. Hope you guys get
as lucky.

And snoring really loud.................this will teach 'em ..............

The new standard is that you need to run at least your index to take a class win on a single.

We just flat out missed the change and apologize for the confusion. The reports will be corrected.

4:10 -- Pro Stock is on the track -- SuperGas will follow ...........
