Re: Live from Pomona
The wheelstand was almost too impressive. We actually lost a hun in the 60 foot time because of it, but more than made up for it on the other end.
They are finishing up with the pros soon. We will be running our first round..... Air right now is worse than yesterday's afternoon run. Barometer is 28.95, 77.7 degrees, 26% humidity and 2532 feet DA. Wind is picking up and turning into a headwind again. Dialing will be fun! |

Re: Live from Pomona
Thanks, Jason!
I am going through my photos and trying to get them loaded together. Superstock from half track, stock from the starting line....I don't take photos during elims (superstitious about that) |

Re: Live from Pomona
How is Mark Lyle doing on the starting line?

Re: Live from Pomona
Starting line was run very well, very efficient. Never a traction problem at all for us. And no drama. It was very very nice. Kudos to Mr. Lyle and the NHRA for putting him in that position.
Two oil downs during Superstock. Todd Morris started smoking right at the finish line and oiled down the last 1/2 of the track. Keri Angeles Peri also had her engine go right after the starting line. She got right off the track but it still made a good mess. Frank Grossi got REAL lucky that round.... Super Comp was supposed to run after SS, but due to the curfew they did not run tonight. Still starting out with Stock R2 tomorrow at 8:15 am. |

Re: Live from Pomona
It's off and on spitting/drizzling this morning. Very gray and dreary. Not sure if we will get to start on time or not....

Re: Live from Pomona
Still raining a bit harder now. We are on hold for who knows how long due to the rain. Sky is very very cloudy and gray, this drizzle could last a while. Bummer. I don't even hear the jet driier working.
We're going to get donuts for everyone to kill some time..... |
