Looks like some are working on their averages, and who can blame them. What a great system and no, I don’t have a good fix either.

I think there was at least 1 Camaro in every pair of stock.. Sure isn't like watching division 5 races.

Hey guys, here are some shots from the staging lanes. I don't have my NHRA media credentials for the event, so I wont get any starting line shots. I'll head to the top end in a bit for finish line photos.

We are still on schedule for 3 runs. Its cloudy but no rain.

Another batch...

So I must eat my words - the NHRA is trying very hard for everyone to get their three passes in today - is this part of the new NHRA? Most categories have had two already with time for the third .Sheets are a little slow in coming but I'll do what I can.

Well everyone got their three runs down the Maple Grove surface and S/S finished their class runoffs .....Then the rain hit -not sure how much we are to but at least it held off .And just for the record I did stop off to pickup sheets and they were closed ! ! !
