We got beat first round after the only qualifying run. Our Q run was bad but it was fair for everyone. Get back to the trailer and realize the inverter is having big issues. Should get something figured out today.

330 miles later after installing some new batteries we are at NRC having it diagnosed. We got to hear the finals on the radio as we were leaving.

We drove 670 plus miles in 27 hours with an inverter change, thanks team NRC. We made it back in time to move to the pro pits within the time window allowed by the track. Enough about the old people.

Today is test and tune day for the double Lucas Oil points race. The weather for the week looks very good for racing. If you?re on the fence about competing here load up and come on down. Don?t be sitting in July of next year wishing you had one more grade point race so you can get it to The US Nationals before it closes. With the All Star race next week in Dallas there are some out of division racers that would just love to kick some Div 3 As_.

There is a World Wide Technology app that is available that shows everyone?s time slip. I think it?s a good tool to show me where I need to work on my car.

Ms Sally and crew have the track in great shape, it is clean, plenty of trash cans that are serviced, clean restrooms and port-a-pots.

And Red Man is in the house. What?s not to like?

Double post

Lot of racers here for the double. Test and tune went well they even sprayed the track both lanes in the middle of testing. A funny car was testing and went 4.01 seconds. We should get two Q?s today and start racing Thursday. It could be and has been in the past a qualified field in stock before.

I hope the races from the east coast will be able to make it across the mountains.

Speaking of the qualified fields in STK, I would appreciate if somebody could drop the sheets in this thread once qualifying is complete!

That is what runs were in Q2, not final results.
