Thanks Skills, but I think it might miss us. Like Jack said they pulled the plug for today. Tomorrow we all get one run and then later in the day first round for stk and ss. Here is a link to the schedule.

Here are some shots of the pits from the top of my motorhome. Anywhere there is a dry spot they are parking rigs.

Believe it or not the big storm that was coming missed us - everyone has spent the day digging out or helping someone get pitted .Or get teched -- or just plain standing around bench racing or --- well, you get it - what a waste of a day .

And there are still rigs parked in the staging lanes .

If you're looking for some free swag - stop by the Chevrolet Performance area - sign in with your email and they'll give you a nice backpack bag - did I mention the free word ?

Later ........

With not much to do this afternoon I went roaming around the pits for some new shots - first , I found Jim Boburkas' new 2012 Chevy COPO Camaro 427 LS7 car - it a beauty as you'll see .

Jack Matyas · 10-04-2012, 05:22 PM

Next it was off to the Ford camp - I wanted to check out the new CobraJet C/S of Mike Ficacci .This Anthony Bongiovani owned CJ with help from Resource One and Micro Strategies is a work of art on wheels - you've got to check it out .
