“Live” from Las Vegas 4 Wide and Double Divisional

Dyno · 04-13-2023, 08:53 PM

I made the drive from the Mpls, Mn area to the races at Las Vegas. I couldn’t get in the Gators, and this has been a “bucket list” track to race at, so why not. Parking seemed to go very quickly this morning and there are still many wide open places to park in. Qualifying begins tomorrow at 8:00 with Stock, following the normal schedule. The weather is perfect and the daily air show is spectacular.

Welcome to Vegas Dan! You're sure right on the quick parking. Weather is looking great as well. Always windy in the spring time around here. The barometer is in the sub basement right now. Can only get better. It probably will Saturday morning at dial in time. See you all tomorrow.

Sticking around for the double??

Duh! I read the title!
We’ll swing by to see you.

Started on time at 8:00 this morning. Traction was good for me and others that I talked to. The wind changes directions everyday, head wind this morning. More later.

The youth of today still enjoy cars. They were about 10 buses of younger teens. They were very nice asking questions. Fans in the stands second round. Had to look!

Things sure did change between the first and second session in SS.

Everything is done for the day. I didn’t see any mishaps or issues, the two Pro sessions went fast and trying to watch 4 at a time is different. NHRA did a good job on track prep from what I observed. First round starts at 8:00 with Stock.

There was a very strong headwind for everyone in Q1. By the time we ran Q2 there wasn't much wind. Now I see the barometer has jumped way up this morning. Oh Boy!

SS 1st Rd. this morning. Primetime matchup: Bertozzi/Lamb. Worth a third cup of Joe and 'crimpets'!
