Morning everyone, its a cool clear 52 degrees going up to 70. The wind has died down and should not be an issue for today.

Stock is out first with Super Stock to follow. I think the day will go fast baring any unforeseen incidences.

For those of you following the stock points, Dustan Lowell's dq and Joe Santangelo going out in the second round could leave the door open for a few racers to take the D1 title.

For your weather nuts here are the numbers for this morning.


Temp 52
Humid 63%
Bar 29.84
Da 114 feet
Wind cross 2-4mph

For those of you wondering its a cool crisp morning here at Atco - perfect Fall weather for a race - the jet is running and final preps are being made by both Joe Sways' staff and the NHRA team led by Director Lang .Start is to be in a little more than half an hour and plenty of racers are out parading to the scales etc .

Couple of final things - I was a little late getting going this morning thanks to Gloria Ley - why ? She was serving hot sticky buns with walnuts - just can't pass them up .Second there was plenty to talk about this morning - but i'm here partly because Kenny promised year end bonus checks to the reporters ( listening Sal ) who are in attendance today and partly because I just couldn't stay home .

Back soon ........As usual ClassRacer will be here for you .

For the record, Giermanski was not hard on the brakes. He has driven that car for a long time and was never one to get on the brakes hard.

Jack, I have some bad news about the year end bonus. Well its good and bad really, I'm getting one your not.

Here is a tidbit on the GT/AA challenge at Las Vegas. I have been informed by reliable sources that Gary Richard will have his GT/AA ride (picture below) ready to do battle and heading west, Don Kennedy are you listing.

The Camaro is part of the PC stable and is driven by Ed Alessi Jr.
