Q1 Super Stock, some of the shots, the windshields washed out, the sun was brutal at times for photos.

Next batch, I will be back later with Stock and the FSS cars.

Tomorrow mornings Stock ladder is out and with 5 E/SA cars in a 52 car field I would have bet on two of them meeting ….but no .However Joe Lisa's E/SA 68 Camaro is giving a few seconds spot to Mike Moller's lumbering 4 door Nova U/SA for the biggest handicap of round one .Only one heads-up - Ronnie Infantino's 69 Camaro G/SA vs Dennis Pope's 85 Camaro from D2.Can anyone read the weather for early tomorrow morning ????

Hey guys I'm back, Stock action today from Evan Smith, I can not get back in time to shoot Stock from my runs so I was able to get Evan to help out.

Ken Miele · 05-17-2019, 10:03 PM

Factory Stock Showdown action from today......

Randy Eakins Cobra Jet made a hard move going through the traps in Q2. It looked like the engine expired and Randy hit the wall pretty hard as it spun around. Randy it okay but the car will need lots of work. Randy is a super nice guy that runs his program by himself. No one lines him up, no crew with radios, he is old school. I hated to see this happen. This is just my opinion, but the Cobra Jets are spinning there motor much higher to make up for the the pulley changes made this season. While it may slow them down it might have a negative effect on engine life.
