Kudos to the boss for taking and posting so many pics. Your car looked good first round, 8.50’s is flying, and first car down the track. See Perone slapped the wall past the finish line, hope he and car are okay.

Hey all, The bad news its raining, a light mist. The good news is that Stock, Super Stock, Super Comp and Super Gas got their two eliminations runs before the rain came.

James is okay and the car has slight damage, nothing he can't fix.

Here are some random shot from yesterday, I had no time to get any today. The first photo is the ice man, if you run a blower car ice is a must have, I swear we spend more on ice than we do fuel. Also I little down time as clean up is in progress.

A few more, there is still a light mist. Its going to be one of those days.

A few shots from rd1 of Stock...…….A couple of the photos show the huge handicaps given - Bob Bender in his lumbering Kingswood wagon won his round against Mike Iacono in his killer Supercharged Cobra Jet and Gary Richard driving his big block 69 Camaro won his race against Lauren Kanuik in her 77 Grand Prix .The H/SA heads-up between Jimmy D and Dan Lynch was taken by Dan in the battle of Camaros .And check out Joe Lisas' super sanitary black 68 Camaro .

As racers most of us like a good run by anyone. Capps just went 339 mph at 3.83

Notes from today..... Mike Epprecht in P/SA went 1.236 under in first round. He lost and was told go to the barn. He was torn down and passed with no issues. The weather this morning was 10 to 15 better than yesterday.

Tomorrows start time is 10am for Stocks 3rd round. There is a 30% chance of rain between 8 and a 11am, so who knows what tomorrow will bring.

Good morning guys, and its another cool morning, 58 and the present time. It is supposed to go up to the mid 70's with partly cloudy skies today. The forecast has changed a little as a slight chance of rain may happen around 1pm.

Here are some more photos that did not make prime time.
