Default Early Testing at Bradenton

I was sent some photos of early testing down in Bradenton Motorsports Park today. Bo Butner, David Barton, Kevin Skinner, Drew Skillman are among the few racers testing. Its a Factory Stock Showdown test day for the most part, but as you can see from the photos, Randi Lyn Shipp is also there in here iconic Firebird.

I hope to get more photos and even some numbers later today so check back.

Looks like there are more teams down there. First photo is Randy Taylor running a 7.99 at 171. Weather conditions are in the mid 70's with
30.20 barometer and some stiff cross winds.

Thanks to Evan Smith for the photos and reports.

Evan Smith posted some good pics on FB, including a FSXX (presumably) time slip of 7.85 letting off at 156....WOW...and Jim Nichols running his Hemi AA/SA (the ex-Jim Bailey car). Realize FB is a swamp in need of drainage but sure see some good stuff occasionally.
