Yo Ken. Thanks for all the reports, wish I was there. Is that green Camaro Barry's old ride?

[Ken Miele]

Yes I think that's Barry's old car.

Good morning all, the weather is right this morning and should stay about the same for the rest of the day. The weather numbers in the photo says it all. If David can get down the track, 7's should be no problem.

We are supposed to start at 9am, I will be back later with more info. How about the Mendez Bothers Shelby going a 9.10 in SS/FA, they Should be able to get in the 8's today..... with a Super F car, man that's fast.

Well Ken once again you've made me even more jealous about being there as it must be very exciting racing there racing at night plus you being part of Davids' team in his quest to get into the sevens first .And I'm sure the Chevrolet brass that were helping out in your video were happy even though David didn't reach his goal - but the good news is that the 'other' guys didn't either .But there is always today - and another shot at it - good luck to everyone ...............

Ken would a round by round report of the top stock race be doable? A lot of us porch dwellers would like to know. You don't have to figure split times, we can do that. LOL

Wish I had copied Jeff's times that showed up on live timing yesterday...amazing. I can't seem to get the live timing link to work beyond one run and then it freezes. Look forward to the Yo Ken's continuing reports..

[Ken Miele]

Larry, I will do my best, but I have been very busy helping David, its hard to get all the reporting in.

No 7's for the first run. The air is so good and the car is making more power than the track can handle with a 9 inch tire. Steve Bell lined up with David, we were thinking someone is getting into the 7's. It was not to be, both cars spun. Be back after we try it again.

Ken, thanks for all the photos and reporting. Looks like great weather and a great time being had by all. I hope each racer achieves his or her goal down there.
