Re: LIVE from Infineon Raceway!
 
Sorry for the lack of reporting today. We decided to add a little "vacation" to our racing and spent the day touring the nearby Wine Country. Ate at Bottega in Yountville, CA.

We got back to the track about 4 pm and T&T was wrapping up. The only ET I know of was Calvert who ran 8.84 @ 154 into a pretty stiff headwind. Car had AAA/SA on the window.

The last pass of the day was pretty exciting. Mark Madison in his beautiful black Hemi '65 CC/SA Belvedere pulled a HUGE wheelstand, had to lift when it wasn't going straight, bounced and got the oil pan. When it bounced, it hit hard enough for Mark's foot to slam back down on the throttle. Mark was able to save it and drove down the track, but unfortunately left a trail of oil behind him. As it was already 40 minutes past the scheduled 5pm shutdown, T&T was called for the day.

Schedule tomorrow shows Stock first out at 9am. If DRC doesn't beat me to it, I'll post the qualifying sheets.

Later!

Good Morning!

Stock just got its first round of qualifying in the books. I ran toward the front of the session and made it back in time to snag a couple of pictures from the starting line and staging lanes.

Weather-wise my AltaLab showed a 30.00" baro., 60 deg., 80%, .423", and 350' AA. Wind was between 5-8 mph and was a direct headwind. I was about .05-.06 off what I thought the car would run when I left the pits. I talked to a couple other guys that also thought they'd run quicker than they did.

Couple of guys pulled some BIG wheelstands. Jesse Sanderson got vertical in his G/SA '73 Dart right in front of me. Two guys I know of had mechanical issues: Jeff Jerome and Jim Durham. Hope those guys can get them back together and that the damage isn't too bad.

2nd qualifying session for Stock is in the books. Most were off .06-.10 from this morning's qualifying session. Air was almost 500' worse. We are now down 5 stockers due to breakage: Jeff Jerome, Jim Durham, Steve Valkanoff, Bob Aceves, and Larry Chapman. Will be quite a few competition singles on Sunday morning.

They just made the call for 2nd qualifier in SS. I'll post the sheets when I get back to the motorhome.
