Great lake effect rain ? And yes the track owner is a great guy .

Good morning members and guests - Even at this early hour (6:05) the Summit crew are out and running heavy equipment to dry the track and get things ready for our 8 AM start and at this time I see no reason why that won't happen .We'll go right back to where we left off with Q runs first and go right into first rounds .

Me ?? Tough night after an OD on that free ice cream ......

Jacko, No live timing today?

Sorry. It's showing under the second race...the 20th

Good morning - So for me it's on to race #2 after joining the 'round 1 losers club' - a very not like me super early red-light .


Even though we ran late yesterday we are now well behind and it will take most of today to finish the first race - hopefully the weather holds out .Track officials are doing their best to keep things moving - good news is we've not had a lot of oil downs and on track incidents .

While here the aging Mr.Billy Nees put on a small seminar to show he still has the 'stuff' it takes to do whatever needed to race at this level .Between Q runs his Powerglide decided to stop working well .That said I asked where his spare was and was told 'why'?? And then calmly said he could fix his and went on to take it out ( and without a trans jack I might add) and proceeded to take it apart and 'ham and egg' it back together.With some help from friends they lifted it back in place (again with no jack- just muscle) and made the next Q run .Billy proved once again he's got some years left .......

This event has to be uncomfortable, I see 77 degree dew point forecasted on Sunday 12 noon.

That sequence of photos reminds me of a sign I saw at a store the other day.

Race it, break it, fix it, repeat.

I might add - -No Whining allowed

Somehow I don't think that fits this case at all --- that little chevy carries a 307 v8 with an extremely small 2 barrel .......
