Those same people who couldn't show up on Friday are probably going to have a hard time making it on Friday to the make-up race at the next event, one they may or may not have been planning on attending in the first place. NHRA should think about the majority in these situations, not the few people who rolled in on Saturday morning.

Round 1 of stock is complete. A number of breakouts- maybe due to the headwind that died. The temp was 61 at 8:00 this morning and now at 1:30 it's up into the 80s. A good crowd is here already here and more coming in for the "Showdown" this evening

Round 2 is scheduled for 5:00 after the Alcohol cars, jets and wheel standers make their first run. And round 3 sometime after that.

Racing is progressing with no issues ( my fingers are crossed ). S/S has just been called to the lanes for round 1.

Clarance Harding built this COPO from a wreck- doing all the work himself. Still waiting for a Trans from Coan he brought it here to get a grading point. It's the 427 2014 combo. Very nice craftsmanship

The "Porta Party" is open for business with a live band

A quick update at 7:30 Chicago time. Round 2 of Stock is done. S/S will be heading up in about 30-45 minutes for round 2. We are scheduled for at least 1 more round. I have not heard how late they will run tonite - this place has lights.

As the sun is starting to set it has cooled off.

They still running?

Too bad they don't allow that Baldwin/Motion Camaro to run a dual quad tunnel rammed 454 in Stock.

The late model cars get away with some pretty bogus stuff and since the floodgates are open a Mr Norm 440 SixPack Dart, 454 Motion Vega or the 65 Mustang 427 SOHC AFX cars should be fair game. They did sell them that way.

Yep still running at 10:25 pm. A Top Sportsman car just lost it so we will be down for a while. Top alcohol classes have been called and the fans have been promised that the Jets will run at or about 11:00.

How much longer???? It's getting late.

on the way home I was watching D3TV from Rt 66, they got another round in for SST, Stock & SG and sent everyone packing back to the pits before the rain came in, looks like it will be a long day, kind of glad we lost early now.
