Stock Q1 is in the books:

Kevin Skinner leads the Factory Stock class with an 8.449 at over 160. As expected, the quickest 8 Showdown cars are all supercharged. After one session, the bump is Roy Hill's 8.68. David Barton has top speed at 162.12.

Currently, the field has a nice mix
4 Cobra Jets (Skinner, Holbrook, Fezell and Hill)
2 COPO's (Barton, Harem)
2 Drag Pak's (A. Stanfield, Allegrucci)

There are 20 official Showdown entries including 5 N/A cars.

Now this is where is might get a bit confusing. The official qualifying sheet has been modified to reflect the addition of the Factory Stock Showdown. Basically, the top eight showdown cars are listed on a separate sheet so Anthony Bongiovanni (who is the first alternate in the Showdown) is listed as the No. 1 qualifier with a (-1.209) 8.691. This seems like a good way to separate the two classes since the traditional Stock qualifying sheet will reflect the ladder for eliminations. Basically, if you're playing the ladder game, you can look at the sheet from the previous round and have a decent idea of where you stand instead of having the manually remove the eight Showdown qualifiers. Everyone got that?

As for the weather, it is slightly overcast and a bit humid but we're running cars down the track so that officially makes it a nice day.
