Live from National Trails Raceway Division 3 LODRS

I got to the track about 5:30 PM and just missed getting through tech. The place is about half full and I have not a clue what happened during test and tune or how many racers participated, since it was over by the time I got here.

I usually do not come to this race because the weather is always hot and humid but we have the continuation of the eliminations for Indy and I'm still in. While we are on this subject I often wonder why they don't have this race the week before the Sportsnationals. I guess it would be too logical.

Hopefully someone at the track has a connection at the track and can post more timely info and pics. I would guess that Mike Beard will be here and chime in.

Schedule has two rounds of qualifying and Indy eliminations start up at three PM. This will be one race were the slower cars may have an advantage. High temp is predicted to be in the low nineties and heat index will be near one hundred.

I'm still in the Indy race, but broke a rod last week, so I'm missing a two-fer in Super Stock. Sucks, but it happens. At least she'll be fast when we get it on track again! I stopped by the track briefly just to get Terry Knott's Stocker through tech. Test n' tuners seemed very lean, and there were only a handful of cars in tech at any given time. I'm only about 20 minutes from the track, so I may be able to do more with pics n' such in the evenings than normal, from home. See y'all in the mornin'.

Did the Indy points race get rained on for the 3rd time?

Just a little bit. They ran second round of the Indy race. Lots of byes and I know at least 2 that will have another bye this round. They just called round 3 of both stock and SS.

On another note, it's SLOW. 1.10 correction, 4200' for the second qualifying run, got a little better after the rain but still 1.085, 3600'.
