Will there be any runs made Thursday?. I hear that there will be 2 qualifying runs Friday and then right into class runoffs that afternoon?

We got one qualifying run at St. Louis. I think one is all Super Stock got as well. The schedule for Atlanta shows nothing but parking and tech on Thursday, that's what I'd expect. I'm not sure we'll make Atlanta, even less sure I'll make it even if Kevin does.

I think you guys parked next to us a couple of years ago. They're really bad about holding the sportsman racers they have stacked outside, and letting the pro motor homes in, during sportsman qualifying. I've seen people miss at least a round of sportsman qualifying by not being parked Thursday night. It almost happened to us a couple of years ago. I'm sure it'll be even worse if they run class.

yea i remember your car. dad and I were trying to decide on thurs or fri, but knowing our luck we will get in late and be rushed to make a round of qualifying Fri morning. I assume they will start qualifying about 10, and if you get in the gates by 8, unloading, tech, and etc etc, it will be hard to get all that done.

I'm pretty sure they started qualifying at 9 that year, we brought a friend and his Super Street car, he did not make 1st round qualifying, and we barely did. Also, look closely at the weather, the worse it looks, the earlier they'll start, especially with them running class.

I'm not a racer, but I believe that's right. Last year was Sportsman all day Thursday. Too bad they couldn't keep it that way this year. I'm not sure if they are running all the same classes this year as last. I really enjoy Hard Core Thursday for taking pictures. Hope ya'll will make it?
