Nah why walk after that dinner you'l just need to take a few pounds out of the weight box and you'll be right back on weight. LOL See you tomorrow.

Good morning -- Finally ! ! ! The Sun is coming up and we will get started today .And even though we're two days late everyone is chompin' at the bit to get on the Maple Grove quarter mile .

Temps this morning are on the chilly side as they are in the fifties at this time but will climb well into the sixties later .The barometer is still climbing and is now at almost 29.70 with the humidity very high @ 67% but will burn off this morning .

They are saying we are to have windy conditions with gusts up to 40 mph later this morning .

Gates are now open and rigs are moving in as tech is to be open from 8 to 9 this morning only .

Just saw a guy walk by in shorts - I don't think so today ............

Haven't heard the Jet running yet this AM but it's still early .

Back in a bit - going for a walk to see what's going on ........and maybe lose an ounce ot two of last nights' feast .......later .

[Jack Matyas]

A few early morning shots ........It's start engines time .............

One other odd thing - some have the barometer @29.20 while others have it at 29.65 - not sure which is right .........can't be that big of a difference .

One is observed (station pressure) other is correct to sea level?

It's a beautiful day here at the Grove.
Usually we call a day like this, after two rainy days at the track ,Monday!
The jets are running Tech is open and there are cars everywhere.
Maby I can get them to run the drier over my pit spot ,which is usually a very solid spot,but has turned into a river bed after yesterdays storms!

8:50AM and they just called Stock to the lanes/

Stock made their first pass and its anything but fast - 81 made the call .Americn Muscle had 6 come out early - three Mustangs and 3 Challengers with Don Fizell and Steve Ficacci both going 9.39's .Barton led the Mopar guys with a fine 9.53 - they'll be back again .

The DA is @ 1600 plus but with a headwind and no barometer any go fast ideas are in the dumper ............

After checking with a bunch - seems the real deal is around 29.10 - not the big numbers the local TV station is hyping ...........

[BlueOval Ralph]

TV always uses corrected to Sea Level not Station Pressure whitch is actual for you are at if your Baro was set correct. When you call NOOA you should always ask for actual station pressure not corrected to sea level!

I have always wondered why they do that. It's a useless number.
