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 .

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/

Unhappy Re: Live from the 40th annual "Pennsylvania Dutch Classic"

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 ............

Is this a way to avoid triggering the AHFS.

The Barometer is much lower than average for this track at this time of year, the traction has been ok, not great, but i believe it is just that we need more track temp, they have done a great job grooming it. The hemi shootout ran 1st rd and there were a few redlights(Daniels for one) and some shut off runs, no real good side by side runs. both sr and jr are still in, sr had the bye. The cross wind is strong enough that they are running top and comp 1/8th mile. They also ran the muscle car shootout, 6 cars and there were some 9.30's

generally it is 50/50 sun and clouds, nice fall windy day

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