Good Morning!

Stock just got its first round of qualifying in the books. I ran toward the front of the session and made it back in time to snag a couple of pictures from the starting line and staging lanes.

Weather-wise my AltaLab showed a 30.00" baro., 60 deg., 80%, .423", and 350' AA. Wind was between 5-8 mph and was a direct headwind. I was about .05-.06 off what I thought the car would run when I left the pits. I talked to a couple other guys that also thought they'd run quicker than they did.

Couple of guys pulled some BIG wheelstands. Jesse Sanderson got vertical in his G/SA '73 Dart right in front of me. Two guys I know of had mechanical issues: Jeff Jerome and Jim Durham. Hope those guys can get them back together and that the damage isn't too bad.

Jared,

Thank you for posting from Sonoma, nice to see what's going on at a race.

[Jared Jordan]

2nd qualifying session for Stock is in the books. Most were off .06-.10 from this morning's qualifying session. Air was almost 500' worse. We are now down 5 stockers due to breakage: Jeff Jerome, Jim Durham, Steve Valkanoff, Bob Aceves, and Larry Chapman. Will be quite a few competition singles on Sunday morning.

They just made the call for 2nd qualifier in SS. I'll post the sheets when I get back to the motorhome.
