How about, just toss out the Thursday runs and see you for class Friday morning for the DQ guy???

BTW, if you happen to see Jim Zane walking around today, wish him a happy 70th birthday!!!

I think the NHRA should have a "New Guy" service. I know that it was very confusing for me at my first National. But, I am also the guy that forgets to stop at the scales sometimes......

Good morning gang - Its day two with plenty of excitement in store for this morning .Although its overcast the conditions are pretty much the same as yesterday except the barometer is a tad lower so yes, fast conditions are going to be with us during Stock class eliminations for sure .

Seems we have two types of folks watching the events - those who like 'new' cars / Shootout cars and those who like vintage iron .It really doesn't matter which you like as both sides will have plenty to watch and enjoy .

Track dryers are doing their magic as I type to ensure a great racing surface as it was yesterday .We are to start in about an hour and there are already lines to get in .The slight rain / mist we had around 6am didn't seem to slow things up one bit .All that and later today the Sun is scheduled to reappear and warm things up.

Back after the last Stock quaifier .............

Holy cow Batman - from out of nowhere a huge downpour hit and this will set us back hours from the start .We didn't see this coming ............And since I took these pics the storm has picked up more steam .......not good - not good at all ! ! !
