probably would cost a lot to set up a portable tower for only a couple weekends per year.

At the Gators they had set up a portable tower. So it can be done. No idea what the cost would have been

It would be nice if they would setup a tower for the week. Anyway the service is still okay. Stock and Super Stock are done, the super classes will get one more shot today. Top classes are running now followed by Comp.

Today's racing went well, and the sun is out with blue sky's and a nice breeze unless your going down the track. There is a good head wind today, 6-8mph. There was one causality today in Super Stock. John DiBartolomeo's SS/BS 86 Camaro had a motor let go through the traps. Lots of smoke and a little down time, John slowed the car down with no issues.

As far as the weather goes, its a very nice day, but not fast compared to the east coast, but I will take. I Should have some in car videos up later tonight. Here some random shots of the day.

I'm sure most of you know the Stock final from Bristol was to be run here. They just ran, Dan Fletcher gets the win over Michael Brand. Dan was .017 on the tree and .002 over his dial, to Michael's .033 and breaking out by.055.

Had a busy morning. DQ'd first pass in Stock with a bad batch of fuel (from off-site), but got that squared away for Q2. The starter on the Volare vegan acting a little funny on the last run last week. We planned on changing it tonight, but it had other plans. The last time it started was to make the Q1 run, and then the solenoid gave up completely on top end. Thanks to the guys that pushed me to the scales. Terry and Dusty were kind enough to change the starter while I made Q2 in the Dart Sport.

Q2 in Super Stock, I was in the pair following John D's unfortunate boomer. Several different starting line crew came by now and then asking if I wanted to be pusged back. "Nah, I've got Mickey Thompsons!" After the cleanup, I fired it up, dropped it into gear, and actually had to tap the throttle -- the car was stuck to the track! LOL

No burnout, the car left like a rocket, and the 60' moved .001. :-) Yo Ken got it on the Go Pro, so look for the in car video later tonight.
