I was watching qualifying and they were having a lot of trouble with the clocks. Did they get it all fixed? Several cars didn't get a time recorded.

Thanks folks, I think they have it all worked out with the timing system, but who knows.

The rain has stopped, but no sun out and the temps are dropping. We are supposed to have lows in the lower 40's tonight and only a high of 60 today.

Does NHRA or the track have a jet dryer there?

Seems like this would be ideal conditions to use one.

I don't seem to see them much anymore, perhaps because of fuel costs.

NHRA national events all have track drying equipment.

The rain has stopped, Top fuel will be out around 2:30. Sportsman to follow the pros.

Of course they do and they are using a jet dryer along with their other equipment to dry the track.

Thanks for the update.
