Well it has been a rainy night here in Columbus. I never did hear it raining very hard, but there are a few puddles this morning. It is about 60 degrees and not supposed to warm up much today. 64 for the high. It isn't raining right now, but I don't hear the track dryers going yet. Super street is supposed to run in 15 minutes and I haven't heard a race car running yet. I would imagine that we are going to be running a little behind today. The radar doesn't show any rain in the area now, but possible showers this afternoon and turning colder tonight. Low about 40! Should be fun dialing for first round in the morning!

Patty, The gentleman with the White firebird is Richard Mowat. He drives for Glen. Thank you for the pictures. It is always great to see everyone and all their cars. I hope someone is making a collection of all these photos for the future.

Well they just called super street up. They will start running in 20 minutes at 9. Then Stock first round of class. We lost our run this morning as did Super Stock since they will begin with class also. There are 8 A/SA cars if nobody else came in overnight. 10 B/SA. More later.

We just finished up 1st round of class. I think 100 cars went down this morning. We won the first round, but we have Bo Butner driving Irvan Johns car next, so so much for Class! It is windy and still only 60 degrees, so a little chilly today. They had to re-run stick combo because they did not handicap the start. It looked like we were running class like we used to with winners in both lanes! More later.

Did you use the ladder in A/SA?

It wasn't used in F/SA and there was at least one very upset driver and it wasn't me,I could care less.

My dad said they didn't use a ladder in E. I thought it was in the rule book now that a ladder is used for class everywhere? It doesn't matter that much overall, but they need to decide if they're using it or not.

Sorry I haven't been posting all day. A/SA did use a ladder, but I think lots of other classes did not. I thought it was supposed to be used all the time now, so I don't know what happened. I had printed out the ladder for A/SA and they had no problems at all.

We just now ran the 2nd round of class. Between a little rain, wind, oildowns and a crash, the day has just drug out. Larry got beat by Bo Butner and it was really just a blowout. If something is not done to get these Mustangs factored correctly, there won't be any old cars left running--but I guess that is the way the Ford owned NHRA wants it! That car can run 9.60 easily and nobody can get close enough to make him go far enough under to get horsepower. I'm sure Gary Richards and Bo will have a deal in the finals so that they still won't go quick enough to get power.

Doubt that!!!
Mr. Richard doesn't make deals. That combo will get power at end of the year. If not this week.
