There was a decent number of people in the pit-side stands.

I tried sitting over there last year and they kicked me out as well.

Hey folks, sorry for the lack of reports but I had to leave last night. I do have some Hemi shoot out info. David Barton driving Gary Wolkwitz 68 Dart beat Steve Comella in the final this morning. David went a 8.360@157.96 to Steve's 8.608@154.35

Eliminations were to begin at 9 and the weather is great so there should be no reason they have not been well under way.

I'm still trying to get a complete list of records so be patient but this is a partial list.

Dave Thomas FSS/E 9.13 FSS/F 9.14
John Kakalecik SS/DA 9.07 SS/CA 8.89
Mike Ficacci D/S 10.37
George Yago FS/G 9.67
David Barton FS/B 8.54
Jim Kunsak FS/D 9.40
Wayne Totaro B/S 10.12
