Great pictures and movies, Ken! Leaving the house at 0300 and should be there when the gates open. Looking forward to this weekend!

I thought 68 Mustangs had rear side marker lights. Cool video.

Ken Miele · 04-11-2013, 10:16 PM

Larry you are correct, but I think the car being from Sweden and all, we can over look it. Besides it was not mandatory to have side maker lights in Sweden in 1968.

Tomorrow we start at 8:30 with qualifying, this is a two day race if the weather holds out. They call for scatter showers in the morning and a stray shower in the afternoon, so we could have a late start.

This weekend will be important for the Jegs Allstar race. In stock, we have 4 guys fight for the lead. Dave has the lead, the but all four contenders are here this weekend.

David Ficacci
Donnie Carrol
Joe Lisa
Donald Pires

In Super Stock, there are three contenders and all are here fighting for the lead with Kent in the lead.

Kent Hanley
Joseph Santangelo II

Look forward to all the reports,pictures and videos Ken!

Good morning all, its raining at the moment and we will surely be having a late start today. The rain is supposed to clear out by noon, with just chance of rain later today. The rest of the weekend looks to be very nice.

More later....

'68 was first year of side marker lights in U.S. I believe. May not have been required on "export" models?

Ken Miele · 04-12-2013, 12:56 PM

Walt, Jack will not be here. The track is dry and they just called stock to the lanes.

I will be back later with more photos and hopefully an in car cam from Super Stock.

Ken Miele · 04-12-2013, 02:35 PM

Stock has just finished up for the first qualifying run. Super Stock is in the lanes as I type.

As you can see from the photos in the tech line, the weather looked bad, but the sun is out now and the rain looks to be over. For you weather nuts here are the numbers for stocks first run.

Temp 84
Bar 29.41
Hum 50
DA 3029FT

be back later....

Ken Miele · 04-12-2013, 04:49 PM

Here are some photo's.... We are suppose to get another run today. They still have to run comp and top sportsman and top dragster and I think another qualifying shot for alcohol. They are also running drag bikes, so lots of classes to go.

I am editing a cool in car cam, it should be up soon.
