Friday test and tune rained out.

Prediction for earlier today was 79 - 79 - 80. 79 degrees, 79 % humidity, 80% chance of showers. Here in Freeland, 60 miles east/northeast, it started sprinkling about 4:30, it's raining now at 10 PM. I'll be leaving about 6:30 AM, hope it's stopped raining by morning.

Barometer is low - 28.85 and temps are in the low 70s this morning. A number of the first cars out spun. It starting sprinkling after 10 pair went down the track. After about 20 minutes qualifying continued. Car count looks weak across all eliminators.

Walked up to the starting line this morning, not much to work with. However, the track seems to be hooking great after the first ~10 stockers ran. My car left great, tons of big wheelies in SS (hope somebody has a picture of Jeremy Duncan's), the Wescotts both got down the track well. Brad and the rest of the guys on the starting line seem to be doing a damn good job!

On another note, the scales are about 40 lbs light compared to Columbus.

I am guessing that there is no DRC there? No reports of anything even going down track. Wanted to drive out late today and visit tomorrow, but the forecast looks pretty weak. Those that are there, keep us informed as to weather conditions and your thoughts if a race can even happen tomorrow.

We had spotty rain several times but I think all the qualifying rounds got in. It will be cool but the race should get in. There is still no DRC but that is not the first time. I am guessing it will happen later.

Sunday morning - 53 degrees and a light drizzle. Radar map forecast shows the showers circling the area for much of the day. Track driers are out there.

Stock and S/S got a 4th run last evening around 8:00.

Some racers have already pulled out.
