Agreed not an easy place to race. staging lanes
in that weird hole where it is very hard to tell what
the wind is doing. Up hill then into the wind
tunnel under the tower that does not help any.....

Bang... Bust'n Chops!

And a Cracker Barrel that does help a some...

I agree with Ed....but fact of the matter is that everyone races under the same conditions. It is slow, but it is slow for everyone.

4800' DA this afternoon, bad head wind, and 28.60 Baro. My rings are still coming around, only run time on them was putting it in the trailer. Picked up each pass, but only went .76 under. I have zero data in these conditions with this strong of a head wind. Nobody I can compare to tested today, so I don't know if I found what slowed it down, or not. Tomorrow the cars I can compare to will run, then I will have a better idea. I think if anybody ran a second under today, they are in good shape. :-)

4800'.....big head wind....your aero Pontiac....70 something under... Ed, I think you will be just fine.

Head wind to a tail was always . 2 tenths and with that baro it would be more. tom

Ed, I think anyone who ran -0.76 yesterday is in good shape!!

Good morning all! Day 1 is officially underway here at HPT. With Top Alcohol here this weekend, it's hard to tell whether or not there are more Stk/SS cars. SST has been called to the lanes, so we are not too far off from Stock's first hit. They are batting 2nd today, and SS batting cleanup. Two hits each today so long as the schedule holds, we'll be done around 1 or 2. Maybe earlier. So the heat won't be as much of a factor as it will be tomorrow. As of now, we get a hit in the morning, then on to eliminations. Stay tuned and check DRC for more info and results.

Again, a special thanks to Phil Unruh for providing the sponsorship for coverage here this weekend.

Gotta love the heat!! Time to race!!
