Left side of the Stock ladder called and it starts to lightly sprinkle..........

Heavy gray overcast skies continue to roll in from the west

Lots of spectators!!!

Meet S/S racer Ron Matchum. Ron is the guy that bought Dragway 42 and is transforming it into a first class racing facility. It's been a huge project that has been going for almost 2 years. Ron expects the track to open in July- and I'm looking forward to the IHRA event there in September

Several cars came in, shuffling the ladders, freeing up some from heads up runs, but putting others together. Make sure you check for your opponent and the first three designated pair.

Jay sent me the final qualifying data and the ladders are posted on DRC.

2:00. Down again for very light sprinkle. Track has announced that we are in the edge of a cell where 15 miles to the south there is steady rain.

Right hand of of Stock ladder is on hold.

Back to racing. We are moving forward with pre-race ceremonies now, then Alky cars, etc. so the remainder of S/C Q2 will wait, along with E1 of Stock, which was sent back to the pits while it was still sprinkling.

[Mike Delahanty]

First the good news - it has stopped drizzling

The bad - Stock Round 1 has been pushed off till later.

We have moved into the Alcohol car qualifying.

Skies look better. But the schedule is way behind.

Got some more decal work done, taking the old single-color cut vinyl M/T decals off of Terry's trailer that I made him in 2005, and replaced them with the full color printed ones that I just took off the Volare last night! Gotta love reusable decals. :-) I made some bigger ones for my car.

Getting some new M/T's mounted during the downtime.

Coming down pretty good now...

Thanks for the updates everyone and please keep them coming as this event has special significance to me since it was the last race I participated in 2012 before I had my stroke, looked it up and actually ran .90 under not too bad for a tired old worn out horse and driver

1st round of stock is in the books. I got lucky when Paul Bolster went red,but he must have felt pressured by the fact that he did not get a qualifing pass.

Things of inteset in the first round. Chuck Beach beat one of Dan Fletcher sons in his COPO Camaro with a .007 package. There were a unusual number of no shows due to the fact that earlier the announcer said that stock was through for the day and did not make the correction soon or clear enough. Some left and some started to consume adult beverages and thought better of showing up after that. I would be pretty upset if I would have done that. Good thing I was taking a nap when that was announced.

I did win the stock wheel stand style and lenght prize ($100.00 each).
Thank you SMP, Joel Rabe and Leo Glassenberner (spelling?). Chris Holbrook won $100.00 ech for #1 qualifer,quickest ET, fastest MPH (160.00) and fan favorite for a total of $400.00.

My wife told that the live feed on D3TV was anything but with stock only showing a few of the single passes. Whats up with that? What did anyone else see?

After being up for almost 24 hours I have awakened from my "nap". Here are some shots from Friday's action.
