Its nice to see Thomas left his car (im assuming), and is there racing it.
Tell him dad and i said hello, and sorry i missed you at VMP Kenny, i was trying to dry out in Daves truck.

Good morning everyone - Well i'm back to reporting a bit but still have a bunch of work before our last quaifier later this AM - somewhere around 9ish i'm told .Yesterday came and went quickly for me and thanks to a bunch of my friends we spent part of the day under a lift changing transmissions and I swear a stick is starting to sound good ! ! But it ain't gonna happen on my watch .And thanks to Ken for filling in for me as the Flash Camaro now shifts again but still has a few gremlins to sort out this morning.

Enough about me - this place is bright and sunny at this moment with the temps in the mid fifties at this hour.Yeah , I know Ken seems to think my weather is flawed but .....And i'm showing the barometer a much improved 29.79 with the VP at .16 with the humidity at 39 percent .And its showing a DA of a couple hundred feet above.

Its time to finish my breakfast and get into the trailer ......And I think i'll head next door so I can mooch a cup of coffee from the Diamond RV folks as they always have some great Joe .......later kids

Ah, the breakfast of champions! 👍

Now there is a good reason to buy a stacker. You could even write it off as a mobile repair unit for the biz. Good luck getting her race ready today Jack.

Final qualifying for Stock and ladder. I will put up Super Stock when its ready. On a side note Jeff Hull also set the record with his 1.308 under pass, teardown went well.

Super Stock final qualifying and ladder. Stock has been called to the lanes for first round.

Silly question...
Is it a miss print that Mr Matyas is running FS/D with a 2015 427? Thought all the 14 & 15 427 COPO cars are natral B cars now, making C the heavy class?
Sorry for the confusion on my part, still a newbe.

[Jack Matyas]

First rounds of both Stock and S/S are now completed and sure was some of the most exciting i've witnessed in a long while .With both Ken and I both out early I'll try and give you whatever is possible as I'm sure Ken is out the gate long ago .


Here are a few 1st round pics........More later .
