Everyone knows how camera shy Dan is.

Don't think seeding the FS/XX cars at the top of the stock ladder is right. They need to be put at the bottom of the ladder. I was told NHRA is considering having 16 car fields for them and thier own championship points chase by someone who has good inside info. Indy will be a 16 car field. That has been decided already.

Sorry folks for the lack of updates and photos, but I have almost no internet access. I use Verizon, and I can not believe they did not put up an extra tower for this race. The fans today were light. I can not imagine what it will be like tomorrow and the rest of the weekend. It took me about an hour just to post this.

DRC has all the latest info up, so at least you can get your qualifying and ladder. I'm hoping the internet gets a little bit better later on tonight so I can upload photos. It was hot and sticky today, the morning shot was not bad, but as soon as the sun came out it was a typical summer day at Norwalk, and yes, the 1 pound 1 dollar ice cream was the order of the day.

I hope to be back later.... fingers crossed.

Agreed. Make it a 16 car field and drop those who do not make it to the bottom, not put them up top.

Next batch, this is it for tonight, I have been at it for 2 hours. If we have rain tomorrow I will head over to AT&T and switch services.

At 5.15 am it rained real hard, it stopped now but very overcast.
Keep your fingers crossed.

8:30 am update - it's very wet and while the rain has stopped, it looks like it could start any minute. Track drying has not started.

Radar shows a lot more rain headed your way. When they start track drying you will know the radar is looking better.

It's a great morning to get breakfast so I'm here with CR Boss Ken and Evan Smith just down the street from the track. This place is "Diners and Dives" worthy.

The Donut Ladies have been out the last 2 mornings.
