Your #1 SS Qualifier Tony DePillo at 8.69. WOW!

It looks to be a perfect day for racing today at National Trail Raceway. It's in the 50s now and chilly. It looks like the strong tailwind will be replaced with the usual crosswind out of the west.

And while talking weather, those forecasts of heavy rain yesterday were wrong - a few periods of light sprinkles accounted for less than 45 minutes of downtime.

Looks like a schedule change for Saturday. Stock runs round 1 much earlier at 12:30.

Stock Q3 and the ladder. I hear Stock will run 2 rounds today. The run this morning was quicker than yesterday with some cars picking up as much as a tenth.

Several SS cars had issues in the right lane this morning with Keith Lynch taking a hit to the right side of his Drag Pak Challenger.

Just before Lynch ran, Bill Foder wheelied to the left and his tire hit the center concrete divider and took out the front tire.

Closest I've ever come to wrecking was in the right lane there. Wheelstood to the left hard. Had to pedal and landed so hard I broke a motor mount and drove the crossmember up into the oil pan. At the time I felt water had been drug up too far on the left side of the right lane but wasn't certain.

Just before Foder ran, Irvin Johns also launched to the left and had to abort his run. I hope they get that lane sorted out.

Thanks for all of the photos and updates!
