I just pulled into Numidia for the D1 race and this is what I saw. Holy S***, what a terrible scene, hope all involved are ok. Talk about a bad start to the weekend!

That's Mike and BJ Graham's car, and Mike standing by it. Leroy Duran normally driving it lately, but I don't know about here.

Actually, I think that is their previous car that they sold to a D 1 racer....pretty sure the Graham’s have a Mustang now.....

Dave, Mike and Bj sold the car Iast year to a guy in New York. The car was sent back to Mike so he could do a new motor for it. I did race the car at the division race at Fontana a couple weeks ago. As far as what happen today I was not involved nor was Mike and thankful no one was hurt either.

This is a great track. I won the points race here in 1997

Good morning all, start time should be at 9am. I few more shots from yesterday. The first 3 shots are of Tom Russell in Gary Russell's '67 A/S Camaro. I was talking to Tom for a bit, this car has so much history, and it has the original paint. A purple color I never saw before and it has the original top also. Gary bought it in 68 I believe, such a cool car.

About the accident in the staging lanes, from talking to a few people, the driver thought it was in neutral when he hit the throttle. It not only hit James Daniels's car it drove Daniel's car into the car in front of him. Daniel's car also had significant damage. I don't know the name of the driver, I'm sure someone will let us know. No one was hurt, and it shows you how dangerous the pits and staging lanes can be at times.

Morning Ken. Glad no one was hurt, cause it sure could have been worse. Question: Will D1 TV be up and running today? Many thanks to you and all those that provide race coverage to us folks stuck behind a desk. Have a good , safe race are my wishes to all.
