Best of luck to all the competitors and safe racing to all.

P.S. Thank You Jack for your great pictures.

I’m a few trailers down from Jack. First time here (or anywhere in D1 land) and it’s a cool place! If you’re 2 blocks from any entrance, you wouldn’t know there’s a track here.

Hey guys, I know its late the in the day... its just been a hectic day. We had a oil down that took one hour to clean up. They had to go back a prep the track a few times after the oil down. Super Gas was running and they spinning down track... It was a bad oil down, or should I say Trans fluid oil down. A Super Gas car oiled almost the entire track when trans line broke. Stock was in the lanes at that time, over an hour sitting there.

I have videos and lots of photos, I will try to get them upload as soon as I can... please check back later.

Congrats on your class win Ken. And on top of a Indy class win to boot.

Duster...

Hey all, I'm so sorry for the lack of reports. What a crazy day. I do have lots of stuff to edit and upload, here are a few photos from Super Stock to hold you over until I can get this all done. Its gonna be a long night, so stay with us.

George Vignogna , D/SA, 10.345 @ 125.38, -1.205, and he didn't need it. Maybe it felt too good to lift. Bless his heart, George is a good dude. Congratulations on your class win.
