A bit chilly and really windy today. A few rain showers here and there. I didn't hang around. Not sure if the test and tune happened.

We got one run in....the track is going to return
1/2 of the $100. the test and tune cost is my understanding.

24 hours made a big difference. Not a whisper of wind, sun shine and jacket weather for sure. A few cars I haven't seen this year. Just driving around the place is pretty full. Haven't heard a car count.

Change of schedule. No third qualifier. First round tomorrow morning. I also heard anyone that was planning on racing tomorrow and had not made a run yet. They need to call Mike Rice. Might not see a ladder til morning.

There is possibly 4 more to be added to stock. Regular mystery novel. I guess we'll find out in the morning. My math says if 4 cars get added to the bottom I have a heads up. Is it good to know now or in the morning? I'm not going back tonight that's for sure.

Appreciate the reports Paul. Lot of anticipation waiting for the ladders to be posted. Would be kinda cool for Santangelo to magically appear on the sheet but recognize it would be a tall mountain to climb given how Cooter is driving. Would never count out Burton though so the NHRA broadcast will probably get lots of views. The single camera view from the tower leaves me wanting more of Warren’s expertise but guess what we see is what we get.

Was actually expecting a full field, inflation sucks.

I went to get my refund and they said it is a credit on my account to use later. 😡

Although not a Stock or super Stock car, (although he does run late model Cobra Jet Mustangs in those classes), I noticed in the Vegas LODRS race,qualifying list, for Top Sportsman, Gary Coe from Oregon is qualified with a 7.62 @ 178 MPH in a 1957 Custom 300. Back in the 60s, Coes raced a 57 Ford in C/Altered, called the "Gunfighter", that was always a fan favorite in the Northwest, before he got into Pro Stock. Anyhow, as a fan of 50s Fords , if anybody could put up some photos of Coes new 57 Ford, it would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Jon had a heads up in D/SA
We did not find out about ladder changing
until 10 or 15 minutes before we had to head up.
Jon pulled it out by 3 or 4 hundred but it would be nice to
have a little warning up to prepare the car.

I heard Alan Reinhart say there are about 700 cars that entered. Looks like down to Brad as far as the Championship for this race in stock. Could be another D/SA heads up John in the 3rd round for you.
