All went well, but we did finish late having some down time because of the wind.

Good morning everyone, start time is 8:30 with the Juniors, followed by 2nd round Super Street then 1st for Stock. The weather numbers are below, rain is supposed to hit by noon, but who knows.

A quick note... there are 565 plus cars here, what does that say about the state of Drag Racing. Why do we keep coming?

Weather numbers as of 7:40AM

Temp 75
Humid 88%
Bar 29.66
DA 2340
Water Grains 112
VP .7571
Winds calm

Congratulations to Emily Volkman and Joe Tysinger on their class wins yesterday. Two of the classiest people and families in drag racing. Good luck today. Hope to see you two race for the Wally.

Here's a few more minutes of some random Stock & Super Stock action. Burnouts, launches, and finish line views. Enjoy.

Halfway through stock and the rains have come... it was light at first, but its coming down hard now.

Bobby, I love the finish line shots from super stock. You were standing about where I stand for class eliminations. I will be at Firebird Raceway in June. Class is run on Saturday and I will be at 1200 ft. for sights and sounds.

Charles Stewart · 03-04-2023, 03:01 PM

How about "those sounds" at 1200 feet.
Simply pure symphonies.

more, more, more.

Where are the JET Track Driers ? maybe its about $$ for fuel or environmental issue ?

Hey guys, they called Stock back to the lanes around 3:30 to finish first round. The track was not ready, lots of Stockers having traction issues. For my run the starting was okay, but as soon as I clicked it into 2nd gear it was like I was on ice. I went and looked at the live timing and you could see two long black tire marks as I shifted. Super Comp was even worse, as soon as they came off the throttle stop they lost traction. We have been down for at least 2 hours no word on when we run again... the are working on the track.

Who ever is in charge here is making a huge mistake at putting cars down this track tonight.
