Good morning - Best thing I can say this morning is that Spring is back as the high today is to be low seventies - cloudy and at this moment I can hear pitter-patter on my roof .Nothing huge is expected but it might delay the start this AM.
Yesterday was terrific here at Cecil -yes it was hot but super conditions for sure with the track being in the best shape i've ever seen here .On the flip side of things the q-sheets really don't show the true performance of the Stock and S/S cars in attendance because of the large amount of 1000' passes.This 'new' way of controlling the fast cars isn't working - just making it boring. Hope the NHRA is listening . This morning when we get started it will be juniors then SuperStreet followed by Stock. Later ................

So the weather is holding out as S/street and Stock got their first rounds in .The Sun is trying to peak out every now and then with no drops falling .S/Stock has just been called for their first round .

According to your formula, that is a 10.87.The car was about 2 tenths slower than that. |

11.39 1.607 60' 9.520 X 1.19 = 11.328 11.40 1.608 60' 9.523 X 1.19 = 11.332 If multiplied by 1.20 - 11.424 11.427 I guess the formula is sensitive to a car's potential, plus, multiplying by 1.19 or 1.20 makes a substantial difference. I was thinking NHRA could use a formula to determine what a 1000' foot run would be 1320 feet, but it appears it's not that cut and dried. Thanks P.S. Sorry for the hijack.

A few minutes ago the storm hit and I'm not sure how long it will last but the place is soaked .Never saw so many racers move that fast .Anyway S/S got their first round in and SuperStreet was running their rd2 when the rain came.

The last time I was down there (Memorial Day weekend, last year)…there was a 20-30 minute shower, and they called it for the day. The story then was that they didn’t have a track dryer. The rain check is still in the console of my truck.
