LIVE from Cordova, IL - IHRA Summer Nationals Nitro Jam

Michael Beard · 05-29-2015, 03:46 PM

Thanks to a 2-day format with qualifying starting at 2:30pm today, I was able to leave the house early this morning and arrive in plenty of time to get settled and get teched in. The weather entertainment people missed (shocking!), and the forecast has taken a significant turn for the better. The sun has peeked through, there's a brisk crosswind cooling things down from the 81.5 deg air temp (29.23 baro, 63%, 2937' DA), and Hot Rod has been called to the lanes right on time for Q1.

A car just went by covered in RealTree camo. I'm lucky I saw it!

It's my first trip to Cordova. Beautiful parklike facility, with some freshly paved pit roads, new grandstands, and a playground. Great to hear my old friend Taz on the PA.

Got a nice spot on the corner not far from the stands, right beside the fuel station. 2 qualifying sessions scheduled for today, 1 more in the morning, and then final eliminations tomorrow as well.

Check out www.ihra.com for the live video feed.

Alex, IHRA stuff isn't posted on DRC at any point. Check dragstory.com under results for end of the day results. Also, you can watch live via the link on ihra.com.

Got our 2 laps in today, just before a very light and brief sprinkle. The cross-tail continued fairly strong. Air improved a couple hundred feet. Made a little adjustment and picked up a couple in Q2.

(Thanks to Elaine for the pic!)
