It was warm today, upper 80's with sunshine all day. It was also very humid. The track was in good shape for most everyone even with the sun beating down on the track all day. Here are some shots of Super Stock in action today. I will have Stock later or tomorrow, it was tough getting back in the lanes to shoot Stock.

One note on Don Belles's 08 Super Stock Cobra Jet. Its the first photo. Its a 5.4 with a 4 liter blower, a Super Stock only combo. He went a 8.15 today and 171 mph. I am told this car can easily got into the 7's, It might happen tomorrow.

Good morning all, weather as of now is wet. We had rain early this morning, but it has stop. Weather forecast is for it to clear out today, with temps in the upper 70's. It should be a lot more pleasant to race than yesterday's upper 80's with high humidity.

Start time was scheduled for 9:30, but as it is still cloudy out it will take time to get the track dry. I'm guessing about noon for a start time. I few shots from Stock's action yesterday.

The weather finally broke and its getting quicker as the day goes on. Stock ran its final qualifier around 10, with some cars picking up as much 6 hundreds. Super Stock is still waiting on the last qualifier. They should be running soon. Stock will have first round later today, not sure if the rest of the classes will get their first round today. It all depends on the how the day goes, we did get a late start.

Thanks slingshot.

Stock and Super Stock got their first round this afternoon. The weather changed rapidly today, getting quicker as the day went on. Breakouts were the order of the day for first round. Stock is supposed be out first for round 2 tomorrow and the weather forecast calls for another great day, with temps in the upper 70's and no chance of rain.

Here are some action shots from Super Stock qualifying, along with a self serving Class Racer t-shirt.

Good morning all, what a great day for racing. With the current temperature at 65 going up to the 70's and low humidity, you couldn't ask for a nicer day. Alcohol ran their finals yesterday so things should move pretty fast today. Junior Dragsters are out first, then Stock for round 2, we should start at 9.

Some more photos from yesterday...
