59 stockers and17 FS/XX cars made the first run. Awfully humid and sticky already, but not much chance of rain today. Some cars were in the wrong class first run so it may be a while before DRC gets the times up. They announced Patrick Downing at #1 at -1.09 but I don't know if that is correct.

More later.

They no longer give you the chrome sticker for restricted area access if you are a driver. They said you are in the car so you don't need it.

The question I had was, what happens when you are outside your car in the lanes, which are restricted. They did not have an answer. If you are a crew member you can get the access sticker. If you are a driver, you will have to get on another drivers credentials to get the pass. If you don't have a friend that has a crew pass left you are out of luck.

I am not sure why or what was the reason for this. Many drivers crew for other racers in other classes. All drivers sign the waiver for the restricted areas. I'm sure this is a mistake.

Ken,
This has to be one of the most idiotic things ever for them to change. I'm still surprised with todays technology we have to spend so much time standing in line at the credentials trailer. They have my membership number and a signed waiver attached to a car/driver number already so unless the waiver changes there is no need to sign a new one at each event. In fact just send me a plastic card to be scanned and the events where we paid it allows us in. It is gonna be hilarious when Force isn't allowed on the starting line as it will make for one of his all time best interviews! (You don't happen to know a software guy who could solve this for us do ya?;-)

This might sound like a dumb question, but if the stock quota was 65 - how did they get to 76? not that many past world champions - do the FS/XX not have to enter in stock? Just curious

The FS/XX cars are not counted in the quota!!

Evidently they are still trying to get all the stockers in the right class before they put the list up. Super stock is on DRC.

David Barton reclaimed # 1 at 8.23.
Downing was not #1. They had him in wrong class. We were just down for a few minutes in super comp for sprinkles but are now racing again.

Still not a Q3 sheet up or ladder yet. DRAW said there is an issue with the scanner. I believe there were 2 more cars that made the final run, so there will be some changes. A few cars spun the last run.

Here are a few more pics from yesterday:

Speaking for Patsy, it definitely is an Illinois Antique Vehicle plate. Eligible cars have to be at least 25 years old to wear one. So this must be a '92 or earlier Camaro pictured with a lot of updating.

He could have opted for an Illinois Extended Use Antique Plate so he could drive it more often, not just to and from repair shops or car shows, but those plates cost just a tad more.
