All of that is having me wonder what "Shark Bait" might run there? Just curious, what direction does the track face....I wonder because I'm curious as to whether y'all are running into a head or tail wind?

It was a cross wind this morning and went to and head wind by the early afternoon, about 5mph. Also the weather that Powell posts does not come directly from the track. It was 1900 ft at 8am not 1300 and it was 64 not 59 degrees. Not sure where he gets his weather from, but it is not always accurate. The weather I post comes from my weather station at the track.

Thanks Ken for that and the trip through the pits, plus all of the pictures and action you are showcasing here.... yes I do wish I was there, but I think I need to find 0.3+ seconds of extra performance out of "Shark Bait", before I embark on that nearly 2,000 mile haul from Phoenix, so I can at least qualify for 1st rnd. It's a bucket list item for me, that's for sure!

Larry Hill, I'm sorry too for your newer cars misfortune, but thankful no one got hurt, and you had your tried and true car for The Big Go.

Thanks to YouTube, I am watching qualifying action from there....y'all have fun, and hopefully all stays safe out there, with some great racing also!
