The weather forecast for this weekend looks pretty dismal.

Monday looks good with 0 percent chance of rain and sunny......

I'm Glad to do it David. Here are some more photos of the day. The first photo is Roger and Eddie Cook working on the their 429 Cobra Jet. The next is Eddie Brooks topping off the fresh water tank in the Motorhome. Its what most crews seem to be doing today. The next photo is of Austin Ford's Sam Tech sponsored 16 Cobra Jet. I also caught two of Jeff Teuton's cars out, Jeff was hidden behind the golf cart relaxing in his chair.

Great coverage Ken! My friend and I will be there Thursday to watch qualifying. Will try to find you in the pits and say hey. Is Johns latest CJ a NOHC stick car?

Sonny's just up the road a little, the young folks can check out the Gator college girls. I so wish I was there competing along with you, maybe next year. Make sure you let NHRA know how much you like the double header deal!

It's really great to see young people getting into the sport. And as long as there is a steady influx of mom & dads willing to spend 150-200 thousand to keep them interested, i think were gonna be alright. 😉

Good morning all, Al, I am not sure what combo he is running, I will see if I can get that info for you later. Today is tech and it is going very smoothly, with very little waiting time, both in tech and credentials. Most rigs are already parked from the division race and now getting ready with their normally routine for tomorrows racing. The weather looks a little iffy tomorrow, but I think we will be okay.

Just some random photos of tech and the cars starting to come out of the trailers.

A few more.

The rain coming tomorrow shouldn't be very much or very long. Piesano's for pizza Thursday night!
