Good morning - And welcome to the parking party as i've been here awhile ( in row twenty something ) and it looks like another hour or two till I get in .Good news is it looks like I'll be pitted on the Airport side .

Other news - the chassis business must be really , really good as New England native Mark Markow showed up in a fresh motorcoach today - and this baby has it all - many slides - full body paint and all the extra items I'd ever want....and one I've not previously come across -- its the "sock option " and I'm thinking he should have skipped it - you'll understand after viewing the picture below .

I'll be back after tech or 5 pm - whichever comes first .And did I mention its raining ?

Bazinga .......

Hey Jack I know it's been brought up a few times but has there been any final word on that permit to cook and the 42 dollar fee? Do we have to fill out that permit form?

Good luck everyone. WOW do I miss this race. Enjoy

Good morning - What a day this will be - sunshine , blue skies and a DA at this moment of 1800 feet .I suspect that will drop some as the humidity burns off this morning as its over 70 percent .My weather station is showing more than a tenth better than the Grove last Sunday .I didn't get lakefront property but it sure is pretty - maybe a dip later ! !

We'll start out this AM with SuperStreet at 10:15 followed by Stock .

Back a little later ........

An hour to go and everyone's chomping at the bit .....the Safety Safari is out on the track - scraping , spraying , and making sure we've got a great surface this morning .

How about this '70 Mustang .........Owned br Comp and Stock racer Erich Bollman

I've had the pleasure of seeing Eric Bollman's Mustang up close and in person. Absolutely STUNNING!!! and I'm a GM guy!?

Stock is done with their first qualifying, Super Stock is almost done. I see live timing is not work yet, don't know why.

Weather for stock was as followed, We could not ask for a nicer day. Very comfortable, unlike Maple Grove last week.

temp 81
bar 29.70
humid 36%
DA 2302
Wind cross 10 mph

Here is a in car cam of John Gray's newly purchased 69 Camaro. John purchased the car from Dave Lebrun.
