Re: "Live From" Gainesville's Double Header
Jimmy Alund has been entering all year as a '70, but those aren't '70 taillights. I pay plenty of attention to what happens in Stock, but I can't claim to be sharp on all the finer points of the Stock rulebook.

Re: "Live From" Gainesville's Double Header
Super Stock Q1 in the books.
Ray Skillman on top (-1.115) 8.785 in his Cobra Jet followed by Stephen Bell, Kevin Helms, and John Stock's unique '67 Cobra. Top 5 cars are a second under 63 cars officially. Brian Oakes and Stephen Herbert listed as DQ. (possibly weight or fuel?) Also 7 SS/AH Hemi cars listed. Class should be interesting. |

Re: "Live From" Gainesville's Double Header
Well that escalated quickly. If you want to be part of the 8-car Factory Stock Showdown field, you need to run 8.5s. After two runs here's the field
Kevin Skinner (Ford) 8.449 Chris Holbrook (Ford) 8.451 Aaron Stanfield (?) 8.475 David Barton (Chevy) 8.477 Ryan Herem (Chevy) 8.481 Clay Arnett (Chevy) 8.530) Jonathan Allegrucci (Dodge) 8.568 Don Fezell (Ford) 8.575) First alternate is Chuck Watson at 8.650 Top spot in Stock qualifying changed when Bo Butner ran (-1.313) 8.837 in his FS/X Cobra Jet. Top nine cars are Showdown cars, No. 10 is Gary Summers U/SA Mustang. Class Elims coming up in a bit. Showdown cars will run traditional FS/XX and FS/X eliminations and we'll crown a winner in each. Then the quick 8 Showdown cars will return on Saturday with the final round set for Sunday afternoon. |

Re: "Live From" Gainesville's Double Header
"The sky is crying, can you see the tears roll down the street?" -- Stevie Ray Vaughn
I can confirm what Mike just posted. A bit of thunder and lightning and what could best be described as a downpour over Gainesville right now. Hopefully it will stop and we can get it dried in time for class eliminations later today. On St. Paddy's Day, a true Irishman would probably have cracked open a cask of whiskey by now but we've got a race to run. more later... |

Re: "Live From" Gainesville's Double Header
Minimum weight for Gary's combo is 3170. The photos speak for themselves. The heavy stuff is just north of us and it has let up just a bit.
Since I have time I will go back to editing, I have lots of photos, stay tuned I will post asap. |

Re: "Live From" Gainesville's Double Header
Playing around with my new camera, and trying to give a different look. The photos from the last national shot by Chris Ashley were amazing, so I am trying to get as close as I can to her skill level, I have a long way to go.
