Several faces new to IHRA, between this weekend and last. Thanks for coming out! Ortiz has ribs on the grill, and I may have time for the cooks today. .016 and 2 above first round... No good. Carnero's .005 and 1 above. People love the little car... Unfortunately!

Bracket race tonight, and the track's BBQ shindig that Ralph Hester always puts on for us.

How many cars does the track have to get to break even?

Schooled By Scotty students sweep S/SS... David Hunt knocks the tree over on his mentor, beating Scotty on the strength of a .003 light, backing up his 2009 Super Stock win here at Immokalee. Mark Nowicki opens the season 2-0 in Super Stock, Bertozzi goes red.

Into the Gamblers now. Sun's down and so is the wind, for the most part.

David Hunt (D/SA Mustang) doubles up, winning the No-Box Gamblers, too!

Pearson's issue yesterday turned out to be a PITA, but not catastrophic by any means. Leaking block drain and freeze plug, but he's all fixed up now. A little class-jockeying going on in SS, given the short field.

Q1 - 69.1 deg (overcast), 84%, 29.97 and falling, 1230'DA. Wind is much lighter, but has turned cross-head.

In the racer who bypassed the scales defense I can totally understand how it's possible there. The ET shack is at the stripe and the scales are at the turn off so unless their is an official at the end directing the cars it's very possible in the heat of the moment to drive right bye. I feel terrible when something like that happens for someone. I don't know the circumstances just guessing?

Daran, I was the official down there. Jeff just got mixed up a little. Everyone was hiped up, He understood what happened and all was cool.
