What a difference a day makes. Yesterday's clouds have parted, leaving a gorgeous blue-skied sunny Sunday for us. It was cold this morning with overnight temps in the 40s, but with little to no wind and the sun out, it didn't feel to bad. Stock was even quicker than Friday, with a DA just into positive territory. Harold Costello suffered a bad meeting with the wall in the shutdown area. EMS took him out, but reported he was alert and responsive.

It's warmed up quickly, turning into a picture-perfect day for racing. The DA was still only about 700' for Super Stock, running .04 quicker than even Friday's excellent conditions.

All weekend long, people have been continuing to talk about the Class Nationals, from big thank yous to 'I'll be there next year!'. The enthusiasm has been overwhelming -- we appreciate it so very much! We got to present John Dinkel with the Honda generator from Bagley Tractor & Equipment, and Altronics presented Jim Clark with a new Performaire PA-2 Weather Station for the Perfect Dial award, as he was the first driver to run Dead-On with a 0!

We're into Alcohol final qualifying and a boatload of other stuff to follow. It will likely be this evening before we see Rnd 2.

5:10 and no more Stock / SS runs. Top Alky / car going again, motorcycles, and who knows what else. A jet truck just went past.....Top Sportsman is up in the lanes for E1. There is 20K people here watching, again today, and they deserve the show - and they are getting it.

Harold also got into the side of Rob Bihl.... Both cars were pretty messed up

Life in the sportsman pits.....Motorcycles running again - they just ran Alky again - Super Gas got the call and Stock so far. No updates on Dragraceresults here either.

They've completed second round of just about everything and will be running Top Dragster as well as the Alcohol finals etc, and then call it an evening. We will pick up with Super Street at 9am. They project we'll be done before noon tomorrow.

It didn't look like there were nearly that many people at Atlanta when I watched about 30 seconds of Top Fuel last night.

Probably hot-lapping the survivors today in order to get the race finished.
