Well I can see Jack is no where to be found. I think its time for another pay cut. Here are some shots of first round for Super Strock in the lanes. First round is all run and these shots are cars that are paired up already.
Steve Comella in his 68 Dart lost his brakes first rd in the Hemi Shoot Out and hit the catch fence, the car is hurt but Steve is fine. The final for the Hemi Shoot was Joe Teuton vs Tyler Hard. Hard's car started to miss about the 800 ft mark and Joe took the win. Joe went a 8.479 at 157.23 to Tyler's slowing 9.531 at 104.15. |

Well God forbid I get yet another pay cut this year - in case you didn't know Kenny is tough to work for .....before this weekend I was working for peanuts -- now I'm fighting for acorns ....what next ?? Guess I'll have to write a few stories / tell a few tales and then post some pictures . Geez , the guy posts pictures one time this year early and I'm in the doghouse . He's really having a tough time handling his new found stardom so we'll have to cut him some slack ..............he's probably out with the "Wine n Cheese " crowd tonight signing some of his "Hero " cards .
Anyway we got in some first rounds today and Stock went out on the track first and early .Best thing I could say is that the place was wicked fast - no one trusted their dial .Low temps - low humidity - and the barometer increased almost .40 overnight .Most racers say their year best evers yesterday - but today it was twilight zone stuff - the place wasn't a mineshaft - it was way past that for many . Not to say the great air didn't take it toll - countless rear ends - a few transmissions - and engines ----- quite a few in fact but the worst being Al Marks ultra clean '69 Camaro A/SA -- after going thru the traps and winning his round with a dead-on his dial 10.25 -- then he lifted and ca-boom .The rest of the story isn't pretty but Al now has all Winter to fix it . SuperStock got their first round in also - but it took all day to get there as they finally got on the track after 5 pm - same story but not as fast for them - broken pieces and plenty of broken dreams .......and all Winter to "what if " .......... I got more and I'll get to it .....but this should get him off my back ......for a little while anyway . Later ...........

I guess since the boss is still working I must also -- so here goes -- time to hand out hard luck awards -- the first goes out to Billy Hawk who while in his early Shelby CobraJet B/SA was ready to stage for round one when the starting line official shut him off and signaled for his backing up and giving the other lane a single .The cause - the underhood fuel check valve had a piece of plastic stuck in it and was leaking on the ground - by getting shut off it saved him from a possible big fire .BTW , the fix took no parts and about two minutes of Roger Cooks' time.
