Default LIVE from Cordova, IL - IHRA Summer Nationals Nitro Jam

Thanks to a 2-day format with qualifying starting at 2:30pm today, I was able to leave the house early this morning and arrive in plenty of time to get settled and get teched in. The weather entertainment people missed (shocking!), and the forecast has taken a significant turn for the better. The sun has peeked through, there's a brisk crosswind cooling things down from the 81.5 deg air temp (29.23 baro, 63%, 2937' DA), and Hot Rod has been called to the lanes right on time for Q1.



A car just went by covered in RealTree camo. I'm lucky I saw it!



It's my first trip to Cordova. Beautiful parklike facility, with some freshly paved pit roads, new grandstands, and a playground. Great to hear my old friend Taz on the PA.



Got a nice spot on the corner not far from the stands, right beside the fuel station. 2 qualifying sessions scheduled for today, 1 more in the morning, and then final eliminations tomorrow as well.


Check out www.ihra.com for the live video feed.

Alex, IHRA stuff isn't posted on DRC at any point. Check dragstory.com under results for end of the day results. Also, you can watch live via the link on ihra.com.

Got our 2 laps in today, just before a very light and brief sprinkle. The cross-tail continued fairly strong. Air improved a couple hundred feet. Made a little adjustment and picked up a couple in Q2.











(Thanks to Elaine for the pic!)

Raining right now. Big cell mostly south of us, but it's running northeast, and we're right in line with the upper edge. Original schedule has a Q3 listed for today. Two more Stockers have come in, and I'd heard last night that Folk was coming in Super Stock.

The wind shifted along with some cooler air and another bout of rain, whichhas finally died to a bare sprinkle. Q3 has been cancelled. Any new entries today can opt to either get a refund, or be put on the bottom of the sheet and dial it off the trailer.

In good news, the bread pork tenderloin sandwich and waffle fries are great! ;-)

Got a chance to meet Rich from Allstar Performance this morning, who happened to be taking shelter from the rain under my canopy when I came in. Nice gentleman. They're a manufacturer tied in with Motorstate and Lane Automotive. He said they recently signed a deal to post contingency.

Also new is Clevite posting a bonus to winners, and Aeromotive posting a special bonus in Pro Stock and Super Stock this weekend.

Projected start time, 3pm Central, starting with the Pros. Watch live on www.ihra.com.

It's gotten downright cold with the blustery wind coming from the opposite direction from yesterday. Round 1 should be... Interesting!
