Ok sorry been so busy. We won class and that was the first time ever. My daughter in law and granddaughters got to see their daddy win a wally. We raced Aaron Stanfield rd 1 and lost. He got us at the divisional too. He is tough. They ran all the sportsman today because tomorrow looks to be a washout. I have pictures I will post later. Conditions are still good here. I know my engine builder went more than -1.20 under in his new Copo. Not sure who else did. Conditions this morning were ripe for it. More later....

Looks like the weather is ok for now. It’s very cloudy this morning. As Ed said, yesterday was very busy. Three qualifiers in stock and super stock (including class) and only 4 sportsman classes didn’t leave much down time. Scheduled start at 9am this morning. Tune in on all access or live timing. It should be another marathon with 3 rounds to run in each class in 3 hours or so.
