I see Tom has filled everyone in. The wind is starting to pick up, gusts are around 25 mph.

The time shot for stock was uneventful, everyone got down the track with no issues. I ran about the same as Maple Grove as did most that were at the Grove. I felt my car move around a bit, but nothing scary.

The wind is much stronger now and I think going to 1/8 was the right move. No word on if Stock or Super Stock will run the 2nd round in the 1/8. The weather for tomorrow is supposed to be great. As soon as I here something I will post.

The first picture is our very own Tom Sheenan hard at work. I would assume he is going through photos that will posted on Class Racer.

super gas is running again (1/8th mile).
Comp, alcohol cars will all get 1/8 mile tt.

Then they will let us know the rest of the schedule.

At least we're running again.
Why wasn't this considered 2 weeks ago???

Maybe because Bob didn't have his future weather prediction beanie on two weeks ago.
What next to jump on? Jeez.

I'm pretty sure Byron meant why didn't they try the eight mile thing at that time - 2 weeks ago.

They just called Stock to the lanes for round two -- all classes will be contested quarter mile - the winds have died down and they should be good to go ..................

NHRA Div 1 should seriously consider changing their schedule to race more in the summer and limit the race schedule beyond the month of September. The Dutch Classic has always been in October and is the best race of the year to many racers.....if the weather is good, but It often is not......

I have not run many events this year but if I did I would much rather race in the heat than in the cold, wind and rain........Track conditions are not usually anywhere near as iffy when it's hot and the sun is out.....slow yes and maybe traction is not the best but we all get down the track.....usually.....

I think it is really no way the fault of Bob Lang and his crew....but they need to change the schedule and NOT race in March/earlyApril or mid to late October......

Angelo,suggesting 1/8 mile to some of the prima dona's in NHRA S/SS is like asking them to run into a snow storm in their speedos.It's too IHRA for them.They'd rather take a chance on running into the wind and tempt disaster than to run the 1/8 mile.

My boy Lincoln Morehead is in a battle for the world championship, thanks to Bob Lang for giving him a fair shake and waiting for the winds to die down. Were pulling for you Lincoln !!!!!!

Come on Doc.You know what would happen running in the middle of summer.
Ah it's too damn hot
The track sucks
The NHRA/track crew don't know ***** about prepping a track
Ah crap another summer downpour
Feel free to add anything I've missed.
