Well that's great, really hate it when the tracks broken, that and looks like Sundays weather could be an issue. Good luck to all in attendance.

Schedule update for Saturday; all classes get 1 time/qualiting run and then all classes go to round 1. And start time is moved up to 9:00 am.

It's about 7:30 and we are just about ready to go to the second Qualifying run.

Re: "Live" from Division 3 RT. 66 LODRS
 

I left the track about 9:15 and S/S was just being called to the lanes. The second round of Stock should be quicker for most since the temp dropped from the mid 70s to 60 degrees. Here are the top of the QSheets after the first run.

100% chance of severe weather Sunday...
Let's give everyone a third time run Saturday morning that no one needs and draw it out even more...does anyone understand this decision because it makes no sense to me

Re: "Live" from Division 3 RT. 66 LODRS
 

Good morning. Another beautiful day here in Chicagoland. The barometer is up from yesterday and the blustery winds from yesterday have moderated. Should be a little quicker for Q3 this morning

An ambitious schedule for today with the possibility of finishing it all before the rain hits tomorrow. The forecast this morning shows the heaviest rain south of the track - but it still looks like a Washout day here.

Perhaps as a nicety for those in the NHRA world who still have day jobs and cant take off every other Wednesday-Sunday.. Give the working people a chance to drive all night Friday and show up for one hit Saturday morning and at least stay involved at the divisional level?

Re: "Live" from Division 3 RT. 66 LODRS
 

Stock Q3 is done. At this pace we should be going to eliminations sometime after noon.

A couple of photos.

Lynn Smiths 73 Buick Regal 455. I think this has to be the only 73 Regal running in Stock today. My parents had the exact same color but with the 350

Al Wicks Cuda - some of you older readers will remember his Father Jim Wick who ran Chrysler S/S cars and Pro Stockers in the 60s and 70s. Jim was always in an ignition ad in Car Craft and Super Stock.
