We are done for the day, they held all the sportsman until the pros were done. I have photos to edit, be back later.

Thanks Ken. Enjoy doing it, just sorry the rain and wind ruined the day for me. Couldn't stay to watch after the pros at 8:00. Getting ready to order the hat since I couldn't find you yesterday.

Good morning all, racing does not start until noon. One round of the pros followed by round four of the sportsman. The day will go quick as it always does with 4 wide racing. I will be staying today to get all the finals photos, but may not post them until I get home on Monday.

I have a few batches from yesterdays action.....

Factory Stock Showdown action.

This mornings quiz..... Look at the last photo of Bo Butner's car and tell me what you think is different than most, if not all FSS and Stockers. I will send a free Class Racer hat to the first post that gets it right.

Thanks for the great photos Ken!! Love the "behind the scenes" photos of the FS/XX cars!

Just a few observations based on the Four-Wide...

From watching some of the Pros run I’m convinced that four wide is a cluster, don’t see a future for it personally. Was slightly entertaining to see Force deep stage and screw some guys up....at least we were spared a Force winning interview.

Anyone notice that the FS1 broadcast showed more of the Mountain Motor PS than they have PS Camaro lately? Surely PS is on it’s death bed.

Mountain Motor Wally looked like a leftover Class trophy...Bill Skillman snared a regular Winners Wally.

Guessing they will leave FSS rules alone for now but GM can’t be happy...picking Bruno to be the next winner in COPO, just not anytime soon.


Got a personal record for zipping through the broadcast recording (13 minutes), can’t wait for Warren’s next show.

Ken and Butch’s photos are awesome!

Jason Line is one bad hombre.

The 2 video's below are not about racing, but I thought some might think they are worth posting. I forgot I shot these on my phone. Not only did the wind delay us, we had some strong hail come down.

The other video is Paul Iaconis, Gary Richard's crew chief parallel parking one of the PC Richard's rigs. I have trouble parking my street car, Paul makes it look easy in two moves.

More FSS “parity” adjustments....frankly I’m surprised.
