Toby, thank you for taking the time for showing us what we're missing. Good thing that you were prepared with spare parts for your trailer and Ramp truck. Good luck and thank you very much for taking the time taking pictures. Claude

What I was told about the "grass" was they sprayed down chicken fat then laid straw over it to keep the dust from blowing. This was quite a few years ago. It's held up fairly well. There are small clumps of live grass here and there though.

The big grandstand is fairly new. I think it was finished in 2002. They repaved the drag strip in 2001. Jim Meador and I were the last stockers to make a pass on the old track when we ran each other in the final that year.

Here's some shots from Super Stock first round of qualifying. I was going to take shots of them leaving the stating line, but they wouldn't let me go past the fence by the burn out box without photographers credentials. Weak. I should have told them I know Jack Maytag, I'm sure they would have let me by then. Kenny needs to get me some credentials. :) I was taking pictures of second round of Stock class from behind the fence and they asked me if I was with one of these cars because they were "trying to keep the area clear." Of course I told them yes.

A shot of the staging lanes. Jody's in the front of the line. I had to get a picture of that:
