And I guess the other question, of the 1st leaving redlight, how many had less than a .500 handicap?

ahh....ummm....this sounds too much like one of those math problems that starts with "two trains leave the station......."

How about this bit of trivia: In round 2 there was a run where if Tru-Start were in place the first red light - or slower car - would have won.

Not what you asked - but maybe it will buy me some time.

Did Julie Biermann just win Stock at this race, with her Pontiac powered E/SA '68 Firebird ?

I can't find anything about it. And the D3 TV pic is fuzzy on my screen. But, I think the run starts at about the 9:03 mark. And it appears that her win light came on.

Would someone who knows, please confirm, if this info is correct ? Thanks !

This is a great win for Julie & old fashion Pontiac power ! :cool: Congrats the Julie and everyone connected with the car ! :)

Congrats to Julie and Tim, in only her second season behind the wheel of a race car.

Looks like we'll have to call her :

"The Super Woman of Stock"

I cant believe the empty seats,wtf,,

They don't utilize the left hand side of the track, so you won't see people in the stands viewable from D3TV.

Here is something I've not seen before - downtime to fix a window in the tower that was at risk of falling out.

We actually had it at one of our events at Virginia Motorsports Park the other year... a door car kicked up a rock in the burnout box and broke a 3rd story window in the tower. Took quite awhile to break out the remainder of the window and clean up all the glass that landed right there at the tunnel/ready line. The first two stories of windows were safety glass, but not some of the 3rd story.

Kind of serves as a reminder for anyone parked out where there's any gravel or debris: Please clean out your wheels wells and rocker panels in the staging lanes! It always amazes me the funny looks I get from people. I clean the car out every time, unless it's Norwalk, Bristol, etc. Any debris in there could end up under your tires when you launch. Sometimes people think a track is bad when they're actually doing it to themselves!
