Well gang here's the thing - I just found out that SuperStock isn't going to run until late this afternoon and along with the fact I can't earn any more points here this weekend I've decided to go somewhere else where I can earn some -- another race - nahhh - but if I hit the road now I can pick up the Mrs. in Bethlehem and be in Atlantic City by dinner time - and that my friends will earn some points -- trust me its a long season and one needs all the points that can be earned .

I just spoke with Kenny and you should have seen his face when I told 'em he was back to work this weekend filling in for me ..........be kind to him please as writing and taking pictures are not his thing ......but he loves racing and both fans and racers so you'll be in good hands .........till the next time ..........and there will be a next time ! ! !

Good move Jack, home points are just as valuable if not more than grade points.
Have a safe trip back home.

Hey Jack or Kenny,

Did anyone have the weather for the TT this morning, also how much did it change for first round ( DA ) ?? Thanks & drive safe...
Happy July 4 th to everyone ..........

Thanks for the intro Jack.

Dave, here are the numbers for this mornings qualifying for Stock.
Temp 76
Humd 49
Bar 29.50
DA 2243

For the first round of Stock it was.....
Temp 82
Humd 33
Bar 29.48
DA 2594

I few picked up this morning, I should have picked up 2, but lost a few on the sixty.

Don't have much info on first round of stock, I know Tim Fletcher won first round in Stock, this is his debut in Stock. Talk about the luck I am having, it was a dead heat for me. Conway and me took the stripe with no margin, .0000. WOW ! When I rolled out of the throttle, I though I had him by wheel. I guess I'm getting to old to know where I'm at.

Super Stock was a little ugly, they just finished. Some guys blew the tires away. I know Thomas Fletcher spun fifteen hundreds along with a few others.

The sun has been out all day and looks like the track was getting beat
up pretty good. Tomorrow morning will be okay, but the afternoon will be tough.

A quick note on Ralph Porpora's qualifying run today. As you see from the picture, traction is not an issue. I talk to Ralph at the end of the track and he said the only damage to the car when it came down was the head lights fell out.

Thanks for the great reports Jack and Ken....some great superstock cars/drivers in the game after round 1. I know it probably won't happen, but would sure love to see a matchup between either of the SS/AH '68 Hemi'cudas ( Al Smyth & Larry Perkins) and John Armstrong's SS/AA '69 427 Corvette--all 3 are strong 8 second monsters.........(Ken, if you get a chance to snap a pic of these 3 cars, it'd be greatly appreciated)....what a treat to have them and all the other great ones that showed here in this tough field.....good luck to everyone still standing in SS and Stock.....tomorrow's supposed to be nasty hot... ;) WJ
