Here are some picks in the staging lanes just before the first qualifying shot for stock. Also, one pick from Sal Biondo, he will be driving Bill Hawks car this weekend. I will try to give everyone a feel for how the race is going, but I'm a little busy working on the race car, I will do the best I can.

The weather is great, mostly sunny and 75. There is a slight head cross wind, maybe 4-5 mph. The altitude when we ran was 1200 ft.

I hope to have some more picks and info later today.

Steve, it looks that way but I do not have any details.

Wish I could give everyone some pit rumors or any other interesting things going on down here. I have been working on my car, I have not talk to many racers. I did have time to take more pictures. The racers that I have talk to are just happy to be here away from the cold and the snow that hit the northeast.

The weather is great, the track is super. As you can see from the qualifying, its pretty good here.

Second round for stock and super stock was about 1 to 2 hundreds slower for most us. It was about 1400 ft when I ran, with a temp of 78.

Its 8 am, another great day down here in Orlando. The weather will be a little better for us this morning. Right now is 56 and the corrected altitude 10 ft above sea level. We run after super street, racing starts at 9 today.

I will try find out what records were set, be back later folks.

Re: Live From Orlando
 
I think it looks good without all of those decals all over the paint !

Bruce Noland 03-07-2009 12:12 PM

Re: Live From Orlando
 
The car does look great. Eddie pulled all the decals off the car a year or so ago and probably won't put any back on.

Well stock and Super Stock made both runs today. I did not see anyone pickup. In the morning the weather was good, but by the time stock went down the track, it was about 4 slower then yesterday morning.

No records were set as far as I know, I could be wrong. I have not been able to cruise around much this weekend, trying to get my car sorted out.

Sal Biondo snapped some more shots around the pits. If anyone is looking for a particular car or info, let me know, I will try to post it for you.

Thanks Mike, hope to be at Norwalk.

Thanks Larry, I having a great time.

Brian, the air is good but not as good as Atco with similar numbers. It has averaged around 1200 to 1400 ft, but there is a 4-6 mph head. Its just not as fast as the weather says. Don't get me wrong its good air here, but not killer air.

Art, Denny set the record in GT/HA at 10.05, and Garry set the SS/N at 11.68. I was just talking to Denny as he was putting everything back together.

That's it from Orlando, lost second rd and headed north to Gainesville. Wish I could have given everyone some more info but had to work on my race car most of the time.

Jim, I'm sorry we did not get to meet. Maybe we can try to meet at Gainesville if your headed this way.

I will try to give everyone some updated reports and pictures once they park us on Tuesday. I'm inline now, there is about 40 of us here.

Joe Martens 03-08-2009 06:45 PM

Re: Live From Orlando
 
Thanks Ken, looking forward to your reports from Gainesville.

Re: Live From Orlando
 
It was good to finally meet you Ken! Thanks for the shoe polish, but it wasn't the trick shoe polish, I still went out 1st rd.! Jim
