Talk about a tough day - this was it ! ! After loosing yesterday to rain this morning looked great but after only a few pairs went down the track it was evident that they would have to scrape the track as the rubber was lifting off as cars just peeled it up under acceleration .
That fact put the race hours behind and the result is that everyone will still get their two time shots and then go into elims with the race more than likely will be finished tomorrow .

Bad news is the bonus race that was to be run Sunday has now been canned .That race that was backed by Sony and Gary Richard of PC Richard Stores as of this moment has not been reassigned a new date - I'll let you know if I find out .

Record runs - no new records were set today and the three that were set Thursday were all certified and count as they passed teardown .Congrats guys ......

We are now in the second set of Q-runs and elims are set to go in about an hour but won't go very long because of the early dewpoint here at Atco .........Sorry I haven't posed more but I've really had my hands full here at this deal and that fact coupled with the poor Internet reception has made it difficult .........later .

BTW - its Sunny and a very nice Spring day here with temps in the high fifties .
