Hello Everyone!

It was a warm one here today. Almost as hot and humid as Atco a couple weeks ago. Weather for the 2nd stock qualifier was:

85 Degrees
29.50 Barometer (terrible for Cecil)
Very light cross/headwind
DA 3105'

Most I talked to were .05 to .07 quicker than Atco, mostly due to the downhill nature of Cecil.

New track surface is much better than it was previously. It is a little bumpy, but that should be corrected when the perform track grinding in the future. Right lane seems bumpiest in the middle of the track and left lane is bumpy around 1000'. Traction was fine and bumps weren't bad enough to cause any issues (at least in a low 10 second Stocker).

Looks like everyone was going to get a 3rd hit today. I personally skipped it due to some work obligations. The sheet for Stock is up on DRC and it looks like some picked up in the 3rd session.

It was very cool to see the ATI COPO Camaro today in Super Stock. Made a pretty stout first pass.

No pictures from me today, but I'll see what I can do tomorrow...

Finally, a special shout out to Joe Fasano and Steve Calabro for allowing me to use their '69 Camaro Stocker again. Very much appreciated!
