Good morning. This first post on Saturday morning will be from the hotel where there's a solid Internet connection. It rained overnight and a heavy cloud cover remains even though the rain as appeared to stop in the area. The weather Channel hourly forecast shows we should be rain free for the rest of the day but with temps in the 50s and cloud cover. Based on the qualifying schedule posted to drag race central the race is behind schedule with top alcohol funny car and the top sports men and dragster classes yet to make their first qualifying attempt. The original schedule calls for qualifying to continue at 9 AM and I'm sure there will be schedule adjustments today. Based on what I know now stock and super stock will get one more qualifying run and then go to R1.

Stay tuned and be sure to tune in to D3 TV which will be streaming live from the track.
