Hey everyone, I'm back home and editing all the photos I did not have time to do at the track. These are Super Stock qualifying close ups. I have Stocker's in the lanes photos coming up in a bit, I just didn't have time to get all the Stocker's on the track.

Although I did not do well at the Gator's, I did have a good time. Weather for most of the time was warm, but it was a nice break from the northeast cold. Like I said in another post, the place was packed. The response from the fans on the Showdown cars was very good. When the announcers ask which brand they liked I could here the cheers all the way from my pit. I would say the 50th was a success, and running the sportsman on Saturday was a good move by NHRA, even though the rain held off on Sunday to get the show done.

The unfortunate wreck of Gary Wolkwitz COPO caused some controversy, and I hope all parties involved work it out. Safety with these cars are a big concern, 1400 plus hp and 3500 pounds could make for an ugly outcome.
