Like they say -'what a difference a day makes 'and it sure applies to this race -yesterday was cold ,damp and just plain ugly .Today was sunshine and blue skies with temps in the high seventies - just the thing we come to Florida for .

This morning the track really had teeth and the first Stock and S/S qualifiers had some good numbers even with the DA around 1700 .Second pass the traction was not nearly as good for most and the DA went to the mid-twenties this afternoon .

All that was good but the rains earlier this week made for some very soggy pits and a bunch of unhappy racers - it should dry out tomorrow - but rain is expected Saturday .That could change ....we'll see .

For those of you watching NHRA TV we are having class runoffs starting at 8:30 in the morning .
