Live from The Rock

Beth Denysenko · 10-22-2009, 11:18 AM

It's 1 pm and they are calling Hot Rod up for first round of qualifying. Pits are filling up, we are pitted right behind the pit-side bleachers and across from the concession stand. Alex is in the Summit All Stars race, so we had "reserved" parking. Very nice spot!

Barometer is outstanding - 12.61, we haven't raced with a barometer reading that good all year! Cross to head wind 10-12 mph. Sunny, mid 70's and gorgeous.

Lots of cars here we have never seen before, I will take pics and post as I can.

you are lucky to be pitted where you are at. otherwise you'd be taking home lots of souvenirs from the outer grass parking lot.

Beth, what the heck kind of barometer do you have? Never heard of a negative barometer LOL!!!! Good luck to you all down there, tell Alex and Tony Hi for us. Joe & Jacque

LOL Joe - I - tend - to - use - hyphens - a - lot. It's how I can "ramble" on the internet.

I took a bunch of pictures during Stock Q1. I am uploading them to webshots right now. They just called Superstock, so I will post the link when we get back.

Beth Denysenko · 10-22-2009, 01:30 PM

Ok, just got back. Track was not the best - we ended up in the last pair because the lanes were messed up a bit, no biggie but no track. 2260 ft. adjusted, +29.52 barometer LOL and 80 degrees with a cross head wind. 10.98 and just under 119 mph. Terrible 60'.

Link to webshots album with stock photos below, I will add what I took during SS in a minute, so keep checking that album, all photos will be there.

Great photos. Appreciate the photos and the reports!

Jim Wahl · 10-22-2009, 02:59 PM

Yes! Thanks so much Beth! Jim

Beth Denysenko · 10-22-2009, 03:06 PM

They called Stock Q2 up. I might take some pics from the stands.

Jim Wahl - wore my Southern S/SS racing shirt on the way down here yesterday. Thought it might help me fit in south of the Mason Dixon line! LOL

Partly cloudy now, breeze is now a wind and it's dropped 5 degrees since last round. More pics coming . . .
