Good morning folks it's race day here at Galot and another gorgeous day. Carolina blue skies and a little nip in the air as it's a little chilly. Yesterday warmed up to the mid 80's and the same is expected today. With the warm sunshine brought out one of North Carolina's newest residents Dan Fletcher's favorite creature ....the gnats were alive and well yesterday afternoon!
Juniors are in the lanes for TT's then it's round 1 of eliminations.

Stock 1st round winners

I apologize for the lack of reporting but I lost 2cd round and got a little side tracked after that. My family is here and we went out for dinner and enjoyed a great steak at a locally owned steakhouse called Heath's.
A couple of feel-good stories Jason McCandless won Stock in Mickey Whaley's old car. I think that is the first time it's been raced to my knowledge since Mickey passed away. And Joel Warren picked up the win in Comp racing for the first time since Ms Karen passed away a few weeks ago. Lots of bittersweet memories being made here today.
I'll be here tomorrow for the National Open race and will post the ladders as they become available.

Another note from Galot that was brought to my attention by Dave Leys, not Stock or SS but another bittersweet victory in Super Comp. Franklin DiBartolomeo won Super Comp Saturday in the LODRS race in our old friends Johnny D's car. Another Wally dedicated to the heavens I'm sure. We miss you Johnny D and congratulations to Franklin!

James,

Out of curiosity, are they allowing 1/8 mile records(?), since we rarely see 1/8 runs.

Thanks.

I didn’t see anyone attempting to set a record at Galot, it will usually be posted ahead of time if record attempts will be supported. FYI that the Doorslammer Open (a D3 National Open) at Ohio Valley this coming weekend is a good spot for setting a 1/8 record, weather looks promising.

Galot has become one of my favorite tracks, they maintain the starting line exceptionally well and the D2 crew is top shelf.

As Jim said I didn't see anyone this race but I have seen record attempts at the other 1/8 mile opens so I guess the short answer is yes.
