Super Stock action Q1, I will have more tomorrow.

Interesting tidbit from Charlotte: The quickest ET out of SS & Stock combined was a Stocker! Chris Vang's FS/AA Camaro ran an 8.345, quicker than both of the SS/AM's of Robbie Draughon (8.417) & Chuck Gallagher (8.437). Ken Miele's FS/AA was 4th at 8.453.

Also of note was the 5.821 of Doug Winters' AA/PM in Comp. My gut feeling is that may be the quickest Sportsman run in history.

Good morning all, I'm in the lanes for rd2. They rushed us up here with a slight mist in the air, and now we sit paired up waiting. It looks like it could rain any minute.

I had just put my car back in the trailer, NHRA guy came around beeping his horn for stock, I said it’s raining! His response was if you want to race get up there they are calling cars to the lanes……so I drove up with my wipers on I had no choice…..assholes

They called us back to the lanes.... its misting out and I think there are 2 pair in the lanes... I'm waiting this time.

I'm at the 1000' and it has finally stopped misting so it shouldn't be too much longer they've been dragging and now they're putting some glue down.

Hey guys, I'm heading home. I have some more photos to post when I get home. They should be uploaded later as it is only a 3 hour ride. I hope you guys enjoyed this one, I know I did, even with a 2nd round loss... its still good times.

Thank you Ken for all you do. The pictures and updates are great. I, especially like the videos because I get to see some highways that I may never get to drive on. The driving through the pits are cool because we all get to see the pits up close.

p.s. I love the highway muppets, they are everywhere. Wish I could drive without seeing them - - good luck on that.
