More than likely was for fuel, most of the time a race with multiple DQ's for the first session are for fuel, and/or weight.

Stock Q-2 is on the line now.

Due to the presence of our arch nemesis --- unforeseen circumstances.....

Drooze, Mandie and I will make Vegas, but too late to run qualifing runs..

After getting a late start due to a few minor mechanical issues, then driving day and night for nearly two days, waiting hours through traffic jams, and just about any other delaying event you can think of, as of 11:00 AM Vegas Time Drooze, Mandie and the car are still about 7 hours away....

I picked up our credentials this morning, but .....short of trying to run a rental car .... and that isn't going to happen... we won't compete this week.

We plan to drop the car/trailer tonight at the track, and will be at the track early on Saturday to try to meet everyone at least let the car's tires roll on a little Vegas asphalt, even if it just in the pits...

So then we will turn around and head back East to try to get to Indy..

David, are you guys for real? I know I've seen the pictures but no one has as much problems as you guys.

[Bill Edgeworth]

Congratulations to Mark on #1
See! Those TURBOCHARGED Mustangs are going to ruin the sport LOL.
Wish I was there!

Are you serious -- you truly attempted to run from the east coast to Las Vegas just for one event and turnaround and head back to Indy for the Divisional?!?!?!?!? Damn......................
