That's those temporary concrete barriers that road crews use.

Car count was looking lean yesterday, but a bunch came in overnight, including severl that were not at Palm Beach. Foggy again this morning, so we're starting a little later to allow for visibility. (Start when the tower can see the tech trailer on top end). . Speaking of... Hot Rod just got the call!

I thought those were called "Jersey Barriers"?

Good luck Michael. Thanks for the reports

22 cars first shot, 23 this time I believe. Ortiz missed the first run as he was busy preparing ribs and selling labrador puppies. (You can't make this stuff up!). Mike Pearson's had his super stocker jacked up in the front, working on something.

Q2 - 85.0deg, 47%, 29.87, 2303' DA

Oh Boy......7 super stockers in first rd. of qualifying. Now THATS a S/S race.....LOL. Stock isnt much better but I see some did travel a long ways unless they are snow birds and have been here all winter.

What a shame!....it's like a cancer....the only thing different is that you can make this like new again with just a little effort. Myself to blame as well, but I'm working to get there. I'm not walking around a car that's ready to go....I can tell you that. It's going to be interesting next week to see how many cars show up for Bradenton that live in Florida. I'm just glad I don't have all my eggs in the Stock and Super/Stock basket with my current project. Hats of to the racers, IHRA management and officials that forge ahead and keep it alive....what a shame!
