Weather isn't looking the best. Will they attempt to run this race on Sunday or Monday if it rains?

Farmington, Take 2. Looks much like the last time we were here: foggy, misty, but not as bad as before, and a TONS better forecast for the afternoon. Projecting a 10am start.

Sun's out, but still verrry humid. Had a little downtime during Hot Rod for some weepers up on top end, as we had some significant storms blow through last night.

At the end of Q1 for Stock, weather was 79.7 F, 61%, 29.08 Baro, 2936' DA. Vapor Pressure .62.... Bleagh!

Terry Taylor continues to demoralize the field, cranking out a 1.36 60', 6.80 @ 98 in J/CM. Someone go scrape Myron off the floor/ceiling, whichever the case may be!

I ran the Turismo at the Spring Fling 20's at Bristol last week, and discovered that the car would not fall out of a tree up on the mountain. Replaced cap and rotor, carb gasket, added a pint of ATF, and ran .15 faster than ET predictions off of Bristol's runs. I was .40 slower than Numidia to 1000' at Bristol! Sheesh.

The overnight rain also leading to some bald spots developing toward the end of Super Stock. Gotta say, the stick-shift combo in Steven Johnsosn's SS/CM sounds absolutely brutal!

33 cars on the sheet for stock in the first session. Not bad considering the other events going on. Just called us up for the second hit.
