Three Hills in first round and three Hills going to second round.
Keep it up.

We have been down because TD and TS Problems first a bad TD oil down and now a crash. SS was scheduled for first round and they even added 2nd Round Stock tonight. But that looks doubtful to me, but I could be wrong, and often am.

As Paul said, we have gone from being ahead by a couple of hours to behind by a couple of hours. They are still cleaning up a Top Sportsmen crash now. I don't think we will get to Round 2 tonight either.

Hey Beth, we miss you guys out here. Hope Alex is feeling better and we will see you at the Nationals here in a couple of weeks.

They finally cancelled out Stock around 7:30 this evening. There were lots of oil downs and crashes in TD and TS. On one of the spills, we heard they used 28 bags of oil dry to clean up 44 quarts of diesel oil. The clean-up crew did a great job of cleaning up all the major messes all day. They are still running now, but we are ready for bed. We haven't heard the schedule for tomorrow yet, but probably start at 8 with super street, then stock.

More tomorrow

What would hold 44 quarts of diesel oil ??
That bogles the mind........!

It was a Top Dragster with a cummins diesel engine. It had 2 sets of twin turbos. The oil pan was bowed out about 4 inches and scraping the ground, when he came off the track. The oil pan also had a couple of holes.
