About half an hour till start , the weather is beautiful !
A slight crosswind @ 5-10 mph ,29.80 actual barometer ,75.5 deg ,58% RH, 80 grains of moisture , vapor pressure .531 and a Density Altitude of 1740 feet
We are supposed to have 4 beautiful days like this , so with everyone getting 4 hits on the track , look for some really dialed competitors !

Just finished Q2 for stock, the temp went much higher than expected, 87 first run, 88 2nd run. Most ran alittle slower than expected. Traction was ok for me and most, did see some spin, Both of Bob Letelliers COPO's cars spun bad on the second run. Wind is strong, but mostly cross.

The weather is just outstanding, SS is running Q2 momentarily.

The NHRA tech dept has caught some with fake front batteries in stock, caught them in tech and made them change them.

I wonder how much that will cost them? Will it be money or time off? I hope it will be just a warning with a smile. It could have been worse, check them after last qualifying run and DQ them for not having legal run!

Dave very good reporting.

Only 34 SS? Surprising

Stock and Super Stock have finished for the day, 3 tt's and the schedule went smoothly. Dean Ribeiro is on top of the Stock list followed by John Shaul, Ron Infantano and Jame Perone(driving Ken Richard's Camaro) most slowed slightly in the third round of time trials today. It has been bright sun most of the day, and considering that, the track held up well.

1 final time run tommorrow and then 1st round . It will be super street at 1030 followed by stock.

No word on any penalties for the fake batteries
