Sorry everyone for the lack of reports, but the internet is awful. I'm sure most already know the winners and losers for the day.

I do have few observations from this week action. The COPO's were out in force, its great to see GM back in the game again. It makes for great competition with the big three. The weather in one word FANTASTIC !. I have never been to Norwalk in the summer with such perfect weather conditions. And as always, the fans are here in droves.

I did here some rumors going around about Ford and Chevy going full tilt on some nasty engine combos for the Factory Stock Showdown at Indy in the FS/B class.

I will try to get some more photos for second round and maybe a in car cam tomorrow morning, but I will be heading home in the afternoon. I hope everyone enjoyed the reporting for Norwalk, next national for me will be Indy.

Thanks for the reporting and we'll see you in Indy.

Good morning all, its a chilly 53 this morning, but its going to be another perfect day with temps in the mid 70's with sunny skies.

Stock is out first at 8 and I will get some photos from this mornings action, but will most likely not be able to post them until I hit the road this afternoon.

I did find a few photos from yesterday of stockers getting paired up for first round.

We left the track this morning about 7:15 before everyone got their cars out and we could get thru the lanes. Sorry I didn't post much, but with the internet service, it was a struggle that wasn't worth it!

If you are leaving there today and running thru Columbus and Cincinnati, BEWARE! The police are out in force! We have already seen at least a dozen or so. We are in Louisville now and it doesn't seem quite so bad in KY.

Norwalk is always great fun and this year was no different. I didn't get around and see everyone as much as I would of liked, but Larry ran off on the golfcart yesterday just when I was planning to go picture taking! I did get a few that I will post a little later.

All of us "Live" reporters were finally in one place, and I never saw Ken or Jack! When I did get out, they were not home!

Fireworks last night were spectacular, as usual! Aubrey and Reagan really enjoyed them as did the rest of the family. And the grandstands were full! And the campgrounds were full! The Baders know how to put on a show!

Well more later. Good luck to all who are left!

Thank you for the reports, pictures and videos. As always much appreciated.

Well I am home now safe and sound. Larry dumped all of us out of the motorhome and went to the local track, Beacon Raceway, in Paducah, to run a Nostalgia and Muscle car combo tonight. He probably won't get but 1 time trial, but he wanted to go and support their program. Me, I am just ready to be home for a while.

I have a few pictures from Norwalk that were taken on Friday. These first ones were taken during the first round of Super Stock from the stands just before the eighth mile.
