Wow. Saw that yellow Calif plate,reminded that in 1960 when I was about six, my parents bought a brand new 60 Chevy Impala hardtop from C.S. Mead Chevrolet on Colorado Blvd in Pasadena, later it was Service Chevrolet where you could get your car dyno tuned by Don Nicholson, and the license number was THV 996. Close to that plate above! A few years later, we moved to the scenic Rogue Valley in southern Oregon,that Cal plate got turned in for Oregon license plate 9N 942. Pacific Wonderland plate, as well. Four years later, we moved back, and we lived here ever since in So Cal. After Mom passed in 2007, my brother and I were cleaning out the house and I found both those Oregon plates. One of them is on the back of my Chevelle, the other is on my wagon. Family keepsake, I guess.Incidentally, gasoline in this state, is $3.49 for 87 octane, the premium is 3.79. Every May, gas goes up about 65-80 cents,stays that way all summer, then slowly drops in the early fall.Real nice of them.

$3.49? I paid $2.85 at Costco in San Dimas yesterday. Still too high, but better than $3.49

Calm down Fred, it will be on DRC later tonight. Weather has been the same all day, the numbers I posted early were the about the same.

Stock and Super Stock in the lanes for eliminations trying to beat the rain.

[Ken Miele]

Still racing, with a sprinkle now and then...

[Ken Miele]

We are done for the night, hats off to NHRA for getting as much done as they did. It looks like we got two rounds in for everybody, I'm sure DRC will have all the results for todays action up later tonight.

Weather for tomorrow, overcast with a slight chance of rain.
