Hey guys, we just got the last call for testing... a good day if you needed a lot of track time. Mostly cloudy, but no rain. Photos from the pits and a few action shots from todays testing.

Sterling Simons is out in force with 3 cars for this race. The next 4 photos are Arthur Morris in his C/SA Trans Am... super clean car.

Super Street has just been called to the lanes. We were supposed to start at 8:30 but there was a slight mist in the air, and the track surface was not to the liking of track crew. They have been working on the track for 2 hours and it looks like we will be racing soon. Its still cloudy out and the weather numbers have not changed much, temp is up 3 to 66.

Stock Q1, I will have Super Stock up as soon as they post it.

Super Stock Q1. We have some down time as of 2:35... Vincent Nobile in his Top Dragster had and engine expired going through the traps, lots of smoke, and then a hard hit into the wall. He was out of the car quickly and is okay.
