So you want good news - here it is - the high heat that we had yesterday seems to have leveled off some - didn't need to run the AC during the night - what a relief ! ! This morning its a bit overcast but not nearly as humid .Temps today will only reach the mid-seventies .

Anyone know what time they'll let us in this AM ? Stock is out first today but that doesn't seem to be in my furure at this moment ....

Back a little later - since my post yesterday Ken has decided to click a few pics - maybe he'll try again this morning if he's not sleeping in ........

Jack, I've found that sometimes the weekends that start off bad will many times end up good. Never know? You ARE due for a win!

Sorry folks, the internet was extremely slow. Uploading videos are painfully slow.

This in car cam is brought to you by Chris Holbrook in his 2014 Watson Racing Cobra Jet. Chris ran a 8.10 @ 167 on this pass

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.
