Stock just finished their first qualifier-- the dirt is that David Barton just went 9.16 in FS trim - should put him in the #1 spot ...........And this reporter can tell you for sure it wasn't a perfect run and he's well on his way to retrieving his $2500.

Back in a bit with a bunch of photos ............

161 cars showed up for first run. 3 cars did not get times. Lots of cars in the wrong class 1st run. I think they were putting up whatever they pre=entered in, not what they teched in at. May take a while to get it sorted out and posted. Summers went 1.40 under. Wong 1.31 under. We went .89 under and I hope we will make the show! More later.

The car haulers are for show.

Barton did run 9.169 in FS/AC trim which is 1.331 under. I show him tied with Chris Holbrook who ran 8.869 in FS/DC trim (also 1.331 under).

Assuming the correct classes, 12 of the top 14 entries are in the Factory Showdown and I now count 27 FS entries.

Can somebody post the time sheet for first round of stock qualifying. DRC still not showing.

[Jack Matyas]

Sorry - this is what you get going fast ...........
