Ok, downloading right now a treat for all of you (I hope). It was a treat for me to watch as I am usually racing and don't get to spectate!

Alex & I went into the stands and I took a picture of every pair of stockers leaving the starting line. It tested my own reaction skills, but they will be up on that link shortly. Gotta fly, Superstockers are going up!

Thanks for the pictures. I have some posted from indy, charl, and alt., but I should have gone to the Rock this week end. I love the wheels up starts.
Keep the pictures coming. Good luck.

Thanks for the kind words, Butch! It was a gorgeous day to be at the track - much better than at home where it's cold and rainy.

We picked up a bit second round, but spun the tires about three feet out. So crappier 60' times. Frustrating. I guess tomorrow I will concentrate on the down track inspection instead of just the launch pad. I didn't take any pictures during SS round two, sorry, I was so frustrated for Alex I stomped and pouted my way back to our pit spot right after our run.

They moved up the start time of the race tomorrow to 8 am now due to impending weather potential. Ought to be fast in the morning if the barometer holds, but most likely won't. That's it for now. Gonna go now and have a glass of wine in honor of the "Live From...." Queen, Mrs. Patsy Hill. What wine goes well with gyros?

Good morning - it's almost 9 am and the sun is out finally. Rained a bit overnight, and was overcast and spitting a bit as they called hot rod at 7:45. We were doubtful if we would get any racing in due to the cloud deck, but it has since cleared away.

Hot Rod started going down about 8:15 after they ran the jet dryers a few passes to clean up the spit. Ran about three or four pair. Then a crash after the finish line. Not sure who it was but he got out of the car ok on his own. The car stopped way at the top end so we couldn't see anything to find out who it was or what happened. At least he's ok.

They are running the jet dryers again now as we wait.

Air: 72 F, 76% hum. 29.47 bar and about 2000 feet.

Just back from our run. Was hoping to pick up, and we did but not much. Cross wind about 20-25 mph. Alex drove an extra 20 feet trying to keep it straight. LOL 76 F 75% 29.49 and 2304'. Very disappointed in the track. Starting line was ok-ish. But about three feet out was all torn up, and then about 8 more feet very bald. No new pictures, sorry, didn't get down there for stock.

At about 1000 ft when you reach the end of the concrete bleachers on the spectator side that cross wind can feel like a hurricane even in a calm wind !!

Even though DRC isn't showing even a Superstock ladder yet, Stock just finished round one. There was a lot of good close races, and then some not so much. The wind has been a devil, we don't have our wind meter with us but I would say it's a steady 20 mph and gusting higher. And the worst part is switches from cross tail to cross to cross head. A bugger to figure out. Running Super Rod now, then box/no box. Not sure when we will get to go.

Thanks so much for the pics, neighbor!

There was nothing STEADY about that wind today! Man, that was as bad/worse than Maple Grove can get. He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named was walking through the staging lanes with a wind meter, "It 6 mph tail - 9 mph head! ....?!?!?!" Terry was watching Top Sportsman earlier in the day, and watched the burnout smoke pass the car, stop, and then pass the car back the other way!

See y'all in the mornin'.
