Hi all,

Got into the line to get into line yesterday afternoon. Overnight another 80 cars got into line behind us. There are several hundred racecars inside waiting for the gates to open at 10 AM. Here a couple of pixs of the area.

Bob, once you get inside would it be possible for you to post a copy of the run schedule for stock and ss for Thurs and Friday? NHRA moved the start of class elims to Thurs after 1 round of qualifying, but it wasn't clear whether they would run rounds 2, 3, 4, etc. of class elims on Thurs or roll those over to Friday. Thanks.

This is the schedule. All class on Thursday. First round stock 8:00 AM Saturday, nothing for stock or super stock on Friday except for tear down, maybe

Hi Ralph,

If the shedule that you posted is correct than NHRA will shoot them selves in the foot again with Stock & Super Stock running back to back on all of their hits.

Stock will still in weight & fuel check when they start running Super Stock.

When we get get in I will try to find out the run schedule and
I will post the weather which happens to be sunny, cold & windy

John DiBartolomeo · 10-28-2009, 05:21 PM

The detailed run schedule for any event has been posted on the nhra.com site lately. Simply click on the home page and on the right under the event, click on Event Schedule. Scroll all the way to the bottom and you'll see Detailed Run Schedule. It usually isn't posted until Tuesday night before the event, but... They've been doing this since the middle of summer I believe.

Big Guy, Are you the crew chief this weekend? Bartender? Color Commentator? What?

Bob Mulry · 10-28-2009, 09:01 PM

Hi Big Boy,

I guess that will be all that and more this weekend.....

How about you, did you bring along any help or better yet....BEER????

See you in the pits

I checked my weather station and the numbers are....60.2 temp, 0% hum, 27.53 baro with a DA of 2825'

This is starting to look like a real National Event with racrecars coming from as far away as Division 1.

These are a few more pix
