Thanks Deano - we love it .And if you finally get your stuff together and come to the 'Grove I'll make that dinner for you and your father -- see you soon .

Back to racing -- Everyone waited around tonight for the clean-ups but by the time we finally got to run the air had gone away because of the dew coming in -- most lost 3 to 4 hundreths with the hook being only so-so .

Tomorrow is to be another post card perfect day which will start off at 9:15 sharp . After everyone has one Q-shot we'll go right into eliminations.........till then ......

Thanks so much for the updates Ken and Jack. Makes things more interesting for us that aren't able to make it. Also, congrats on your record, Jerry. CB would be proud!!! Lol!

Hey Chief, how many people told you to call Pudgie to buy a Motorhome? LOL

As promised its another dandy today -- more blue skies and bright Sun - just unbelieveable weather this weekend .Most fo you by now must have noticed that in the last few days not once have I mentioned or said that four letter word - no ,not that one - the "R" word -- yep , the same one many of you blamed on me each and every time it happened -- well this weekend is proof to you naysayers that I can be at the track without needing to build an ark .

In a little under two hours SuperStreet and the rest of us will get our 3rd and final Q-pass and then its on to elims .

As for action last night it sure was quiet here last evening - most like myself must have been dogtired and turned in early - that coupled with the fact of because of the great weather we have been enjoying the pollen here is unbelieveable -- plenty of Sudafed in this coach - don't leave home without it .

One thing I forgot to mention yesterday was that while hunting for my oil leak up on a lift I invited some NHRA officials ( it was the perfect time as I was leaking oil bigtime) over to inspect the oilpan / diaper possibilities on our GTO and its just not going to happen because in several areas this space is very limited to say the least.......my vote is for a bellypan deal - their vote is still open so don't be afraid to speak with them whenever you can about this important subject . More later ................

Stock just finished their last pass before elims and I really doubt if anyone moved up the ladder as the weather is perfect but anything but fast .The temp is 88 already with low humidity and also a low barometer ( for here ) of 29.70 and a final DA of 2760 .Most saw a drop of at least .05 from yesterday morning .

SuperStock up soon .......
