The pollen is unreal....... everyone's trailer and car is covered with yellow pollen. Clean it off and it's back in 15 minutes..... unreal.

Good morning -- Today is not the day we hoped for to finish final eliminations as it overcast and muggy but in a little more than an hour we'll get going .With the barometer at 29.69 and temp in the low seventies along with humidity at almost 70% our final DA ends up around 2100' -- still a bunch faster than yesterday but it just feels sticky and yuck .And to make matters a little worse that green and yellow stuff is everywhere - almost seems like we on Mars when you look at the ground .Hopefully some of this will burn off till race time and it'll turn out to be a nice day as we planned .

Here's a new one that you can't blame on me - we're on hold -- I'm not sure if that is even correct as we didn't get started yet -- here it comes -- because of too much pollen on the track -- no kidding -- this stuff is thick like you wouldn't believe -- and believe it or not the cure might be a good rain as you can't sweep this stuff because it sticks to the glue on the track ..............this will go into the record books for sure . More later ............

[Jack Matyas]

11:25 -- they're saying we'll start in a few minutes .......we'll see .

Just finished Stock rd2 -- track wasn't bad at all -- can't tell you much as i got back for the last few pairs -- Miele won -- Hawk won his heads up - and I had a great race with Johnny Gray -- i took the stripe by 001 in a double breakout deal and was out by 003 less -- talk about close ...........superstock up soon .
