It's another nice day here in Norwalk Raceway! The rack seems to be okay, there is no water coming through the track and the wind is mild.

I have to take a pic of the qualifying sheets after I post here. We pushed a push rod through the #7 intake rocker arm at @ 400ft down the track. I will start to upload mre video right now while we have the generator running.

I've never seen so many people at a drag race! I was at the Winternationals this year and that was half as crowded! The number of people here I would guess to be 40,000 and when we left today at 6pm there was a line of cars to get in over a mile long just on the 601 alone! This is a testament to Bill Bader and the service he offers as a great track owner, on a side note I've never seen so many desperate chics, to bad it was to go to the bathroom..hehe.. I'm back at the hotel and will upload pics first then videos one at a time. Wish I was racing to...

Summit Racing gave away an awful lot of tickets, and I saw a lot of folks coming in with those free tickets in hand. Good for Summit Racing. They know who to make it good for the cars and the people. More people equals more cars, and a better show.

It is a circle that some folks just don't get, but more people draws more people. And that is what we all talk about, how to fill more seats, so that the whole experience, for spectators and racers is better.

Once again congrats to Summit Racing for making this a great event.

It was great to see folks streaming in, not great to get out and caught in the traffic jams around the park, but hey, it was all good. A good race, and great group of spectators. We had metric ton of folks stop by, take pictures, and had about a dozen kids sitting (one or two at a time) in the Drag Pak. We even signed autographs for some of the kids. Way Cool!

But those kids are the racers of tomorrow. Drag racing will never be like it was back in the day. Bu that doesn't mean we should stop trying to make a good experience for the fans. Drooze, still talks about experiences he had growing up, like hangin with Smokey Yunnick in the pits at the Brickyard, etc. We may not be the Big names. But I can tell you those kids will look at those pictures the parents and Grand parents took, and remember that car. And they will remember that Racing is fun. Even if you are a 10 year old spectator.

I've got enough video for now so this second round of stock will be all pictures. They are up right now. Will post pics right after this round, hopefully this will help uploading time.

We won a double breakout race in the third round against Steve McFarland by .002! My father watch steve all the way done and drifted way over to the cement wall. Their dials we're 10.70 & 10.72. Neat race to watch!

I caught a cold this weekend as well as being hit by a golf kart on the spree today by an old guy talking to someone and looking the other way..I dumped it an kissed the ground. He and I both agreed it was his fault, I'm so sick of getting blamed for stuff It made me happy to hear them say "sorry, that was my fault".

I will upload everything over the night tonight in Cali. My connection is great there. Good Luck to the rest of the racers.

On my way to the airport now.

If anyone can add round information please do. Thanks

Zaskowski won a heads up and failed fuel check. That is a bummer! The guy he beat had another heads up and lost that one in the next round. I HAVE both heads up races on video.Those will post tonight.
