Kenny -- Nice shots from Johnny D indeed .....and yes , dialing this morning will be a chore as its anywhere from 4 to 7 faster than yesterday morning but we still have an hour and a half till post time ...............

And believe it or not the fans are coming in droves .Hopefully to see some of us .....

We've been on race hold for more than three hours because of an accident involving a Top Alcohol Funny Car -- from what I've been told racing probably won't resume today but I'll keep you posted .........

I stand corrected -- they just announced that the Pro's will be out in one hour -- around 4pm -- starting with Pro Stock M/C .................Sportsman guys (and gals ) can fire up the bar-b-ques and break out the adult beverages .

How sad. I hope the report of him passing in inaccurate. These things cast such a dark shadow over the weekend and drag racing in general. His family is in our prayers regardless.
