Hey Larry, The tach only moves foward or up if it is tire spin, when the clutch slips its like it on the conveter in a auto. just kinda sets there for a instant then catches up and goes on.

Not worst, but first. We'll never know if his foul was worse, as his opponent never even had to try. This Fernandez character simply handed over a freebie.

Now it all makes perfect sense.

These shots are under and around the tower for first round Super Stock. It has been another great day of racing, weather has been perfect and we are all done for the day.

Tomorrow looks to be the same as does the schedule, but we will run 3 rounds tomorrow.

All and all I'm happy with the way the car ran after making the required repairs to get it ready to do something the afore mentioned trolls don't do.My consistency behind the wheel showed the rust from this being the first outing of the year.I had a good time anyway.
Now I'll have the company of daugher #1 tomorrow and both daughters and two of my grand daughters as spectators for the remainder of the race.
Some real surprises first round of S/SS.But that's what makes this so interesting.

Jack,
Sorry to hear about Bob Moran, do you know if anybody dove his rig back for him? He's from my area and I'd be willing to run down there and bring his stuff back if needed. I know Bob tavels alone a lot.
