Live from Soggy Bottom Piedmont Div 9

No signal at the track again today, and didn't get out and about to take too many pics. Was trying to stay on top of the weather and paying attention to what was going on on-track. We had a few sprinkles off and on, and a couple of wrecks (no one hurt) that slowed down the pace, but the Piedmont and IHRA staff worked to complete a race that would've seemed hopeless at the start of the weekend. We finished up, and then a little more than halfway through the line of winner's circle photos, the sprinkles returned, so we just got it in!

Lots of good racing in Stock. Jamie Southards earned her keep with a .000 light against Lee Truell in Rnd 2, and then had a dead-on 0 run later in the day. "BPE Free" Hillarey "Don't throw away my bottle" Sloan "plug my tire" Leggette made it an all-girls, all-Sloan Racing Engines Stock final, but a pink -.006 red light gave the win to Jamie. I believe the semis were youngsters Adam Keir and Cody Phillips.

Despite brandishing a headache as big as he is, Brandon Peterson whipped up on the Super Stock field just as he did in debuting his Camaro a year earlier. Peterson relegated Homer Carty to a semifinal finish and stepped on a Duck in the finals, trouncing Michael Beard with a solid .012 bulb. Beard advanced to the finals after a semifinal red-light from #2 qualifier Mark Young.
