OK- I've paid the bill and I'm back - here's a few photos as Ken promised ............BTW , Stock finish their round ( with most I spoke with being 3 to 5 slower than this morning ) and S/S is to go in about an hour ...........

Little bit of a fire drill this morning when officials announced right before Stock ran that the ladder was to be changed - most scrambled to find out who they had to race - in the end it all worked out buy many ended up racing someone else than originally thought .

This will be much more than classic - anyone who knows the Parker brothers will tell you the gloves will be off for this battle - brother Barry who has been off for a couple of years is back bigtime and brother Gary wants to show he's never lost his touch - it'll be big block against small block - Chevelle v Corvette - brother v brother - G/SA v G/SA - this race will be worth the price of admission alone .......anyone who needs ice better get it early as these two will empty the concession stand . Hope someone gets film .........BTW --Little side note - in order to race his brother Gary had to survive a heads-up in round one with Steve McGrath with his '73 Dart .

Other heads-up races in round two -

Tim Fletcher v Matt Ticcony --- F/SA
Charlie Hough v John Fedeli --- K/SA
Joe Lisa v Ron Orsino --- D/SA

Good morning - Today is not starting out well but in the last few minutes looking up - big fog this morning but the Sun just started burning thru ad we'll be a little late starting .A bit chilly last night as the temps dropped into the fifties .

Yesterday was certainly hot and humid like I've not seen in awhile and both racers and fans did everything they could to " keep their cool " - some tried fans and some just stayed in their motorhomes with the Air Conditioning on the chip -- they drank water - soda and even adult beverages but nothing helped .Well , almost nothing as one racer found the answer - Al Mark found the creek next to the Dragstrip and you'd think he hit the lottery ..........He really does look cool and happy .........Well done Mr.Mark ! !

SuperStock finished their first round - many,many runouts because of a tailwind that snuck in unexpectedly .Would have had more photos but I got myself bounced from the starting line area - not sure why - maybe the security guy didn't like my face or something but I didn't want to get into a peeing contest with him so i left the area - funny thing is he didn't ask the people I was standing with to leave - some days its hard to be me .My guess is he's not a member here ..............
