Good morning everyone, its another beautiful day at Indy. Right now its 60 and clear, but by the time we run stock class starting at 8:30 it should be in the mid to low seventies.

A few more actions shots along with some Super Stock in the staging lanes.

Does anyone know what combo the 2009 Challenger's are running in A/SA? Looking at the guides on NHRA.com it looks like the 2010 345 305/421 can drop down to A/SA but I must be missing something for the '09 stock automatics.
