Ed, I did see and talk to Billy, and I can tell you he was loaded.

Here are a few photos from the cars that were out of their trailers today. Would you let that guy in the Camaro sit in your car?

Ken, could you please elaborate on "loaded"? My fans are going to think that I'm a drunk and my sweetie wants to know who I was out drinking with!

Good morning - Today is it - one hit and on to elims - no excuses .And what a morning it is - sunshine / blue skies - the whole ball of wax .And some frost on the pumpkin as they say in these parts . We go out @ 8:45 - I can hear the Jet running as the Safety Safari is prepping the track for us - tech is open - scales are open - pretty soon the parade of cars warming up will start .........excited ?? You bet - lets get this show on the road .......later .

One last thing - weather - 65 degrees - barometer 29.49 - .40 vp 63% humidity and dropping - 1600 " DA .

Earl thanks for the reminder, I got to "watch" Stock over coffee!

How about 1.29 under for the Big 10'' truck, I know the whole team is very happy. Paul has to be overjoyed. Way to go Jim!!!!

Sam Murray brings our first in car cam in his 1972 J/S Cutlass. Sorry for the poor video, but it was hard to find a good spot in Sam's car. I was just happy that Sam was letting me put the video cam in the car.
