Billy, what I meant to say, you were loaded with info. Its always a pleasure talking with you Billy.

Stock just finished qualifying, the weather was good, here are the numbers.

Temp 65
Humd 65
bat 29.50
DA 1569

Here is a few shots of the staging lanes.

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.

Hey Jack,

Good job on reporting! Don't forget the rain tires! What hood was on Totaro's Firehawk? I was just curious since a 2002 Firehawk is not listed in the classification guide. It looks like the only way a Formula Firebird can fit B/SA is to run the heavier flat hood.

Thanks and good luck!
Larry

The warm weather sure brought out the fans today as the place is packed - pro's will run all day then we go out after 5 ...........Bader's place is not the only place for good ice cream - I just had to .

This weekend they are having a tribute to Bill Jenkins and had many of his former cars on hand .
