Well they tried very hard and finally got the place dried out - Stock just finished their final qualifier and Comp is on the track .Speaking of the track it again had big teeth today with no one having issues with it .

And for those of you who are wondering (or asked ) I'm no longer last on the quailifing order thank you ...............................Like the song says --- "with a little help from my friends " ...........later .

Jack whats the DA? Looks like a great 1st round match up. Gary Richards and Evan Smith. OLd school Camaro against new school Mustang. We all know what Gary ran at Atco earlier this year. Can Paul tune her up enough? This is worth the price of admission. Wish I was there!! Good luck guys Barry

Barry - With the DA in the high twenties and a storm approaching its anybody's guess what they'll run - but this match-up will be worth the price of admission for sure .I'll go with age and expierence over youth and brass ones ............. But then again we don't know how much Anthony B's car is holding so .....we're back to a you pick 'em .

Thanks for the reports Jack. Your doing a great job as usual. How did the race end up between Evan and Gary. We see Gary is moving on but any details? Thanks Barry

DRC has the results, and as you can see Gary Richard in his 69 Camaro won the C/SA battle. Evan Smith had issues with the 5.0 Cobra Jet and had to lift. Gary went a 10.52 and also lifted.

Jack lost first round, seems like the gremlins struck again. I hope Jack can get it figure at the next race.

I have a nice in car cam from Steve Calabro - A/SA 69 Camaro. I will post it as soon as I am done editing.

Mike, I could not find Alan Peters to do an in car cam, I think he had engine problems.

Here are some more photos of the day.
