Great job with all the reports pics and video. Wish I was there...someday. I don't feel so bad getting kicked off the starting line for doing video anymore Jack. I go right up and take pics of the pros and have conversations with them all the way to beyond the head of staging with a Stocker crew pass! lol Hey Barry, I saw a pic of the old Camaro! For Sale on the back window...hint, hint, nudge, nudge!

Good morning -In less than two hours we'll hit the track again - for Stockers it'll be the last qualifier before class eliminations and a shot to move up or even get into the field .Speaking of getting in the field some big name players are yet to break into the field - names like Dan Fletcher , Brad Plourd , Lenny Williams , Gary and Tom Russell ,and Fred Henson will take a shot at the Indy asphalt this morning again .

This morning is not nearly as humid as its been but its still early and even at this hour the temp is at 72 and climbing ......more fun in the Sun again today .Hey - its Indy -- what did you expect ! !

Back a little later ...............

Good morning yourself Jack, Thanks for posting everything. Not only the racing, but all the "stuff" between the lines so to speak. No one has answered the question regarding Allyson Smyth's 1st pass issues if there were any. Can you do some sleuthing? and while you're there can you post a pic of Team Portatree? Thanks again Jack, and Ken, and Larry and Patsy.
And Thanks for the signed pictures to Sir.
Good luck, fast racing and Safety is wished for for all there.

Allison went 10.98 @ 121. From the stands, I don't remember anything unusual about the run, but I was just writing down times and not paying a lot of attention.

Well from our end of the track it is a little foggy this morning! The Stock Alarms are out and warming up. Everyone hoping to pick up in what should be the fastest run of the day!

more later!

And thanks Chris for sorting the classes back on page 11 or so!
