others have the same plans. Weather is rainy and cool this evening. Sunny and mid seventies forecast for tomorrow. Tech was performed at our/others trailers. Scheduled for three time trials tomorrow. Class on Friday. I will most likely be in the auto combination group (FSS/B).
Take care. Keep us posted on your status
Doug and Lydia

Doug,, thanks for the kind words,,, now go out there and execute your plan!

I'd like say thanks for all of the stock and super/stock racers from near and far that made it to Brainerd this year. Also a special tip of the hat to class racers that had their NHRA numbers visible from the bleachers, the super classes were very hard to see.

Schedule change due to weather concerns resulted in running stock and super stock class today. Rain on Saturday of concern. Lost class against
Hopkins FSS/B. Tomorrow calls for one time trial followed by first round.
Have my reaction time adjustments narrowed down...almost.
Fun Day

Doug, thanks for the update. Hopefully the weather will not be as bad as anticipated. So will the ladders be set from today's qualifying or will tomorrow count, or just a time trial for all. Just curious, have 2 friends there racing. Brian Seaburg from Belfair, Wa. and Brian Thompson from Federal Way, Wa.

Brian Seaburg is getting things figured out with his U/SA Comet. Qualified up from #40 to #36 to #3. Not much to look at, but always tough to beat.

Congrats to Brian Seaburg for winning class yesterday! I see the other U/SA car, driven by Skip Lisell is atop the qualifying list,,, anybody know what combo he is running? I can't imagine theres too many 302-Comet/Maverick racecars out there running around. I know of one that stayed home this weekend to run the divisional here.

Skip drives the ex-Bob Shaw Cadillac.

A Caddy and a Comet. Must have been some drag race!

I remember a run between two VW Beetles at Milan in the 60s. They were bumper to bumper for so long that the crowd and tower were able to make jokes, pick sides and cheer the winner during the run.
