Why wasn't the track already scraped? Someone should have told them they were having a big event this week.

A small rain shower turned into a pretty large one for a while. Just stopped raining maybe 15 mins ago. They announced they're going to start from the beginning with SS, no runs made earlier will count if I understood correctly.

Not sure if this is a shame or a sham.

5:00 and Stock Q1 has just finished. A few cars spun but most appeared to have no issues. The Top 16 courtesy of D3TV.

Super Stock Q2 starts off Saturday with 30 minutes of downtime to clean up an exploded rear axle on the starting line. It requires a full 5 alarm clean up with track personnel, track cleaning Zamboni machine, roll back, jet dryer and power brush tractor.

Stock eliminator finished up it's second and last qualifying run around 1130 this morning. The round appeared to be very uneventful and the track in good condition. It was surprising to see how many cars ran right on or with in several hundredths of their first run yesterday afternoon. Here are the top 16 qualifiers courtesy of the 3 here are the top 16 qualifiers courtesy of the D3TV.
