Mike,

Appreciate all of the pictures and your reports. I haven't seen any shots that show the spectator bleachers. I am not a racer, but take photos from the stands. They do have some, right?

See all in Charlotte next Friday, bright and early.

Do they have lites for night racing?

No lights

A quick midday update before stock runs its first round. The big news here is the weather and more specifically the tail wind which has reached speeds of up to 20 miles an hour. Add to that temps this morning in the low 60s and it makes for a lot of quick runs. About 14 more stockers and several more SS cars came in this morning.

Here are the stock qualifying sheets for the third round

And here is the schedule for today and you can see stock will be the last thing to run and the only first round to run today

I'll be back with a full recap on the day along with plenty of pictures later this evening..

Would they have access to portable lighting if they had to run late?

They moved round 1 to tomorrow after super street. They had a,ready called the right side if the ladder sheet to the lanes before they called it off.

As Bob noted above R1 for stock got postponed until Sunday morning. I think they made the right call - as it turns out the paired cars would have been sitting waiting to run for almost 45 minutes.

It's interesting to note that the racing so far has been incident free - no crashes - no major oil downs - things have run very smoothly.

Now for some pictures of race cars. First up is the cool 71 Chevelle of Jeff and Justin Nibaur. Jeff spent almost 7 years taking his car from its tired used up musclecar state this really clean stocker. It's a steel head version of the square port 454.

You guys out west should recognize this car as one of John Irving's Mopars that is now owned by Steve Scherzchlist from South Dakota.
