Anyone know what happened to bill Dyer's new FS/K Cobrajet in eliminations last week at Gainesville ? He qualified but I never saw where he made a run in eliminations

I found a few more cars out, I also have a photo of the credential trailer. No lines for most of the day. I'm guessing that having a division race here before the national helped things go smoothly today.

Well I spent most of the day inside cooking chili. At least it was warm inside after Larry worked on the furnace for a while this morning. We had not had it on in a couple of years and it did not want to stay lit, but it is warm and toasty in here now.

Tech (or no tech) went fine today. We went over and got our tech card, car and pit pass, filled out card and was in line for 15 or 20 minutes. The biggest job is for the poor ladies in the trailer. Wilma and Gloria had their jobs about tripled! I hope they got triple pay!!

We have not heard anything contrary to the fact that we are to begin running at 8:30 in the morning. With it being 28 degrees, we will have to see if that still happens. My prediction is that we will all lose our 1st run of the day and we won't start til at least 10. But that is just my opinion! And you know how valuable that is!LOL

Here is a picture to show just how cold it was this morning! Snuggling weather!

Depending on how busy we are with class and how cold it is, I will try to get some pics tomorrow!!

Good morning all, I will let the photo tell the story for this morning. One other thing to note. I have not heard one car running this morning which is very strange, because there are always cars warming up at this time in Gainesville. No word if the start time has been changed.

No caption needed. It's cold.

The frost on Larry Hill's driver at 7:56 am

Calling for an 8:45 start for Stock.
