Glad to help James even if it is just to diagnose the problem. Onan generator was NOT the problem, this time. Transfer switch gone bad. If I had one I’d change it. When my Stocker friends need help, I will do what I can anytime....

Even with the rain that came down heavy for 15 minutes we were able to get a full days racing in. As you can see from the first photos the skies got very ugly. The track was ready to go in less than an hour after the rains came.

Tomorrow's schedule leads off with Stock at 9:30am weather permitting. They are calling for thundershowers in the morning and afternoon along partly sunny skies in between. We will see how its goes.

Good news is I found a transfer switch and as of about an hour ago I installed it and all is good. Bad news, I'm exhausted! Thanks for all the help from Rich and others that offered assistance, Sarai and Shane Oakes loaned me a car to pick it up. The racing family is good even when you're a long ways from home.

Good morning everyone, hot and humid again today. It rained early this morning, but the track is almost dry. Stock will be out soon with our last qualifier followed buy the rest of the classes. The weather for the rest of the weekend looks good, we just have to deal with the heat.

I have been very busy this race and will try to get more photos later today if things ever calm down.

We are in a rain delay. We were halfway through Super Street when the rains came. The track was almost dry and it started up again. It has just stop , tracking drying underway.

Yo Ken,
Was there an issue with the scales Friday as there are 2 DQ each in Stock and Comp?
