NHRA.TV says it'll start at 11:30. Does that mean they won't be broadcasting Sportsmen or that you are also at 11:30?

Good morning everyone, it rained over night and into the morning. It has stopped for the most part... its overcast and damp with a mist here and there. They are pumping water off the track, and just started the track dryer.

No word on when we will start racing today. My opinion... it does not look good. The weather is coming off the ocean, there is so much moisture in the air. i would be shocked if we get anything done today, but lets hope we get a break in the weather.

Drag Race Central reports track drying now.

The weather app on my phone shows a dry window until 2:00 pm then a chance of rain the rest of the day.

NHRA.TV shows "Please stand by, event starting soon.

Dragracecentral is reporting that the pros get on the track 1st. I hope Sportsman get a shot today.

Hey guys, track is just about dry. Pros out first, but rain is minutes away. It looks like another rain delay coming soon. I tried to get some pictures, but no one has their cars out. Lets hope tomorrow is a better day.




*Update* It just started to rain.

[Ken Miele]

Another update folks, just like Gainesville... if you want to pull out now and go home, you will still get a refund. Wie still have light rain.

[Ken Miele]

Rain has stopped for a while now, the track is almost dry. No word on when the sportsman will go down the track. The pros will be out soon.

I would guess there's a lot of wet cars even with the rain stopped.

Good morning everyone, we get three rounds today all before the pros... that's if the rain stays away. They are prepping the track, and we should start at 9am with Stock first round. Weather forecast calls for rain today, so it will be another long day.

Here are FSS from yesterdays qualifying...
