Good morning everyone, Super Street has been called to the lanes, Stock to follow. Stock and Super Stock will get 3 more rounds today as will the .90 classes. Weather is just a little cooler the yesterday mornings 1st round. We had heavy rains yesterday evening, but the next 2 days we will have picture perfect weather with temps in the upper 70's.

A morning of dial-in challenges!!

How about Bobby Fazio. Going to round 4 in a borrowed car. Is that cool or what?

Hey guys, we are moving right along. 4th round for Stk, SS, and the .90's cars will be after the last qualifier of the pros. Showdown cars are in the lanes now for round 1.

Photos from Q3 Showdown.

Next batch...

A few more, and look at the last two photos... this place is jammed with fans. It took over an hour to go 4 miles to get into the Gatornationals.

What car or whose car was he driving?

Brian O’Toole owns the 1989 Mustang convertible that Bobby was driving. Brian is one of our D2 regulars who couldn’t get into the Gators field (the one that filled in less than 5 minutes) and graciously loaned Bobby his car. Disappointed to see them go out but today’s semis feature a huge spot (Strickland v. Turner) and a heads up between Grubb and Gray. Must see TV right there.

Also, after many years of not subscribing I rolled the dice and find the NHRA.TV app is hugely improved.

Thanks Jim for giving the info.
I want to apologize to Bobby as I pick the wrong dial that round and he just could not run the number.
Thanks Bobby for the amazing job of driving at the Gators.
