Ken you left out the part about the monster speed bumps that will damage the rig if you don't round them at 2 MPH ...LOL

I should have pointed that out. Those speeds bumps can tear up a rig pretty easy if you do not take it slow.

Good morning folks, yeah its raining, but it looks like we may get part of Friday in and Saturday.... Sunday looks, well not so good.

Sun is trying to peak out this morning. Lots of rain yesterday and last night. No word on drying/prep time.

The texting system is a great way for NHRA to communicate with the racers at an event under conditions like this morning. Well, I guess that is if they actually chose to use it and communicate. I'll just sit here and wonder, sending a text is obviously far too costly and time consuming...

I don’t run very many national events but I can’t remember the last time the text system actually worked. I wish it did as I am severely hearing impaired and it is difficult to hear the radio and PA announcements. Many times the radio system barely works.

Hey guys, we just got the call to be ready by 11AM. They have been working on the track since early morning. The sun is out, not sure how it will effect the track as far as weeping goes.

Hey guys, its good day for racing and I have to give NHRA a thumbs up. Stock just finished with Q2 and Super Stock has just been called. I never thought we would get 2 runs in, but my hats off to NHRA... I feel loved again.

I have more photos coming up later, but here is a quick video in the lanes with Super Stock.

That is sad to discover Mike.

Super Stock action Q1. There is still no schedule for tomorrow. We don't know who is out first, but we are told the Super Stock and Super Gas will get one more run before they start their eliminations. If I had to guess, Stock will be out first for round 1 followed by Super Comp round 1 then Q2 for Super Stock and TT2 for Super Gas,

Good morning everyone... man did it come down last night, it felt like it was never going to stop raining. Like Brett said, no word on start time. It would be nice if they announced something, so we know when to get are cars ready.

I few cars out, and as you can see the pits are soaked.
