Stockers are in the lanes. 9:00 a.m.

54 degrees, 73%, 30.14 = -239 ft below sea level on our Tag. Thats compared to 2200 ft at Columbus 2 weeks ago. Fastest air our station has ever seen.

Should be faster than the first pass yesterday.

Just heard them anounce Evan Smith go 10:90 -1.397. #1 at this point. Cutting it a little close on the auto HP. Nice run, I thinks that's the fastest he has gone with that car.

Ficacci 9.711 @ 136 mph fastest stocker run ever.

If Gove doesn't rattle the tires, I bet he goes in the 7's!

Just a short post--gotta get back to teardown -- Much as everyone is thinking its extra fast out there just as many didn't pick up this morning including myself..........

SuperStock out on the track now for their last shot -- Stock round one is to be run at approx. 3:30 or so -- Interesting first round matchups -- Dave Ficacci vs Billy Pires.. Lee Zane vs Don Pires .. Steve Ficacci vs The Champ .. the same Ficacci that has the world's fastest stocker ... Joe DeMarzo vs Anthony Fetch . Unlike other Divisions this afternoon there will be a full 128 car field in Stock with a couple of guys going home as alternates .Don't have the final sheets yet but this has to be one of the fastest Stock fields ever assembled -- we'll see ! ! !

Congrats to my friend and team member Gary Russell on his GT/F record -- 9.91 .
