Sunday morning and its not looking terrific -- 100% cloud cover -- maybe the Sun will burn this off before our 9 AM start -- 59 degrees at this moment with the humidity set at 70% -- barometer is 30.09 with a 700' DA . The Atco staff is out already prepping the track with its owner Joe Sway leading his team on a sweeper/cleaner -- here's a hands-on owner who's not afraid of getting his hands dirty .Been seeing many NHRA staffers going by the last 10 minutes or so-- my money says their going to the 8:15 meeting this morning and you really don't want to be late for one of Bob Langs' morning meetings -- nuff said .



Things will have to move along rapidly this morning because of the classes not run last evening -SuperGas ,Top Sportman and Top Dragster but we'll catch-up because of our 9am start .....later

Stock round 5-- Bubba over Sansone -- Allison loses to McCracken -- Sepanek wins another round -- Robinson goes another.......Finally have some time to post -- got a little busy this afternoon -- went a few rounds............

Turned out to be a beautiful day here at Atco with the temps in the high seventies and very sunny .

Stock rd 6-- Sepanik bulbs --its Bubba and Robinson in the final
S/S -- Null in the final.......

[Jack Matyas]

Robinson runs dead on but Bubba wins at one over (and a good blip at the top end) to take the stripe.
Null goes dead on for the win over Antonette in S/S .

Nice work guys, thanks for all the images of cars some of us may never see.

[Mike Meier]

Hey Issac, thanks for getting that picture in the staging lanes. It's rare that I ever smile for the camera without being forced.

Does anyone know where I can find pictures from the track (or division) photographers from this race?

[Isaac Zane]

Check here. They're not posted yet, but probably soon will be.

BTW, it's easy to smile when you are in a race car, at least before the ready line!
