For those who are here today it will be a long one as racing starts at 8:15 sharp and a very agressive schedule it is for both Sportsman and Pro's .
Yesterday had its ups and downs for sure - the Stock session was one of the best I've witnessed here at the Grove - watching the "Droozemobile" speed to the #1 spot showed me they are working on these new cars -- as it left the line it looked more and more like a traditional stocker - congrats to the "NewHemi" team --- and the delay - one of the longest while the Sun was shining - they tried hard but it took forever and I'm sure every member of the Safety Safari went to bed tired last evening - but one just has to ask -- what in the world keeps causing the water problems ? We thought they had been fixed but yesterday showed us that's not the case - at least not yet . As for the fans - up and down for them also - I couldn't believe my eyes yesterday afternoon when after a several hour delay the stands were still packed -but in the end they were treated to spectacular Pro show late last evening . As you'll tell from the photos there were plenty of people here yesterday playing hookey from work . In case you're interested its still chilly here in Pennsylvania - sounded like my furnace ran most of the night and at this moment its a balmy 52 degrees and climbing as the Sun comes up in half an hour - today will have less humidity and a tick better barometer with the high temp of 72 - sounds like it could be faster today .Low tonight to be 38 with possible frost . One final thing -- go Phillies ! ! ! ! Didn't see that coming did you ...............

Byron, it would be nice to have 230 cc intake runners and a 1000 cfm throttle body at 285hp. You guys in SS are going to find out about these new cars in the next year or two.

Ken,
Take that picture of Bobby Bender off the site....It just cracked my screen....haha Good to see you yesterday Bender, I'll make sure I drag the old man out for the Dutch so he can pay the sponsor money for winning class. From what I heard last night when I left Comp was getting 1 shot and into 1st round, S/C and S/G both still have to get their time shots cause they got the hook yesterday when the "Weepers" came up. They will only run 1 round today and 2nd round will be on Sunday...Stk, SStk, Super Street all will get 2 rounds today. The Alky Cars may go into 1st round today since time is limited. I did see the run order yesterday but, as they they say "Subject to Change". As Jack said it will be a Jam Packed day at the Grove!! |
