Had a little 6am shower, track crew is on top of things, sun's out. Let's roll! Busy day ahead.

This seems like a very proactive idea,but why don't they finish one race first instead of having two unfinished races possibly?

My guess is they figure they can get both races done today. Otherwise I agree, why not run 1 race then the second. Either way hope they accomplish their goal.

You are probably right.With that few of cars,they probably could run three races in one day.

27 stockers according to DRC - but you're right.

The idea is that guys that lose early in the first race don't have to sit around for hours and hours waiting to even start the second race, and then people would want another time trial after sitting so long whereas the guys that did well in the first race would have fresh data. First time for me, but they've done this program a couple times before when faced with similar circumstances.

No barometer, 80 degrees, humid... 'bout 3400' DA. The headwind is slowing us even more dramatically, but makes it nicer for us humans. I've got it a good tenth slower than Norwalk LODRS.

Hopefully I won't have time to report much, first round's about to start. Follow on DRC!

Okaaaay then... with some luck here and there, won first round four times. ;-) We're jammin' right along.

Think I'm 10/11 so far. Got the bye into the finals of SS Saturday race. In Sunday's race, down to 5 in Super Stock and 4 in Stock.

Got a headache from the heat and playing circle track racer, but it's been cool. Got a respite now as they are doing cleanup and setup for the Nitro Jam show.

Michael,

Can you get a picture of Brian Fain's car. Thanks

Bye into both Super Stock finals I believe! Saturday semis Evanuik vs Adkins. Sunday semis Richard Preiser and Brent Darroch running SS/PA with the Impala!
