Not sure if this is a shame or a sham.

MJ, yea I miss being there to visit with all my friends as well as the reporting. There was a time a couple of weeks ago where it looked like I would have the engine back in the car and make it, but the wrong Pistons showed up. They came back again earlier this week and ....... Wrong again. But with the heat and other drama you guys are starting the race weekend with I'm not feeling so bad right now. Pistons Are due back on Monday and everything else is just about ready to go back together. Looks like you along with Andrew are handling the reporting just fine. Stay cool. I hope to see you guys soon.

5:00 and Stock Q1 has just finished. A few cars spun but most appeared to have no issues. The Top 16 courtesy of D3TV.

Super Stock Q2 starts off Saturday with 30 minutes of downtime to clean up an exploded rear axle on the starting line. It requires a full 5 alarm clean up with track personnel, track cleaning Zamboni machine, roll back, jet dryer and power brush tractor.

Stock eliminator finished up it's second and last qualifying run around 1130 this morning. The round appeared to be very uneventful and the track in good condition. It was surprising to see how many cars ran right on or with in several hundredths of their first run yesterday afternoon. Here are the top 16 qualifiers courtesy of the 3 here are the top 16 qualifiers courtesy of the D3TV.

Here are the final Stock Q-Sheets and ladder courtesy of John Nechiporchik.

There is a first round A/S match-up between the cool 65 Corvette of Brett Saurbaugh (still has the IRS) and Paul Carr in the Checkmate Camaro.
