Anyone know why Papp was DQ in his 71 Nova in SS?

[Bob Pagano]

Speaking of rain you all better hope the storms coming out of the west dont hit you Sat & Sun, we got over 8 inches in Tyler in less that 24 hrs.

[W J]

Weather forecasters are also changing previous fair weather forecasts to "iffy" for Sat.-Sun. here in New England as well.....Hopefully E-town will miss any washout weather....Looks like some great racing ahead, w/loaded fields....Best wishes to everyone running there. WJ

Good Morning -- In less than four hours Stock will go out for their first round and today looks like one that most Classracers would love - just looking out my window it looks fast - Sunny - blue skies with temps in the lo fifties at this moment with low humidity . I haven't checked my weather station yet but its 'gotta be good .

Interesting match-ups ----Szupka v Rampy Martel jr v Pires jr Santangelo v Iacono
Big handicaps ----Shaul A/SA v Fernandez T/SA -- yes Ed ,he will come by 35mph faster
Sansone D/SA v DiBartelemeo V/SA
Broadbent A/S v Briori T/SA
Heads-ups --- Bardecoff v Moran B/SA
Lynch v Quatraton H/SA
Boudreau v Welker B/SA
Barton v Letellier A/SA

Back a little later .........

Great job Jack keep up the good work................

[Ken Miele]

Hey Jack, John DiBartolomeo the editor DRAG RACING ACTION Magazine www.dragracingaction.com sent me some great action shots.

The weather I have for this morning is....
temp 68
humd 56
bar 30.01
da 1158

I don't think it will be as good when we run, dial in will be tough this morrning.

[danny waters sr]

Thanks for the pics and updates. Hope the weather stays good for you all to run. Good Luck.

[Jack Matyas]

Kenny -- Nice shots from Johnny D indeed .....and yes , dialing this morning will be a chore as its anywhere from 4 to 7 faster than yesterday morning but we still have an hour and a half till post time ...............

And believe it or not the fans are coming in droves .Hopefully to see some of us .....

[Jack Matyas]

We've been on race hold for more than three hours because of an accident involving a Top Alcohol Funny Car -- from what I've been told racing probably won't resume today but I'll keep you posted .........

[Jack Matyas]

I stand corrected -- they just announced that the Pro's will be out in one hour -- around 4pm -- starting with Pro Stock M/C .................Sportsman guys (and gals ) can fire up the bar-b-ques and break out the adult beverages .
