Well I didn't win the class trophy today but Bentley was able to catch a couple fish this evening. Stock will be out for 1st round at 8 in the morning.

Someone must explain to me the reasoning behind running Class when there's only a 50 car quota (49 showed).

That question would be above my pay grade, it seems to be the way we are going forward with national events. At one time they blamed the quota partly on pit parking space but looking around this weekend I would have to call BS on that one. Bristol is probably the tightest parking of all the tracks we go to and there is plenty of parking left open this weekend. I think it more than likely comes down to how much of OUR money is needed to run the show.

Good morning, it's race day here in Bristol baby. Earlier start time this morning than yesterday and a little cooler as well. We start at 8 and I just got the text to the lanes for pairing. I'm hoping for a better day than what we've had for the first part of the season!

Just think how much room there would be without Top Fool and the fuel Ha Ha cars !

Well I made it through 1st round maybe the spell is broken!! I still did a lousy job at the stripe but fortunately I had the car dialed correctly.

Don't be so modest. .017 package it pretty tough to beat any day! Keep it going!
