Congrats to Greg Gay! The last SS qualifier was also the final round runoff of the weather shortened Epping LODRS between Greg Gay and Lincoln Morehead. Greg says he won by inches (margin was .00096!). Congrats to both!

Hey guys, well the sportsman are done for the day, we all got two rounds of eliminations. I have to say its been a very smooth day, with very little down time. I can't remember going to NHRA national that ran this smooth.

It almost feels like they actually like us... but I dream

Here are some more random shots in particulate order.

Ken Miele · 09-10-2021, 06:02 PM

Good Morning all, another great weather day for racing. Stock and Super Stock get two more rounds today. I hope to get some top end shots. I have to repeat myself, this race is has been one of the best National events I have been to in a long time. Everything running so smooth. I have not heard of any complaints from the racers this week.

This track also has a strong market, the fans are just rolling in, this place will be packed. Stock should be out at 9:45.... more letter.
