Good news barring tech, there'll only be 32 racers who'll not qualify in the field at this years race (since only 160 of the available 180 spots were taken this year in Stock & 145 for Super Stock for the unlucky 17). However, the bad news will be for whoever those 32 (and 17) racers are....

Gary, there are 26 cars entered in factory stock, 18 drop back in to regular stock.

The line is moving in!!

Officials were setup and ready to go at 7am handing out paper work and pulling rigs in. Bob Lang was also there to greet us in line and helping out with the paper work, a welcome sight. Rigs are moving in at a good pace.

Started at 7:02am and we were #51. Parked at 8:02am so they are at the right pace this morning.

Suck it up and get here sooner. -- Good luck to all you guys racing at the Big Go !

The alternative is Earlville for the Heartland/MCR race...gates are never closed. Come in and park whenever and wherever you'd like. And you get to race for $4000 EACH DAY! Another bonus is you don't have to waste a week's vacation.

Parking is going amazingly well!! It is 10;00 and #167 is being parked! Everyone is being able to park pretty much where they would like. Parking people are nice and friendly ! Credentials are going well also. They have moved to the teardown tent.

More later!
