Good morning all, todays racing will be on hold for awhile. It rained on and off all night. At the present time it has stopped and there are calling for it to clear up by noon. Its still cloudy out and looks like it might start up again.

No schedule has been posted as of yet, but I'm sure it will be an abbreviated one.

Angelo, I'm using a go pro, still working on mount to stop the shakiness.

Thanks Sal, still have to fine tune my skill level.

I forgot to post the first photo yesterday. Dave Barton and Mike Skinner chatting before the final Factory Stock Showdown run.

Can somebody please explain to me how Victor got a Stock entry to this race?

Isaac Zane · 10-04-2014, 08:10 AM

Owner points?

Third cousin twice removed to the registrar?

Sal - glad you enjoyed it - with the schedule today it might be a good day to head there .

Good morning - By the sound on my roof all night we got a bunch of rain and its never a good sign when you hear the Jet track dryer shut down .Its just misting at this moment in the pits but could be coming down hard elsewhere .

Last nights round two of Stock and Super/Stock brought more than a few surprises as you couldn't trust your weather stations and the headwind bit a bunch of racers .And no one seems to know why there wasn't a spotlite shining on the tree as there has been in the past .Maybe they just forgot to turn it on ? We'll never know .Many racers complained about not seeing the bulbs because of this .

Good news - the Jet is running again - maybe they just shutdown to gas up - or went for a potty break - all that coffee .....well you get it ! !

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

Billy, THEY are probably giving grade points based on net worth, bank balances and such, which would explain why some of us are not racing this weekend........

Usage is determined by action vs something being acted upon.
Darkness affects something...
The effect of darkness was something...

I couldn't get in either. I think there are owner points that can be earned. That could contribute to his entry into the race.
