I'm loaded and ready to go. It's about a two and half hour drive. I have a feeling te Fletch will be there on his way back from the western swing. More later.

Michael Beard · 08-09-2013, 12:23 PM

I'll get there sometime tonight... still workin'.

Michael Beard · 08-09-2013, 09:43 PM

Pulled in around 9pm. Must have had some downtime. Hot Rod and Stock got a run, then they announced no more qualifying tonight. Everyone will get 2 hits tomorrow including HR and STK.

See you in the morning.

One of the nicest weekends we've had for this event over the years. Sunny and 78 degrees, with a fair cool cross headwind, Baro 29.20 down a smidge from this morning, but the humidity has dropped from 56% to 44%, leaving us with an adjusted altitude of 2544' for the second qualifying session. Decent turnout in Stock with 40 or so, but Super Stock is lean at 17. Points leader and #1 qualifier Mark Nowicki is poised to make good use the 'magic ladder', with a first round bye and another awaiting in the semis.

Stock is in the lanes now for round one. SS on standby.

First show session is done, cleaning track now, will roll into round 2 shortly.

Mike Fuller · 08-10-2013, 10:06 PM

Got through second round. We were right after the jets and the IHRA track crew had the track as good as it could be.

Michael, what time to they plan to start the third round of the Pro Am tomorrow? I didn't hear any time announced.

Michael Beard · 08-10-2013, 10:55 PM

They pick up at 9am in the morning.

good luck to everyone still in competition. Did you see what happened at Farmington?

Police would not let them start earlier this morning, so they postponed the race!
Glad I didn't make the 6 hour trip there!

Congrats to Chris Stephenson for winning the race and Mike Fuller for your runner-up. Looks like retirement is working for you, too, Mike!
