I think there were 26 cars that showed up. The no box nationals and the heat kept them away. Running the mopar classes and sportsman for me was difficult because of the temps. The truck was fine and still ran the number. Made passes 10-14 minutes apart at times and ran .010 apart. I don't like hot temps. 26 cars total? Holy cow. I |

Final pair in super pro ran about 6:30-6:45 That is crazy. The start time should have been pushed back like most all the other facilities in the area. Daytime racing in 95* heat when not necessary is silly. |

With the wind it wasn't that bad. My car doesn't mind. I have to pull the lean out to drive back every run and still have to warm it up before the runs even doubled entered. My radiator is too big for when it is cold though

I was all ready to race the first time out, watching temps all week, besides working in it for 50 hours,as well soon as they decided to run in full bore heat I decided car stay in garage , I was staying in a.c.! |

Those 26 Mopar‘s had to enter the other classes so if they weren’t there the classes really would’ve been low those several of the locals had gone to the no box race.
