Southern Nationals Day 2


We're 14th after two rounds of qualifying that really tested the entire team.  

I was happy with the first run of 5.954/244.38 MPH.  We were 10th the run.  The car was fat, which was okay because we were just looking for a benchmark and wanted to be safe on the run.  

We tried to step it up in the second round, but we just missed it.  Marty ran a 5.998 (236.34 MPH), which dropped us back to 14 heading into our final qualifying Saturday at noon.

The first qualifying run came under very sunny condition, but the afternoon came after a cool down caused by cloud cover, but that didn't make a difference in the run.

Not to make excuses, but we're really working through the issues of everything being new. We're working late into the night to get ready for Saturday.

Frank Manzo is at the top of qualifying after putting up a 5.558/262.54.

Talk to you tomorrow,

Jay
