Day 1

Hey everybody!

This is coming to you from the sunny, hot, Pomona, California where temperatures have reached about 85. I am definitely feeling pain for all of those on the East Coast, suffering in the cold.

Today was our first qualifying pass. We ran 5.82 seconds at 253mph, which puts us currently at 14th. We were looking to calm the car way down and to make a smooth pass down the track. We did this, just slower than we had hoped. This is a solid foundation to build on for tomorrow's 2 qualifying passes.

It is great to have the crew back at the race track. Everyone is back together and working hard.

It is about 3:30 California time, and the car is put to bed for the night to rest up for tomorrow.

Check back with us tomorrow so we can keep you updated as the race continues.

Also- be sure to get the new Follow a Dream t-shirts for your loved ones for Christmas before they all run out.

Until then,
Jay
