Sunday 

10:00am – ET and sportsman racing started early this morning around 8am. The day has started out gloomy with an overcast of thick clouds. Shortly we will run a Pro session of qualify and another round of eliminations for the Summer Celebration Pro Street class. It was a late night last night and pits are slow to get moving this morning. The turnout yesterday for grudge was astounding! Thanks to all those guys that came out to make it a great grudge event for NHDRO and Brian Welch.

11:40am – We just finished the last Pro qualifying session. And wow the track is tight today. Teammates Mark Paquette and Bod Yoder ran 6.87 and 6.91. and then we had a Pro Street racer that couldn’t get his burnout figured out and rolled up with a wet tire to the lights. Everyone expected him to skate off the line, however he hooked up and ran a 7.47. No one can complain about the track prep today, its the best it’s ever been here! You can find the last Pro qualifying session in put Youtube Playlist below. Also Tim Hailey has a live feed up again today at EatMyInk.com

3:30pm – We have completed round 1 of Pros and are currently in the sportsman eliminations. Time Sheets can be found below in the Time Sheet Gallery. In Pro Comp Keith Lynn made his final pass, unfortunately it was a loss to Chris Cutsinger and a near miss when he crossed the center line into Chris’s lane at the 1/8 mile. Keith took out a few foam blocks and was not injured.

5:31 – Round 2 of Pros have finished and we have added their videos to the playlist below. We are running sportsman classes now and Pros will be back up. We will keep updating the video playlist and then update all the final information at the end of the race.

The rest of the sportsman and Pro’s still in from the last race will complete their rounds starting in the second qualifying session today.
