Arrived at Red Roof inn tonight. All fed and watered and looking forward to this weekend.
Got caught up in the thunder storm that Dan mentioned about at around 4.15pm this arvo. Traffic was down to 40mph with a lot stopped as well.

Anyway some shots of cars in the car park this evening.
Yes Steve, that's a morrie, 350 +.060 with 6-71, sounds UNBELIEVABLE.

Round 1 of time trials.

 

[jim_ss409]

Wow!!! It looks like the 348/409 crew is really putting on a show!!!
Thanks for giving us an update.

 

[de31168]

They didn't show them today that I see yet, but I would think tomorrow and Saturday they will be included in the D3TV live stream on youtube.

The actual length is over 8 hours, but it seems to have been edited to 4. Maybe after it process, the full day will show. Sounds like one of the Geezer Gassers had a crash or fire.

Nostalgia Super Stock is at the 2:29:00 mark. Sounds like 409 Eliminator was called to the lanes prior to the Geezer Gassers. Not sure what all went down. Hope all is well.

The Thursday link has now been updated to include the full day. 409 cars around the 2 hour 30 something mark.

Here is the link to today which will begin shortly. That's right, it's live! The next best thing to being there! And its free from the comfort of your living room, or work computer in my case.. haha. Enjoy.

 

[de31168]

The boys and girls were just on track putting on a show! Rob Walden gets the prehistoric rat to an 8.90 150mph. Dick gets a 10.003. Brian with a very consistent 9.60!
