Great report Marty. I thought I would spice it up a little.

Chevy dominated again today with the top qualifiers Camaros. The 302 has proven to be the power plant to have again.

Matt was able to overcome the 6 car invert for the full ten car field main with a clean charge to the front and a cruise to the victory.

Brian’s car looked good on the track, but lacked the latest high-flow heads from Chevrolet and was down on horse power.

I'm expecting good things today." Lap times agreed with Doc posting the event fast lap of 13.629 sec.
