The cars started arriving yesterday, quite a lot of hoopla and excitement filled the air. Qualifying was done this afternoon under sunny skies and cool temperatures.
Most of the cars ran very well, only a few had chatter in the turns resulting in slower Q Times. Some cars were under motored for the longer straights here at Cornerstone.
Fun group of cars to run, very nice detailing!
Weather permitting, the race will take place next Saturday the 25th. Hopefully there will be pictures to post as well.

Interesting observation, cars #149, 20, 23, 4, 44b, 54 & 77 all had a copper glaze on their wheels, BEFORE they arrived here! After I checked the first car that was driving like it was on ice, all the tires were checked and cleaned if necessary. The #49 was the first to exhibit the ice skating, I cleaned the tires after the 2nd lap and performance was greatly improved.
