Yesterday, the racing action was postponed due to weather after UARA qualified and half the Allison Legacy cars made their way around the track during their session.   Today, we should pick up with Allison Legacy qualifying, then Pro Challenge qualifying, followed by the racing action.

This morning, it hasn't been much better weather wise.   A persistant mist has been hitting the ground in the Concord area.   Just about 11:15am, it appeared to have stopped, but the grounds are severely wet.   Track drying though has started at 11:32 am, so we are hoping to get the track dry and start some racing action within a few hours.

The schedule told to us at the end of yesterday showed pit gates opening at 10am, grandstands at 12pm and racing at 2pm.   We assumed that meant qualifying was going to happen around noon, but that will not happen as the track is quite wet.

There were only about five track trucks on the track last night trying to dry the track, but today, the racers have gotten into the spirit to help dry the facility.   There are currently 19 vehicles circulating around the track trying to get it dry.
