Now with all that out of the way.....Let's make some laps!
While the chatroom is open, no news has come from the track today except to say that the anticipated schedule has already been discarded. The rain lasted well into the morning putting the anticipated schedule already over an hour behind. It is almost 1:00pm and they are getting ready to run the Tour Time Trials. All that was accomplished this morning so far was the Tour Practice. Apparently after the WMT takes time, the NEMA midgets will take the track to complete their event and then on tap will be the SK Feature.
Keep an eye on this thread for LIVE Updates throughout the day on what's happening in Stafford, or come to the chatroom and hear about it as we do!
Well, the Tour Time Trials are finally finished and the SK teams are dragging their equipment into the infield.
Fasted Tour Driver was Donny Lia, followed by Tony Hirschmann, Chuck Hossfeld and Frank Ruocco. These are all prior to redraw.
From a friend in the chatroom...

Stay tuned for the results from the SK Feature, guess they changed the tentative schedule, again!

Sounds like the first SK feature of the year was a typical one. A wreckfest with approximately only 12 cars left to take the checker. Ted Christopher and James Civali beating and banging for the lead on the last couple of laps! TC emerges victorious and Civali is resigned to a 4th place finish. Of course it didn't end there, Civali, apparently upset with TC, went after him after the checker, no fisticuffs ala' Chris Jones, Civali stayed in his car.
Mkie Holdridge and Lloyd Agor watched from their respective 2nd and 3rd positions.
SK Feature Podium Finish

Just a side note>>>>

Apparently, during the NEMA Midget feature a car rode the fence and wrecked pretty horrendously, bringing out the caution. The driver was unhurt, but with the sun going down and the temperature dropping rapidly, the crowds are leaving in droves. With only the Dare feature and the Limited Late Models left to run, and the late hour the fans patience is wearing thin. The NEMA race will resume shortly after all the cars get push started.
Then will be the new LLM division, but there are only 4 Limited Late Model Cars entered to run this feature. They may even cut the laps short as Thompson chose to do with their "new" division.
The Dare Feature will be last.
We will bring the results of these three divisions as they become available.
Remember all the results brought to you here today have been unofficial, until Nascar, SMS, and the appropriate officails deem them so!
Thnaks to everyone who came into the chatroom today and shared enthusiasm, excitement and the love of racing. Thats why we have these chats! It's all about the racing... Couldn't have done it with out all your support, and a special thanks to Peewee who kept us up to date from the WMT!
The Chatroom is now closed, Thanks again everyone!
