As the evening wore on, and the temperature started to plummet, pressure was mounting on the Drag Week crew to make a decision. Finally they decided to send the class cars home, with the intent of running them Saturday morning before the heads-up shootout. They asked Daily Drivers to stick around, because they desperately wanted to get the Quick 32 bracket race in the books. We loaded up and headed to Dale's house around 5:30pm or so. John and his family were going to stick around, so I told him to text me if anything developed, but both of us agreed that it looked like a lost cause!
