Well MMW Indy 2012 has started...and then stopped. Started to rain a short bit ago, only got through 1/2 or so of first set of time trials and a light rain set in.

As always great facility and cars down the track were flying right through the order. Car count seems very good, and people are still pulling in. I believe I heard 70 plus in NSS.

I'll post some pics and results as the day goes, hopefully. Stop by if your around.

Rain spit and spattered nearly all day. After the first episode in the morning cars were back on track and unfortunately a large wheelstand led to some oil pan injury and subsequently and track long oil down.

That accompanied with the rain allowed for a few more street cars to get done, but no gamblers race.

Heres some pics from today. Rest of the weekend forecast is looking better.

VernMotor has some great ones on his post as well. Early day tomorrow, and hopefully my trailer isnt buried in the mud..

Do the X10.5 guys run tomorrow and Sunday, or just tomorrow. Thanks.

Absolute beautiful day. Kinda wet this morning, pix later. Suns out, tail wind and track crew going through people pretty good.

This morning there were 4 lanes full of pro all the way back.

Beautiful day.

cluster f is all i can say about today,the guy in 10.0 that oiled the whole track yesterday did the same today.major wheel stand slam down out of shape let out get it straight and trail oil right down the center of the lane.i ran first round in the free no box race at 3:38 pm at around 10 pm they told us to packit up.so while they are trying to pair first round of 10.5 they change the ladder after the staging guy has most of them paired already,then this blonde headed guy comes to the directer and asked who he is paired with now,and when he finds out he's paired with his buddy he says we sponser this class there is no way we race first round.i didn't know that if you sponser somthing you have it your way,but i guess he does.hope things go better tommorow.

Heres some more pics from the day. Definitely sucked with the amount of breakage that happened today. I dont think I've been at an event with more oil downs to be honest. Sucks.

The water has dried up quite nice. 10.5 cars were fun to watch.
