[Returning to Dirt]

@SpencerSolomon doing all the work. I'm just cutting and pasting.

[Returning to Dirt]

John Mason with a new track record at 15.209

[Returning to Dirt]

@SpencerSolomon There's no need to post everytime a track record is broken. Going to happen a lot. Someone may break in the 14 second bracket.


I take the track is a bit tackier than on Wed.

[Returning to Dirt]

They are pretty much flat footing it around this joint. Madden on track now.

Madden turns a 15.027. Wow. All I can say. Shear speed.

[Returning to Dirt]

Jimmy Owens just turned a 14.968 #holycrap

[Returning to Dirt]

@EldoraSpeedway Jimmy Owens just turned the first ever 14 second lap by a Late Model at Eldora Speedway - new track record of 14.968!

[Returning to Dirt]

@SpencerSolomon Scott Bloomquist with a 15.356

[Returning to Dirt]

Steve Shaver with a 15.274. 6th quick overall.

[Returning to Dirt]

Currently: 1. Owens 2. Madden 3. Davenport

[Returning to Dirt]

From @DustinJarrett

About 1/2way thru round 1, top 5 are JImmy Owens, Chris Madden, Jonathan Davenport, Duane Chamberlain, John Mason...all have broken old TR

[Returning to Dirt]

From @SpencerSolomon

@ChipBrindle out of line in qualifying. He'll get no time in 1st round

[Returning to Dirt]

@SpencerSolomon

It appears Chris Wall is done for the weekend as well. Burnt a piston in hot laps and they aren't changing motors.

[Returning to Dirt]

Billy Moyer with a 15.6

[Returning to Dirt]

@SpencerSolomon

About halfway through qualifying. http://t.co/0MEcySA

[Returning to Dirt]

@SpencerSolomon

Lightning is back again. They need to get all the first round done for it to actually count. Maybe 25 to go.

[Returning to Dirt]

@SpencerSolomon

Doesn't look good. http://t.co/LqOkFTk

[Returning to Dirt]

@SpencerSolomon

Everyone is in hurry up mode. Top 5 will probably stay same. One big hitter left and its Chub Frank.

[Returning to Dirt]

@SpencerSolomon

Round 1 done in 39 minutes. Top 5: 1. Owens 2. Madden 3. Davenport 4. Chamberlin 5. Mason

[Returning to Dirt]

Round 2 beginning with Will Vaught.

[Returning to Dirt]

Steve Shaver turns a 15.146. Moves him to 4th quick overall.

[Returning to Dirt]

It's going to have to be an insane lap to crack the top 5 in round 2 I think.

[Returning to Dirt]

@SpencerSolomon

Chris Brown turns that insane lap and is 5th on the board overall.

[Returning to Dirt]

@SpencerSolomon

It appears the rain will go around us. Skies looking clearer.

[Returning to Dirt]

Josh Richards turns 15.062 and bumps up to 3rd overall.

[Returning to Dirt]

And it starts to pour as Steve Francis finishes his lap. Raining pretty hard. If 2nd round isn't completed, then it won't count.

[Returning to Dirt]

@SpencerSolomon

Still raining but sun is trying to shine. Feels like I'm still in east TN. I think it may be over. No official word yet.

[Returning to Dirt]

@SpencerSolomon

All round 2 times washed out. If they decide to finish, they'll have to start round 2 all over. Round 1 is official.

[Returning to Dirt]

Looks like rain may be finishing. Just barely sprinkling now. Everything is pretty wet however. Will take awhile before we start back.

[Returning to Dirt]

@EldoraSpeedway

Before the rains hit, 23 of the 52 drivers to take a round 2 time, had bettered their first round time.

[Returning to Dirt]

@SpencerSolomon

Things are looking good here @EldoraSpeedway. Pack trucks are on the track. Going to try and start round 2 over again.

[fanof25]

anybody with a full run down of round 1?

[Returning to Dirt]

@SpencerSolomon

http://t.co/33k4VGn


Based on that pic I'd say the track might be even faster if they are able to get back out.

[Returning to Dirt]

anybody with a full run down of round 1?

I haven't come across one.

[Returning to Dirt]

@SpencerSolomon

Starting to sprinkle again. Not good.

Great. Thanks

[Returning to Dirt]

Nobody has posted anything in a while. I assume that means they are still working the track because someone surely would have posted if they had called it.

[Returning to Dirt]

@SpencerSolomon

Bub blew motor in hot laps for the 2nd round of qualifying. He is done for the weekend.
