ROCKINGHAM, N.C. - 9:30 a.m. According to the schedule, we should be in the first round of Stock Eliminator qualifying about now. However, once again the IHRA tour has succeeded in breaking a long drought and the only things moving on the track are the tractors and blowers.

Track drying has been under way for about an hour and will take at least another hour, more likely two.

Once the track is dry, Sportsman qualifying will kick off the weekend, starting with Hot Rod and ending with the first time trial session for the eight Summit Super Series finalists in the Box and No Box categories. If time permits, they will all get two sessions today.

The Professional warriors are schedule to kick off their qualifying at 6 p.m. and there should be a couple of Nostalgia Funny Cars somewhere during the evening's activities.
