By Larry Sullivan

HEBRON, Ohio - Saturday, 6:00 PM -- The rain has stopped and track drying is going well, but we are still about an hour away from being able to send cars down the track.

When racing resumes, the first order of business will be to complete the first round of eliminations in Competition Eliminator. Next will be to run the final qualifying sessions for Pro Stock Bike, Pro Stock, Top Fuel, and Funny Car. Then, weather permitting, Sportsman eliminations "until the cows come home."

Realistically, we will be lucky to finish the Professional sessions before dew makes the track too slippery for racing.
