I believe the gates open at 8 am and its usually after 9 before the first cars go down the track.They usually stop the time trials between 3-4 pm and pair off the cars which takes an hour or so.Last year things really drug and they got a real late start.
This will be my 5th year to watch and its a blast.Maybe we wont freeze to death this year.Forecast is for 70 and no rain.Go Buicks!
