Qualifying begins today with one session late this afternoon. They change it up somewhat for the "Big Go". Five sessions are scheduled and eliminations are not held until Monday... The entry list has all the "big" names and it also marks the return of the Ford Mustangs with their new 2010 bodies. Still on the old motor but that is also coming. I saw a picture of their new "Hemi" head and they have done an excellent job copying the Mopar head. Thanks to Larry Morgan.. I'm sure he is giving up all the secrets he knows. But the way he has ran for the last couple of years maybe he doesn't know that much!!
