Friday afternoon update...

The U-6 Oh Boy! Oberto Beef Jerky opted to remain in the pits during this afternoon's second qualification session.  It's this webmaster's opinion that Art "Oh Boy!" Oberto's party was so much fun that they had to let the speeds stand.

Miss Madison in the pits...

George Woods, Jr. was spotted talking with U-5 pilot George Stratton.  George was here to help celebrate the U-6's 25th Anniversary.  Art "Oh Boy!" Oberto is bringing some of his former drivers to the races for a barbeque in the Stan Sayres pit row area.  Drivers included former Seafair winner, George Woods Jr., Bill Wurster and Steve LaCava, just to name a few.

Friday morning update...

The U-6 Oh Boy! Oberto Beef Jerky pulled into the pits yesterday afternoon and is set on on the inside side of the Stan Sayres pits.  This morning Nate Brown took the U-6 out during the first qualifying period and turned speeds of 141.989 and 143.178.  This followed some early activity during the morning test session.
