MRS cars are lined up and ready to come out on the track for their heat races.
The track Late Models are on the track now for their heat race competition.
When they are done the MRS cars will roll out on the track.

As the Jack Bateman came out of the track in his #17 car, fluid came out from the back of his car all over the first turn of the track. Bateman has headed into the pits to retify the problem.
So the rest of the cars for the first MRS heat race are now on the track minus Jack Bateman as the track crew spreads speedy dry on the track for the fluid that Bateman's car has dropped.

Cars are doing hot laps to get some heat in the tires. Looks like the first heat race will start without Jack Bateman. The #17 car of Bateman is still beiong worked on in the pits.
Going green the next time around.

Lap- 6 - Jimmy Dolan, Todd Annarummo, Louie Mechalides, Max Zachem, Jeff Malave, Less Hickley
Lap 7 Caution - Andy Seuss comes into contact with the first turn wall and his car has come to rest against the wall just after turn one. It appears that the #97 car of Ken Vogel came up and hit Seuss sending him into the wall. The #70 car of Seuss is being towed into the pits.
Green Flag
Lap 8 - Joe Doucette spins and goes into the wall right where Andy Seuss was just towed from. After the incident, cars bunch up as they race hard into turn two. Les Hinckley goes over Jeff Malave's right side wheels (I believe). Hinckley was able to drive away but Malave's car will be towed. Also being towed off of the track is the #55 car of Joe Doucette.
Cars are doubling up and we will go green the next time around

So there were six cars each that qualified from the first three heat races. There will be two cars from each consi race. Then there will be two provisional spots.
The MRS Consi races will be the second consi event following the Street Stock Consi race.
When I walked through the pits the crew of the #06 car was working on the right front of the car . The damage looked like a lot of bolt on parts.
It also appears that all of the cars scheduled to come out for the MRS consi races will have their cars ready to compete.
So I will be back with the consi races soon.
The MRS cars are lined up on pit road ready to come out for the first consi race.
Street Stocks are on the track for their one consi race at the current time.
The MRS mods that are in the first Consi race are pulling out on the track
