"Live From" Atco Dragway - NHRA Lucas Oil Series

Ken Miele · 08-05-2016, 08:21 AM

Good morning all, here are few more photos from yesterday. Start time is 9:30 today and the weather looks great. The current numbers are....
Temp 75
Humid 63%
Bar 29.90
DA 1830
Wind light cross

Temps are going up to the mid 80's, but for this time of years that's not bad. Be back later with more photos and info.

Good morning members and guests - I'm finally connected but for how long is anyone's guess .Yesterdays test n tune was very short on cars - mostly because is was hot and humid and the track for some was a challenge - high horsepower cars on a 9" tire didn't work out as the track temps were in the 130 degree range .

Today is another story as the outside is in the high seventies and sunny but will climb as the day wears on .Time trials are to start @ 9:30 .Tech is open .And did I mention the joint is packed - as in full to the scales with cars still arriving .

As Ken mentioned yesterday Todd Hoven got the call to drive the Carp Construction Hemi Challenger and is taking to it like a duck to water - that eight second piece is a handful compared to his Firebird and he's making the Ray Barton crew happy with his driving skills .Good luck Todd...

So far both Stock and S/S have had two qualifiers - will try and keep sheets up to date .The track today has been so-so --- the Sun really hurts hooking but the last hour it's been cloudy and things are a little better .

We're way behind this afternoon - two crashes - one with a SuperStreet that lost a trans and got into his own oil and the other was a SuperGas that blew an engine past the 1000' mark and again got into his own oil .Good news is both drivers are OK but we lost hours to cleanup .

Cleanups will happen if we ever get caught up .

Qualifying sheet for stock, I will back with the Super Stock sheet in a bit.
