Both NHRA.TV and YouTube feeds are frozen/blank. Are they done for the day? Weather looks good.

Believe they pulled the plug at 5:00 because the round track was scheduled to start then.

Re: Live from Lebanon Valley,NY NHRA Lucas Oil Series
Around 3:30 there was a serious pit accident involving a SG car. The incident tied up the rescue personnel which ended the racing for the day. Top dragster and Top Sportsman didn’t get their last Q session completed. Good news was the driver was banged up but not seriously injured. Tomorrow looks a bit iffy, but hopefully the rain holds off long enough to get most of the event completed. Todays weather was about as good as it gets. Mid 70’s, low humidity and a light head wind. Very unusual for L.V. Many racers were headed to the speedway, a big dirt show was on the schedule and if you had a wrist band for the drags it was only $5. Great turnout with around 65 SS and 89 stockers.

[QUOTE=Gmirza;662984Great turnout with around 65 SS and 89 stockers.[/QUOTE]
While 49 SS and 89 stockers may be a good number, there were 57 SS and 100 stockers in 2021. This is over a 10% decline. It gets worse if we look at pre covid numbers, there were 61 SS and 111 in stock in 2019. That represents a 20% reduction from 2019 to 2022. The forecast was not great but the impact of inflation (especially diesel prices), and parts availability has really taken its toll on our sport.

Always check your dial in before staging. Third round Mike Farrell against Billy Pires. They had Billy dialed 10.38 in his J/SA. Probably 12.38 would have been correct. I bet you Mike noticed it.

the race went down that way. Hard Lesson To Learn, but as we all know, you can’t take the dial in on the scoreboard for granted.
