"Live From" Atco NHRA Lucas Oil Series 2012

Ken Miele · 08-03-2012, 09:08 AM

Hello everyone, sorry for the late start. Jack is swamped at work and although I was here yesterday testing my new ride, I did not get a chance to post.

The weather here is hot and humid. No rain in site, but its going to be a hot one.

Temp right now is 85 going up to 93.

We should be starting about 10 am with stock. Jack will be here late tonight and will add his thoughts when he gets here. Below is a shot of my ride for this weekend. In testing it was fun to drive, but there is a learning curve over my car. Being slow does not mean its easier, every car has its own personality.

The pits are full already and it should be a great day of racing. Be back later after my first qualifying shot.

Todd, according to 1320Go, the track sustained damage due to recent storms and lightning, and Live Timing will not be functioning for this race.

Sorry for being mia. I have had some issues to deal with and have not had the time. I will be back later with a rap up. It was very slow, temp was 97 and high humidity. the DA was around 3700 ft.

I think the reason there’s no drc posting might be no one is here from drc. So posting results will not be done until the day is over I’m guessing. I will try to get a copy of both s/ss qualifying

Please bare with me, I will be back later.

They are just finishing up with the clean ups. It looks dark out here and we might get some thunderstorms, Jack must be near. I was told that drc will be here tomorrow, so we should see some timely reports. There will be qualifying up later tonight. The qualifying you see now has some errors and I assume that will change today or tomorrow. Mike is correct there will be no live timing, the storms that came through here the other day wrecked havoc and all the computer systems.

Gary Richard has another combo out, driven by Anthony Fetch. Its 2010 CJ with a 352. I was talking to Anthony and he loves it. Its the silver CJ in the picture, its one of the original CJ's not a biw.

We are supposed to get one hit in the morning and then go into eliminations. I was told they will try to run as many rounds as they can tomorrow.

Thanks Jim, we do appreciate all you do.
