No lexan windowed, gutted shell race car with bogus motors. Kind of refreshing to see that car. I guess if the PT Cruiser were still being made, Lord only knows what sort of "Drag Pak" bundle they would have come up with. Maybe a V-10, Two speed auto, 4 - wheel line lock, rear wheel conversion. Someone would do it up with rat rod satin paint with Moon discs and flames. Probably a B car The V-10 would be rated 275 hp due to "restrictive" exhaust manifolds. Yeah, that's the ticket. |

It's pretty amazing that the car counts at Epping and Hebron and Sonoma are greater than the National at Denver. Makes you wonder about how you are treated at a National NHRA event. I'll be in Jackson, SC tomorrow and how to have at least as many cars to watch in S/SS as they have in Denver. Got to take a cooler of Gatorade and Water.

OK - a few more..............The last three photos are of the display from the ASRA -they are celebrating thirty years of All-Stars racing - if you're here stop by for a free water and check it out -at the rear of Marc LaBrecques' pit near the staging lanes - thanks to Greg Barsamain for making the display.

And then there was last night - took a ride with my longtime friend Bill Shurla to Seabrook, NH to meet another friend -well maybe not a friend but .......we were only friends a short time before he disapeared - who is he? He's the guest of honor in these photos .....And a local from nearby Maine......As Sammy Murray would say - "the lobsta" ........I had "chowda" along with him ..........Mmmmmmmmm - talk about sweet meat - this was it .After being in "Hell" all day yesterday - this was my reward "Heaven" for sure ..........Kenny will surely not like my expense report now .....its killer ! ! !

Re: Live from New England Dragway,Epping,NH-NHRA LucasOil Se
And now for some of why we're here this weekend - racing to start at 9am this morning with Stock going out first for their last qualifer but I don't think that will happen - at least on time as I'll say that four letter word you haven't heard much from me this season - thats right - rain at this moment - its overcast and coming down enough to rain on our parade as they say ........I'll keep you up to date .

Local weather report says it will be moving out around 8 or 9, Then here comes the sun again and high around 95 with the humidity back.
Tomorrow high about 86 and drier air. I'll be there spectating. Usually around the area of Elroy Dame (red 69 Road Runner C/SA). I hope to meet some of the guys from this site. Phil Daly aka Chevellewagon |

Re: Live from New England Dragway,Epping,NH-NHRA LucasOil Se
Well it was a great day 1. The cars ran well despite the high heat(I thought). There was enough of a breeze that my 8 year old son and I survived a day in the grandstands. I had a highlight video put together from yesterday, but after fighting with the hotels wi-fi until 12:30 this morning, I lost. Won't get home until tomorrow morning and will start posting some video for everyone to enjoy. Nice to FINALLY meet you Jack. Good luck to all the racers today.
