and someone else in to fill the field in T/F.
All sportsman fields full except TA/D, and Stock.I'm sure Stock will fill up.Not many
outside of division raiders this year.
See Jack no negativity,I'm repenting.

Ed,

Division 1 has always been a hot bed of door slammer racing even as far back as the 1960's same with the East coast in general.

I can remember driving down to Atco (in Noo Joisey) in 1964 and on any weekend and there would be 300 stocker's and super stocker's and a few gasser's.

What great memories!

Ed -- You're right about the Pro's -- I think they're trying to tell the NHRA they don't like the place after what happened last year to Scott Kalitta ......................

The sand pit and catch net have been completely upgraded.

RP management has taken the FIRST EVER loss of life at their facility very seriously.

I hope they're never needed again.I'll never forget the sight of the fireball on impact.I was under the tower with my daughter and when it happened I knew the outcome wouldn't be good.

"RP management has taken the FIRST EVER loss of life at their facility very seriously."

My statement was not correct in that the Scott Kalitta death was the first in 20 years.

Ed, it's been a while. Finally have my stocker out and beginning to get it figured out. Did well last Saturday in the ECSS/S race. (Kenny Won) Assume the economy has shrunk your racing budget. Would still like to see your face and hear your wit.
