Good morning everyone, well Jack filled you in on the numbers so I will make it short.

I took the picture of Vinny Barone's pit on the way in. He was setup early and looks like he will have all three cars running this race, not sure who is driving the roadster this race.

The other photo is the pits in the field. There are basically two place to park. Close the the track and in the back field. The back field is not bad, its still close to the staging lands, and as long as there is no heavy rain its a nice grassy place to park. They also have a stream running behind the field, its a great place for the kids to cool off and have fun.

As you can see by the arrow, Jack is hiding from me. I think he was ducking me, but I found him last night anyway.

Well I tried to make it short.

Unhappy Re: Live from Lebanon Valley-NHRA Lucas Oil Series

So far its been a long and frustrating day - besides being hot and ugly we're way behind .Halfway thru the first Stock session Steve Ficcaci Sr. laid down a trail of antifreeze while driving Anthony Bongiovanni's AA/SA Cobra Jet and that started off getting us behind .

Me - after setting the first leg of the E/SA record they let me go out for a back-up an hour ago and some unknown gremlins set in and slowed me up three tenths for no reason I can find .I've been chasing this problem for some time and really don't have a clue - if it moves - bends or electrifies I've changed it once or sometimes twice ! ! No wonder my hair is thinning and getting greyier bt the day.But I'll keep looking ..........Meanwhile I could be the best potential first round duck out there .

Right now the leakers are out on the track with the top sportsman to follow then Comp.

I see DRC has not posted any qualifying. All i can say is that it slower then the last race I was at, E-town Nat's.

The weather:
Temp 78
bar 29.35
Humid 55
DA 2400
head wind 5 to 7 mph

Jack did set the record, and was fortunate enough to run in the morning. Half the stockers including me had to wait over an hour for a oil down.

This is Jacks record setting run. I think it was a 10.82 in E, but I maybe be wrong, Jack will be back later confirm.

Were done with stock for the day, possible clean ups later. Super Stock 2nd qualifier will run after the alcohol cars, probably will be late.

I have some pictures but I will post them later.

It looks like Jack backed up the record, he also has lots a photos, but he will be tied up for a while in tear down.

Ed, you ask for stick cars, you got it. This is Ray Scardelli in his high winding 289, 97 Probe.

The other video is super Stocker in the lanes, sorry for the shakiness, I'm no Toby Lang.

Eric purchased Billy Pires' Firebird over the winter, no doubt the data base hadn't been fully updated at that point.
