Re: Live from Atco , NJ - NHRA National Open
Well its late and after a hectic day I can finally gather my thoughts -- first , for those of you who are thinking we have mineshaft conditions here at Atco get rid of those thoughts .Today the track had teeth after they worked on it but the weather was anything but fantastic- all afternoon it was chilly and very damp .Those who went fast earned it the old fashioned way -- working hard on their combos .As the pic will show Mr.Oakes gave new meaning to "chillin" .
As you'll see from the early morning photo I took on the highway this morning it was not a nice drive over -- at one point visibility was nil at best . If you're thinking about coming over -- just do it - plenty of parking left . Gas and Diesel prices as you'll see are reasonable ( I can't believe I'm saying that ) on Route 73 near Berlin . Time to jump in my jamies and catch a nap .........later .

Re: Live from Atco , NJ - NHRA National Open

Why is a 1 under getting the attention in SS/BA when the GT/HA went 1.3 under, is the 9.75 a misprint.

I wish we had those kind of fuel prices here in SOCAL, we have a Valero brand gas station just off the 5 Fwy at Rosecrans with diesel at $4.99.gal..total rip off............

Re: Live from Atco , NJ - NHRA National Open
Good morning - In a few hours we'll start this event officially and for many in the Northeast this is their first race of the season .First off , I'm glad to see records are still important to some of the readers and this morning they will pickup were they left off - not many events offer two day record attempts .Racers (who set a record yesterday ) have the choice of bettering that record or going thru the teardown process this morning . One who won't be here is Dave Ficcaci ( B/SA )who left last evening so he could be back at his job this morning and his father Steve will be subbing for him in the barn .
Those of you wondering about my reporting of Joe Garbarines' record --- its correct and its GT/HA . As for the combo I can only tell you its a 305 and the minimum weight was 2941.I can't swear to it but its believed to be a Fuel Injected engine .Kudos Joe - 9.75 ! ! ! This morning its again dreary and damp feeling with plenty of fog showing - hopefully it'll burn off some . ClassRacer will be covering for you and the Nikon will be clicking ........Later .

Thanks Jack for taking your time to keep us informed. Unfortunely I have a wedding to attend this week-end, so won't be taking pictures in Atlanta, but planning on being in Jackson on the 19th. Will definitely be using my phone for updates on saturday and tonight.
