Live from Atco , NJ - NHRA National Open

Jack Matyas · 05-03-2012, 04:44 PM

Hi gang -- here we are back at Atco and no one is disapointed - the performance here last weekend for the East Coast Stock - SuperStock race was just fab and today is no different .

First off today was to be Test nTune but the NHRA allowed it to be Record runs .

Already set - Dave Ficcaci in his Ficcaci Racing Engines '69 Camaro B/SA went 10.08 .

Brian Oakes went 8.92 in SS/BA to set the first leg of his record and will attempt a back-up soon .

Here's the killer - Joe Garbarine in his brightly painted Cavalier went 9.75 @ 139 in GT/HA to set his record .

All of these are pending teardown .

More later as I'm a little busy today .............

Nice job Brian......

We spent better than half a day yesterday with Brian.....
We (mostly Matt Schurman) Installed a new Onan diesel generator in his hauler......He did say his goal for today was to set the record in B......I had no doubt he would if the weather was decent......Overcast all day with high humidity.....but apprently still pretty fast down at Atco.....

That Camaro was bad fast when John Armstrong had it. Nice to see it hasn't missed a step. Congrats to all on their records.

Greg - Because this is an NHRA National Open there are not official quailifing sheets - but they do keep track .... and being the NHRA "shill" that I'm told I am maybe I can get my hands on them for our readers .

Congrats to all with those killer numbers...If i recall Mr. Oakes` Camaro went 8.89 at the Dutch in 2004 or so. Great job all on the reporting.
