Live from Cecil County,MD NHRA Lucas Oil Series

Good morning and welcome to the Division 1 season opener .Today will be test n tune starting at 1pm. Coming in yesterday was a eye opener for sure - grass looks super and many of the divots in the pit areas are gone - that plus they must have spent many,many
hours marking the pit spots - if you're on your neighbors space there will be no doubt about it .

As for the track - it's super and tight as yesterday there was a private rental and not one car spun - even the six and seven second cars .

All that plus this reporter watched many new pieces of track equipment being used - 2023 must have had a large budget increase for new equipment for sure .

Later .........

Jim Halsey has really worked hard to make Cecil top notch and it shows big time. His starting line is Awesome.

Good morning gang - Welcome to day 1 of the D1 season .Yesterday during the T nT it was sunny with temps in the mid eighties and very little humidity . Downside was the unusual for here was the 29.5o barometer.Track was like i've not seen it ever before - mostly because about every 30 minutes or so during the TnT they stopped and sent out the new machinery and then sprayed .Can't remember a day when I've witnessed so many giant wheelies - hope today is the same .

Today at 9 they will send out Super/street followed by Stock - today weather wise looks like a carbon copy of yesterday -Summer arrived early here in Maryland!!!!!!

I'll check in after rd1 of Stock ........
