Re: Live from Atco , NJ - NHRA Lucas Oil Series
 

My experience with the parking issue at the spring Lucas race was not good. No one really giving you any direction as to where to go in the dark. Basically just telling me to park anywhere I could find a spot and when I expressed my concern for where I was being told to go because I could not find anything.....I was insulted as being to picky. I tried to explain I have a dragster and not a VW Beetle! The guy was rude plain and simple.......

There were spots roped off and I did not want to take someone elses spot......MR Rude just stuck me in someones previously roped off spot and kicked their stuff out of the way.......

Joe runs a great track and is a great guy but that little episode was uncalled for......Once I had a few beers, I forgot about it and had a good race weekend.....

Appreciate any updates on the parking - was planning on coming in late tonight for a "prime spot" in the sand, but if its washed out, I'll wait until tomorrow...

Sal, thanks for the updates, while Jack was sleeping you were out there for the people, us common folk, little guy racers. Jack reports for the stars like Labrque and his posse of racers.

Sorry Jack work is slow and I need to stir it up a little.

Joe D, wouldn't you be one of those hero's too (Mr former D-1 Champ)?

The worst of the storm is to be between 4 and 8pm - when it stops i'll take a strohl out to the "dunes" and see what it looks like ..............

Bufff Daddy only on a good day. Are you coming out of retirement and joining us at Atco?

Re: Live from Atco , NJ - NHRA Lucas Oil Series
 

No problem here Joe , and by the way i've saved you a choice pit spot -- it'll be just you and the 'gators - and its a long walk to the bar ..........

Re: Live from Atco , NJ - NHRA Lucas Oil Series
 

No, not this weekend. I'm considering maybe going to the Dutch to watch. Otherwise, I'll be home until the $2K to win S/SS race at Hagerstown November 6-7.

Jack,
Keep us posted on the condition of the pits if you are still around tonight. Still deciding if coming down is a good idea.

Parking, Parking, Parking com'on racers it isn't where you park, it is where you finish ! ! !

It's Atco and it is , what it is, get there early weds or . . . take what you get. The last race I won (epping ihra national 3yrs ago) I had a spot the other side of the scale in the trap rock, I made it work ., got good at backing up from the scale.

Mother nature is not being kind today and tonight at atco and that stinks, if I show, saturday morning will be it, that way it will dry out some , , 1 time trial will have to do.

At least those of you that are there can have a soda,drink, beer at the bar tonight, wish I could join you.

Joe D , next time you visit Jack or LaBrecque and his posse , I would suggest that you watch yourself, let's just say , have your belt on tight, they have been known to "Pants" many an unsuspecting person and I believe they owe you one. and don't drop the soap either if you know what I mean.
