Live from the lobster nationals .90 style

Well I got here around 6:30 about a 10 hour drive. The north east roads don’t seem to get any better. It’s amazing they can afford to put up a sign that says bump instead of just repairing the issue. Anyway, before I left, the weather looked great all week with a day or two near 90 and sunshine. What happened in that 10 1/2 hour drive I have no clue about an hour before I got here. The wife sent me a text with the withdrawal notice.
It looks like we’re gonna have a nasty week but who knows for sure this should be interesting parking is today which should start soon. I am number 95 in line so it’ll be a while for me. A very nice day today to start things off with.

Pending weather??.. you mean that NHRA believes that there may be inclement conditions at the Next Heavy Rain Area??.. who woulda thunk it.. at least there are some great eateries in the area..

Did your Alfa come with a convertible top, Keith??.. GOOD LUCK, and be safe..

I forgot to Mention the cold temperatures highs in the 50’s coming up. Should be interesting to say the least. Sold the top. Maybe a nice umbrella would come in handy

Good morning everyone it’s starting off as a beautiful day. Albeit a little hot I believe it’s into the 80s already with humidity being a factor. runs today will mean much of nothing come tomorrow’s weather. Start time approximately 920.

We got our first time run in. I was happy with a 10.899 pass very warm out there this morning. Most have had at least one pass. now they’re into the pros.we’re supposed to get our next pass after the pros. rain is coming so we shall see.
Wasn’t able to get any pictures been pretty busy. It seems that I am in another attention in the pits with the new car. Be glad when it comes out so you guys can really get a good look at it, it’s definitely cool.

I believe the white dodge they show on here ended up deep into the sandtrap 1st time run. No idea on reasons or results

Good morning, not so good here, it rained all night. The grounds are pretty wet and looks damp and rainy today and basically for the next four or five days. doom and gloom,doom and gloom, we will just wait and see. hopefully there will be breaks and we can get some racing in.

As a side note we went out to get some supplies yesterday and noticed a few stores were actually closed. We found an open store, went inside and noticed a couple independent stores within it were closed. This was just before 8 o’clock, so I asked the lady why these places were closed? simple reply. We can’t get anyone to work! how unfortunate, I sure hope that we aren’t still paying all our tax dollars to keep people on unemployment insurance. there Has to be people to fill these jobs. This is just unbelievable.

Well I tried to get out and walk around a little bit while it wasn’t raining. I have to show you guys this picture because I’m still chuckling over it. This guy definitely has a good sense of humor.

Made it through rnd 1. They ran s/st stock and s/c Lots of aborted runs. Rains then done for the day. As I understand they have till Wednesday to complete. Not looking good till Tuesday.

This whole Nu Ingland deal is not looking good, and for most, they'll have to re-stock the fridge in the RV, and head to Lebanon Valley to park on Thursday..

A lot of big hills going across Rte 90.. glad it's not me.. spectating from Doity Joisey ain't that bad..

Well, today is Sunday morning and more of the same cold, windy, damp and drizzle. Guess we’ll see if anything happens today. Pros are scheduled at 10 and we have no idea what any of the other schedule is.

Re: Live from the lobster nationals .90 style
 
HEY KEITH!!.. ask those NHRA guys, since you're experiencing more down time.. if I enter a short FC field with my car, would I get qualifying money??.. if so, I might go to NED...

And I did like the photo of that 23 T, black with yellow flames.. SC here I come..

I'm figurin' that y'all might as well stay in freakin' Nu Ingland, and stick it out.. makes no sense to drive all the way home, only to drive back north to Lebanon Valley..

Well, I am at Lebanon Valley now was in a hurry to pack up and get out of there. They canceled the race until the divisional in August where we will run both. I did get best engineering. That was a great surprise and like I said earlier, Joe did another attention in the pits with the new car so that will be seen in the next few months.

And Charlie, you could do that as long as everything passed the safety equipment and certifications for top fuel or funny car

Congrats on the Best Engineered! How does the Van Halen sound in that thing? Does everyone get to hear it?
