Live from Epping,NH - NHRA Lucas Oil Series
 

Hi gang- first things first - normally at this time of year we'd be talking about who is leading division points but this year things are not normal as we have only completed two events and its already the end of August .

Next thing is here at Epping things have changed already -test and tune has been cancelled because of rain ( there I go with that four letter word already ) and tomorrow we will have two Q passes weather permitting and Saturday morning we will go right into round one first thing.

And it wouldn't be a trip to New England without some drama - while pulling in this morning our Division Director pointed out I was dripping water from my coach bottom .So after parking I realize there is no water in my tanks because of a hose that popped off - seems I left a trail of water from PA to NH ....


More later.....

Hi Jack welcome to Murphy law

At 10pm tonight it was still raining on and off. Radar showed more rain tonight, hopefully stopping by 1 or 2am. The pits where I parked is standing water and mud. Hoping the Sun comes out tomorrow and dries it out. Looks like a good turn with very little available parking.

Duane,
Have fun up there this weekend. I raced New England Dragway a lot while stationed in Brunswick, Me. with the Navy in the 80's and 90's.

I have won a total of 2 races in all my years of trying. the first was at Jax Raceways in Jacksonville, Fl. in April of 1982 and the second was at New England Dragway in May of 1982. Yes it was that long ago. Never won anything, anywhere since but not for a lack of trying, LOL!

Good Luck.

Ray

Good morning-In less that an hour we'll be starting off with the juniors followed by Stock .Today will be another hot and humid deal and dialing this am could be tricky.

Last evening we ran until almost nine ensuring everyone got their two shots at the track thanks to the hard work of the D1 crew.

Today we will race until completion as tomorrow will be a washout for sure .

Most racers will surely pack up and leave as soon as they lose (or win ) as everyone knows the huge storm is coming up the East Coast .Even the National Guard has been called out to help with the flooding that is expected Sunday and Monday .
