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

Michael,it wasn't a sunny day at all.The sun came out sporadically and the wind was constant for quite some time.When I finally left at about 2 PM it was dead cloudy and the wind calmed down a bit.The weather plain sucked and was not conducive to allowing
high HP cars,whether hitting the starting line or throttle stopping down track,getting good bite.
Someone made a point about the super categories expecting to hit that surface with 800+ hp and hooking up.I was also told,by someone who's opinion I fully respect,that
some of the recent rash of crashes are due in part to parts failure,due to a lack of
preventive maintenance.
I totally agreed with the decision to postpone the event before any more incidents happened.By condolences go out to the three racers who had mishaps during the weekend.
