Live from Atco , NJ - NHRA Lucas Oil Series
Hi gang - One thing you can take to the bank this weekend is that you'll get the very best in pit reporting ,Why you ask - here it is - the boss is pitted 50' from me and will be watching me like a hawk .....no naps , no picnics , never mind going rounds - just great reporting - period - no excuses .
Now on with our regular deal - I've got to start out with some four letter words we all hate - you'll remember them - "rain" and "rush" hour traffic -- truly ugly this morning for sure . They are trying to dry the track as I type this and I'm told we could start test n tune in a hour or so ........we'll see . Tech is open for business ..........

Re: Live from Atco , NJ - NHRA Lucas Oil Series
Jack is taking advantage of the test and tune today so here are few picks of the latest DP's. Joe Garbarine's blue and yellow V10 and David Barton in a 6.1 DP. David will be running the DP in ss this weekend, and the Coronet in stock. Not sure what class the DP was in for stock, but he went 9.76 and Joe went 9.53 in AA trim at todays test session.
Don't ask what Jack is doing with a roll of tape and a flash light, he was under the car for a bit, but I was afraid to ask what he was doing. The video's are not Toby Lang quality, as I shot them from my cell through a fence. I though it was worth posting anyway. .... |
