"Live From" Numidia Dragway LODRS

[Ken Miele]

Hello all, we are at Numidia Dragway this week. For some that have not been here, its located east central Pennsylvania. Its over a 1000 feet above sea level, so its not the fastest track, but its very scenic and has a great view of the top end for spectating.

This is our 2nd year after many years of not having a division race here. Its a great facility run by the DiMino family. Talk to any of the locals and they will tell you its a great place to race.

Its only Wednesday, but there are about 70 rigs here. There will be a test and tune tomorrow, and the weather looks great for this race. Mid 70's during the day with cool nights in the upper 50's. A few photos of the early arrivals along with a shot of the top end.

According to this it's 951' https://airdensityonline.com/track-r...midia_Dragway/ but I'm wondering if anyone has an accurate measurement showing higher.

Paul,
I can say that the times I’ve been up there for a few .90 races that on a hot day the AA is above 4,000 feet and wind is almost non existent unless a storm comes through and when the mountains on the top end disappear, you got about 10 minutes to get your stuff packed up. In all honesty, one of my favorite tracks. It’s just has a calming effect on you being in the mountains and it’s such and awesome view at the top end to watch cars go down the track. See you all later today!

Yup! From what I'm hearing, Pappy might just put in a surprise appearance on Saturday.

Hey guys, just a heads up on the test and tune today, it starts at noon and ends a 7pm. A few more shots of the cars in the pit. Hey check out the division 7 car, Mike Graham in his 2000 Mustang Super Stock, now that's one heck of a tow for a division race.

This is a great track. I won the points race here in 1997

Good morning all, start time should be at 9am. I few more shots from yesterday. The first 3 shots are of Tom Russell in Gary Russell's '67 A/S Camaro. I was talking to Tom for a bit, this car has so much history, and it has the original paint. A purple color I never saw before and it has the original top also. Gary bought it in 68 I believe, such a cool car.

About the accident in the staging lanes, from talking to a few people, the driver thought it was in neutral when he hit the throttle. It not only hit James Daniels's car it drove Daniel's car into the car in front of him. Daniel's car also had significant damage. I don't know the name of the driver, I'm sure someone will let us know. No one was hurt, and it shows you how dangerous the pits and staging lanes can be at times.
