Live from the Atco Doubleheader-NHRA Lucas Oil Series

[Jack Matyas]

All in all a pretty good day here at Atco -- most got as many runs as they wanted - no one can say they didn't have a chance to tune up before tomorrow's race .Speaking of tomorrow's race its to start early -- 9am sharp we'll start with SuperStreet and move thru all the eliminators with their one and only time trial and then into final eliminations -- probably by noon if things go right .

Mr.Warehime -- I too take one cream in my coffee but I like my coffee with donuts -- very fresh ones .........

WJ -- Its plenty chilly here already .............

Billy -- when you get a moment give me a shout .

I'll check in later -- "Uncle Buck" has a pork loin on the grill .................

Thanks for the up date. How fast did you go Jack.

Don't like this at all -- 6:30 and its still dark out- we all know what season is coming here in the Northeast and I for one am not looking forward to it .This morning chilly is not the word I would use - its downright cold at 46 degrees here with the high today to reach only mid-sixties .

Many were wondering why things ended early yesterday -- it happened because the NHRA officials and track management decided the track got way too cold to hold high HP cars in the grove and most thought this was a prudent move --the racers who were in the lanes waiting lost only one run at the most .

Many teams arriving this morning and with some leaving last night believe it or not there is room for them - the place is full but I've seen it much worse -- the "cluster" that was expected hasn't happened and so far it looks like we'll be OK ...........later .

Sterlin' -- my numbers yesterday were nothing to brag about ! ! !

8:50 AM- Weather update -- 55 degrees , 29.88 barometer , 274' DA -- pretty sporty out there -- they just called SuperStreet to the lanes - Stock out next ...............

We finally got finished -- just after we started Lenny Williams bombed his trans in the lights and we were down more than an hour - his explosion was so violent that Bob Bender was in the other lane and ran over some of Williams parts and blew out a rear tire but was OK .Lenny is in the middle of changing his trans as I type this .

Most racers were off .03 to .05 from yesterday .Wheelie of the round goes to Bobby Broadbent in his B/S 69 Camaro who had 'em up in the air during first , second and third gears while going straight thank God .

Mr.Wareheim-- forget the donuts as our good friend Jimmy Carter saved the day by bringing by a box of Dunkin Donuts finest ....................

SuperStock coming out soon .............
