Live from Englishtown - NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series

[Bob Don]

Hi Jack. I made it from Mass. in about 4 and 1/2 hrs. Going through NYC wasn't bad at all. I am pitted next to Vic Guillmino. Billy Nees is coming down tomorrow. Doug Blackley (also from Mass.) is across the way from me. I also said hi to Dave Ley, Ed Fernandez, and Ken Kopecky. See you tomorrow. - Bob

Bob -- I'm surprised that you and Blackley came from Mass and skipped the Epping race ........but then that's why Division One is number 1 .

Talk about a beautiful morning -- this is it ! ! ! Sunny w/ blue skies and a slight breeze -- 68 degrees w/ 49 % humidity and burning off and a barometer of 29.73 gives a final DA of just over 1400 ' -- not bad -- not bad at all .

Tech is open and my "ride" is due here any moment ( towing only - no starting of engines until 10am today ) .

Attention in the pits -- anyone that Billy Leber owes money to now is the time to collect - after a Class Win at Indy and going a few rounds Billy came into a nice windfall - that's right moolah -- as in cash -- longtime GF Cheryl signed him up for a bunch of DRAW tickets and just when things were looking bleak after losing the nice DRAW folks came around to let him know he won the 50/50 deal for big money -- 3500 clams was his end - so when they come around the next time to sell you some don't be bashful -- buy a bunch as the next winner could be you .

Lastly - pictured below is Ken Meile - its a speed secret -- changing brake pads .

Does anyone else have a problem with not being able to view the attached pictures? Both at work and at home I am not able to see these thumbs? Any help would be appreciated.

Can't see Jack's, and some of Kenny's when he posts but all of Tom S. beautiful work was viewable. I'm guessing it is because we have the old Flash Player installed here on these machines, some of my suppliers sites don't display correctly either.

Same here, but I just updated my Flash player a couple days ago, no help, and I doubt the site is using Flash to display them anyway. The problem with the disappearing pictures started for me a couple weeks ago, about the same time as some of the posts started coming up out of order.

Sheehan's pics are posted a different way, using direct links to an external site, rather than the attachment manager provided by the forum software.

Micheal,

The posts jumping out of order surprised me too. At first I thought it was an undocumented feature I accidentally accessed like in Microsoft Windows crashing...

Ken's speed secret is out....better traction and less drag from the extra weight of his frictionless rear pads.......

A great day for you all to enjoy and build great memories.

Thanks for sharing with us Jack.

Have a safe race
