Whether you race in April,May,June,July,August,Sept or Oct someone always gets to win.
There's probably a different ideal schedule for every S/SS racer in the division.Who's to say one is better than the other?
I missed this race due to lack of funds.I would have been there,just like every other year I've raced Stock,since 1999,excluding 2004,again for lack of funds.
I would have gladly put up with the heat,like I've put up with multiple rain episodes,cold,
pollen attacks (remember Atco last year?).The way things are now,It looks like I'll be
sideligned till 2012,especially after embarrassing myself at Englishtown,the only race I ran this year.

Thumbs up Re: Live from New England Dragway,Epping,NH-NHRA LucasOil Se

Gotta say that the track was EXCELLENT !
The track personell were friendly and the starting line crew really worked at keeping the hook there., and it was consistant.......150 deg track temp and I was hooked up every time!!
I did'nt mind the lenght of the trip as much as the condition of the roads, I dont know what Mass and Conn. do with the fuel taxes,but they dont appear to spend it on the highways!

Hey Tom, forgive me, but which car were you there with ? Had I known, I'd have stopped by and said "Hi".

All this track needs is a renovation like Norwalk's and I'm sure the cars & spectators will follow. As many trees that there are on the facilities, they could easily add a campground for those spectators & racers wishing to camp out. Hopefully they can get a Nat during the Fall timeframe. Just follow Bill Bader's fan friendly atmosphere plan and the owners will be all set.

The article in ND on NED said the track manager was talking to the Baders.

I came out of my motorhome at the event and in the penumbra of my motorhome, I saw .............

OK Jim, don't look it up, what is the definition of "penumbra"

I will buy you dinner at a race if you know the answer without looking it up.
