Wink Re: Live fromNewEnglandDragway,Epping,NH-NHRA Lucas Oil Seri

New England RV dealer Marc LaBrecque showed up this weekend with a fresh Winnabago Tour that is just the cats' behind - huge slides - twin screw - plenty of rich Corinthian leather couches - a double door fridge that holds enough food for an Army and this this thing must be close to fifty feet long - he says its only in the mid forties .I told him it must be hard to drive with a stacker behind it - he says nope - its a breeze - a monkey could probably drive it .........turns out he's close to being right ..............

Good Luck to everyone this weekend! Whew it's hot out my Phone says "Feels like 112 degrees". Man can't imagine being in a firesuit and hot racecar. Stay safe and hydrated!

Test n tune going on this afternoon - funny thing is more passes are being made by alcohol cars than Stock and S/S stuff.......No , its not fast out there but the traction was decent - no mineshaft stuff but they are leaving without terrible wheelspin .

Jack could you ask Marc how he trained his dog to drive his mororhome, even-though my Wiemaraner can guard my Bus I've never been able to get him behind the wheel? Claude

I've had Wiemaraners for years....they train us to do everything for them. If you don't know that then your Wiem is especially bright. LOL. Our oldest was a Can Am and specialty champ that even showed at Westminster and think she had us whipped into shape by 6 months of age. (Probably a more expensive hobby than racing in many regards)

Jack, there are still a few states that diesel is cheaper than premium, it's taxes, refinery logistics and of course political BS.

Good luck to all, stay hydrated for sure.

Hi Jack, thanks in advance for doing "live" this weekend. I look forward to your posts and pics. You should have some photos on your desk by next week that were taken at Lebanon Valley in June. Good luck to you and all this weekend. Stay safe, hydrated, and have fun.
God bless all.
