I have been to Atco and Englishtown when the DA on my hand held weather station said - 500 or better Englishtown is about an hour north and can also have air like that on a crsip sunday morning in the spring or fall..... 2000-2500 is about normal in warm conditions I was at Numidia earlier this month.....and it was 3600 feet..... Worst I ever saw around here at any track was about 4000-4200.....

At the Dutch Classic in October at Maple Grove, the DA is routinely -500 or better every morning of the 4 day event.

I have seen Bob Lang rip the tape down and right in the same area where one of those pictures earlier posted is from.
I often arrived on early Thursday evening for most division races back when participation was much higher than these days. I was often pitted so far away from the lanes I was past the finishline...... Racers that arrived Friday morning where much closer to the lanes thanks to the reverse order of parking that was often used.... The tape stretchers and spot savers need to be stopped.....or at least limited to ONE saved spot.....

A couple of years ago or so, because of this same issue at this same track we were told by D1 that no one could save more than one spot. When we showed up on Thursday morning, driving to the gate we could see that contrary to the so called new D1 rule it was caution tape city. I asked at the gate why the new rule was not being adhered to? The woman at the gate didn't know anything about it and called track management to ask. She was told that anybody who didn't like it could have their money back and leave! Then later in the day they came around and took a lot of the single spots away from people. So much for caring about the customer.

Hi gang - well its been a very long and trying day and many thanks go out to the boss for opening up for me today .First thing is as most of you know the test n tune was washed out today .The Sun came out many times but not enough to dry the track and grounds out .
Second is the place is packed already even with todays bad forecast everyone showed up .So much for Sportsman racing going dead - at least not here in Division One .Good news ?The weekend is looking terrific - so if you're on the fence start packing and get on the road . Me ? ? I've got my hands full - sprung a water leak in my fresh water tank somewhere and tomorrow will be full of trying to fix it between racing . Managed to snap a few photos earlier .....Just enough to keep Kenny happy . BTW , did manage to get some good eats in tonight thanks to my friends Tommy Goldman and Kathy Purcell who shared ( and cooked ) some of the finest Crab cakes and fried shrimp that I've ever had .

Good morning - Well blue skies and Sun its not this morning but at least its not raining .The big word this AM is fog and boy oh boy is it thick .As I sit here this morning enjoying some early tea and toast I can see about maybe 40 or fifty yards - there is just that much of it and hopefully in a few hours it'll burn off .
Yesterday the 'volunteers' from NHRA's Division One Certification team were doing house calls getting tech done while it was raining and that will take the rush off this morning - thanks guys ! ! We do notice your efforts and can't thank you enough . Back in an hour or two ....
