Jim and Jack,, Thanks you very much.

[Jack Matyas]

Stock and SuperStreet got their first qualifier in and as the boys from New England would say "its wicked fast out there ".I'm sure some triggers were hit - I'll post sheets as they become available .All that and the numbers don't really show why it's fast ..............

[Jack Matyas]

Atco Stock and S/S -- What was to be the 1/4 finals turned out to be the semis when two didn't show up ( Yago and Rowe ) and 4 were left - it was Smith over Hockrun and Sepanek over Fetch .Seven left in S/S .

Yago and Rowe had already completed their run at Atco with Rowe winning.

Yep, somehow I missed that for sure - but congrats to Howard Smith for his Stock win and Miss Katie the runner-up .S/S-- Joe Santangelo for the win with a final round package of .020 over Herbie Null .Lil Joe averaged .018 on the tree thru six rounds of the eliminator .

One final thought on the Atco event - since I'm covering two races its been brought to my attention that Ken should be paying double this weekend - and if he ever shows up here I'll be sure to discuss it with him as I'm told he may make a guest appearance tomorrow for a quickie one hit and jump into the eliminator ...........we'll see ! ! !

You just never know what you'll see at one of these events - unusual ? you bet .Done right .check .ever see one before .can't remember for sure .All this is about Gary Simpers '58 Edsel Roundup 2 dr station wagon .Just couldn't resist taking a few photos and sharing - He thought I wouldn't be interested because I'm not a Ford "guy" .But I am a real car guy .........

Jacko, I had to look it up in Dwight Southerland's new Class Racer Info site.
Not listed..No Fords before 1960.
They did make a 60 Edsel, but it's not listed either.
Not even the Police Interceptor option.

It's ok Jack you are allowed to miss one every now and then, I was just trying to help didn't want your pay to be affected.
