"Live From" NHRA - Sony/PCRichard Pennsylvania Dutch Classic

[Dave Casey]

It is very humid, and we are seeing some sun to the east, but solid clouds to our west. The baro is dropping steadily, and most seemed to be .03-.07 slower. saw record attempts by a few, Keir may have backed up his record in A, not sure. Boudreau went 996 in B/SA, I think I saw Dave Ficacci go 10.01 in B/SA, Steve Ficacci sr went 10.0 in A/S, their D/S car made a run but I did not get the time. Dean Cook II was in the record lane too.

SS has been called to the lanes now, 1040 am

Dave said it all, not a good day for record setting. I caught three cars at the top of the staging lanes doing what ever it takes to lower the records.

[Dave Casey]

They ran all of SS except the Hemi cars which are in lanes, then it started to spit rain, then some big drops started. By the time Iwalked back to my rig, it stpped raining and the sun came out. They maybe resuming running in a few minutes, I think the Hemi cars are still in the lanes 11:50 am

yup they are running them now
