Jim, a few of the teams that I talked to said it was about a 1000ft, temps were in the upper 60's.

Here are the videos I took today, the first one is a little shaky, still trying to figure out this new camera. Check out the last photo, any of you know why Todd Hoven has a keyed lock on the front fender of his Firebird.

I'll take a guess that the key lock on fender is for an "old school" alarm system.

Ken, on Todd's car, it puts it in "VALET" mode when the AHFS is active.

It looks like an Alarm that was on some older corvettes from the factory.

Cool Re: Live from the NHRA PC Richard National Open @ Atco Racew
OK, so i've been slacking off a bit but things are getting back to normal . ClassRacer always brings you up to date on the latest gossip and dirt but this one will knock your socks off.

This weekend finds our own Division One engine builder / tuner , longtime Chrysler Corp driver and General Manager of Ray Barton Racing Engines - David Barton who recently won big time in a Camaro COPO is trying to prove what he's been telling us for years - if it's got wheels and an engine I can drive it - but this weekend things are different - he's in the Cook Bros. Cobra Jet Mustang and is chompin' at the bit -just like one of the Derby Stallions last week.

Go get 'em David .................

Question Re: Live from the NHRA PC Richard National Open @ Atco Racew
Good morning all - The expected rain hasn't arrived and has now been pushed back to sometime this afternoon according to the TV weather forecasters this AM which is really great news to us as most figured today was a total washout .The Sun is trying hard to burn thru the clouds and may win out soon.

Me? I'm going to enjoy a cup of tea and start getting ready for some racing today .....

Later ....After I find out if the schedule has been altered .
