Live from Atco-- Part 3-NHRA Lucas Oil Series

[Jack Matyas]

Its a beautiful sunny morning here at Atro Raceway and if your a Stock/SuperStock racer this is the one you've been waiting for . Weather is 61 degrees with humidity at 60% and burning off --Vapor pressure is 31 with the barometer at 29.77 and the final DA at 761 . Not mineshaft conditions but much better than yesterday and looking for improvement .

Before I forget -- congrats to "Fast Eddie" Bednaz who retired on Wednesday and last night his friends "toasted" him at the Tiki Bar here inside the track........I'm sure there will be stories today .

Record runs are this morning and I'll try to keep you up to date..........later .

BTW -- Racers were coming in all night - count is past 500 and climbing -- expected to go past 600 --have no idea where they are going to pit -- the place is very full .Soon we'll need Grading Points for a Lucas race.....
