Live from Englishtown -- NHRA SuperNationals

Looking into the entry lists on most all of the Sportsman racers in all the catigories are composed of Division 1 racers. There are very few other Division cars listed. Years ago, we used to get a ton of out of Divison cars, now you can count them on your hands. It's just a view of how regional the races are becoming. Good luck and be safe to all the racers participating . I miss going to that race facility.

We 'almost' got out on the track -- a few dozen SuperStreeters went down and they called us to the lanes but then the mist came back and most of us retreated back to out trailers.... to wait even more .Its now almost 1 PM EST and the bad weather is headed our way .Whats that I hear on my coach roof ? Its either Santa or its beginning to rain harder........BTW , we're on hold .

2:15 EST-- I hear the Jet dryer running and they just called SuperStreet and Stock back to the lanes........I was told here at Raceway Park they have a Thursday curfew of 6 PM..............

Hey Jack

it seems like if they can get going soon and there are no oildowns or interruptions they could still maybe get 2 rounds of qualifying in.

this has been the wierdest spring in a while, when I look at the callendar its hard to believe its the middle of June.

good luck this weekend

Just heard from a friend that a super street car spun in high gear.(first pair down)?
to much humidity for the track I guess.

could someone please post the proposed friday schedule

Would assume (and we all that what that means) that the first rounds scheduled for Friday would be a time shot, but... Then again, Friday's weather isn;t all that promising either. Shoulda left this race in July. Heat I deal with with, cold and wet is another matter.
