Smile Re: Live from Englishtown - NHRA Supernationals

This morning - just so-so ....overcast and very warm (65) even at this early hour (6:30) but showing some promise as the TV weather folks are saying it will burn off later this AM .Everyone here i'm sure has their fingers crossed

Pictured below are the "Leftover Six" Stocker teams who got to spend more than 5 hours underneath the Raceway Park tower yesterday afternoon and evening and do nothing - well almost nothing -- think about their dials with ever changing weather - start and warm-up their engines four times - think more about how good their opponents light will be - check the air in their tires about a zillion times - well you get it -- and after all that were still denied a shot at moving on to round five -- here's my take on how they looked during the downtime ----
1) Peter Biondo and his lady looked confident the whole time - period.
2) Bubba - Showed very little emotion the entire time - maybe he had lawns to mow today .

3) Tex Miller -- He had a concerned look on him most of the time - not sure what was going on in his head .Monday morning sales meeting at work ???
4) Steve Calabro - smoked a million cigs but was "loose" for sure
5) Dave Ficcaci - Good thing we had cell service - spent most of his time texting
6) Dusty Lowell -- Don't know him well enough to get a good read ..........

Talking Re: Live from Englishtown - NHRA Supernationals

We're half an hour from the start and still overcast but no wet stuff .Even for a Monday I'm surprised there are fans -- they have been filing in for some time now - don't get me wrong -hundreds not thousands but they stayed .Guess a lot of managers got the call this morning - you know - the one that says I'm not 'gonna make it in ! !

Just went out on the track a few minutes ago -NHRA Safety Safari along with Director Langs' team did an excellent job prepping / drying and are ready to go with time to spare .

Stay tuned ..........
