Live from Englishtown NJ - NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series

[Jack Matyas]

Stock , SuperStreet both got their last time shot and Comp ran their first round of elims .

Congrats to Steve Ficacci who is driving Anthony Bongiovannis CobraJet AA/SA qualified on the pole this morning and thats the good news .Bad news is he went -1.20 to do it as it was a whole ton faster this morning .His prize will be forthcoming Tuesday from the NHRA .

Its getting dark out in the last hour and I'm told its raining in Pennsylvania .They are in a hurry-up mode here to try and get as much done before the storms hit .

They are just finishing up with SG, but I am not sure if they will call Stock for first round. We were scheduled right after SG time shots, but we had a oil down on the starting that caused a one lane only for a good amount of SS qualifying. A few sprinkles started to fall and we were on hold on top of the oil down. Alcohol is supposed to run at 2PM so it looks like Stock will be pushed back.

The in car cam is brought to you by Marc LaBrecque in his GT/TC S10. The sun was bad on the left side, but I thought it was still a good in car to post.

They just called Alcohol as I type, so Stock will run first round later.

SuperStock got their final qualifier in - Anthony Bongiovanni is sitting on top with a -1.10 run in his CobraJet SS/CA .Not a bad weekend for him as his other car sits on the Stock pole with Steve Ficacci driving ........congrats Anthony .

After Alcohol is finished Stock is to have round one .......and we're chompin' at the bit .

Thanks Jim - It was really nice of you to tell the world about my loss - as if I don't feel bad enough already .Why didn't you also tell them how bad my opponents light was ? ? Then I'll feel even worse ..........Friends - what would we do without them ?

I was not going to mention your opponent's light, Jack.
