Re: Live from Englishtown , N J -- NHRA SuperNationals
The rains did show up again at E-Town this afternoon but only for a half an hour or so but were accompanied by some strong winds .Almost as quickly as the storm blew in it was gone - dark clouds and all .The Sun came back out and helped with the drying process .
First of all congrats to 'Lil Joe Santangelo the Stock champion who was a driving machine all weekend .Would you believe thru seven rounds of racing he averaged .017 .And the clutch race had to be in the quarters with Joe Lisa heads-up with both having almost the same ET's but Joeys' light a terrific .009 .Congrats Joey ... Congrats also go out to Eric Cabral who made it to the Stock final in his very first try only to go -.014 red . The SuperStock final was contested between Brian Martel who went .018 followed by James Antonnette who went -.004 red .Congrats to both ........... I'm still downloading some afternoon photos and after a dinner I'll post 'em . This was some race - it had it all-- heat - cool - fast -- slow - good barometer -- in the toilet barometer -- one thing great for the Sportsman all weekend was the traction - thanks NHRA ! ! ! My advise - get some grade points and sign up for this one next year .

Re: Live from Englishtown , N J -- NHRA SuperNationals
Thanks for the great reporting and the pictures too, Jack! A lot of history at E-town that needs to be experienced at least once in a life-time. Sure hope to be able to be there next year.

Re: Live from Englishtown , N J -- NHRA SuperNationals
Jack, was the spectator turn-out as bad as it looks in the photos here and on the TV over the week-end? There were lots of empty seat metal showing during the ESPN qualifying and elimination shows. You know that they were broadcasting "PRO" NHRA and from the camera position there were many empty seats as they showed the starting line and down track.
