One final thought on the Atco event - since I'm covering two races its been brought to my attention that Ken should be paying double this weekend - and if he ever shows up here I'll be sure to discuss it with him as I'm told he may make a guest appearance tomorrow for a quickie one hit and jump into the eliminator ...........we'll see ! ! !

It's ok Jack you are allowed to miss one every now and then, I was just trying to help didn't want your pay to be affected.

Jacko, I had to look it up in Dwight Southerland's new Class Racer Info site.
Not listed..No Fords before 1960.
They did make a 60 Edsel, but it's not listed either.
Not even the Police Interceptor option.

Jack, Edsels are kooool. I passed on one years ago, regrets. Thanks for the T's at Maple Grove. E

1960 was the last year for vessel and I believe the only made the 1960 for part of the year. I spent a lot of time in a 58 vessel with the push button shifter in the center of the steering wheel. I don't think they were police interceptors. But I remember they were 4 barrel and either a 312 or 352. Obviously I mean to say Edsel. ..but this smart phone corrected It??????

Anybody know what happened to DRC? Results for the Atco race, nothing for qualifying from today.

Jim Samuel posted on NorthEastDragRace.com that he had computer issues right as he uploaded today's info.

Maybe someone could hook us up with Q sheets?

Good morning boys and girls - another beautiful day here at Cecil County with more sunshine and blue skies coming our way - what more could we ask for ?

Stock will lead off at 9:30 and my thought is that it will be fast again as the DA at this moment is right around 1,000 ft and could drop further as the dew burns off .

All catagories will have one more shot at the 1320 this morning and around 2pm we'll start eliminations ........back a little later .

[Jack Matyas]

OK - So I ditched you guys ( and gals ) for awhile - had a ton of overdue service to get done on my ride - good thing I had the help of Tommy Goldman from GAS Racing and Joe Burns from Carfagno Chevrolet - good friends indeed who came to my rescue .That said we're only an hour from round one .Stock ,SuperStock ,SuperStreet,and SuperComp will all have first round only today .Comp will run to completion .

Tomorrow morning - the winners of last three pairs tonight in Stock will be the first out in round two - pay attention to this .

[Jack Matyas]

Sheets are at a premium .......but here's a start .
