Live from Epping ,NH - NHRA Lucas Oil Series

Jack Matyas · 07-16-2015, 06:58 AM

Good morning members and guests - the plan was to be at NED this morning early but once again work got into the way and at this very moment I'm typing this from a Walmart parking lot somewhere in Conneticut .Plans call to arrive late morning- early enough to get parked-teched and bring you all the latest from todays' test n tune session .

For those interested its a brite and sunny morning with temps in the fifties with no rain in sight .
For those racers and fans planning to hit the road today my advise is to be very , very careful in New Hampshire- as of July 1 there is a new law there that has super stiff fines for texting / talking on your cell while driving and I'm told they are serious about this issue and like their new source of revenue .

Back a little later when I'm really 'live'...............

Coming from the South take care on the bridges with BUMP signs on 495...50 miles and closer to the track....Also going home 495 South. Especially for the stacker guys. They will move your stuff around. Pretty much every bridge or over pass is suspect. Even knowing it didn't save my dakota's mirror.

Be sure to stop by the Annual Junior Dragster fundraiser on Saturday afternoon behind the tower.

The kids will be raising money for Veterans Count! a subsidiary of Easter Seals. Veterans Count provides financial assistance and services to Veterans and their families.

Does that include taking pictures while driving? Lol!
Good luck this weekend, Jack. Thanks for the live reports!

After a very sunny afternoon here at NED test n tune is over with everyone in agreement that the track was very good but the weather wasn't fast .

Tommorow morning we'll be out on what I consider to be a great track surface and hopefully better weather conditions .
Here are a few pics that I've downloaded and will have more later ..............

Those traveling North on I-84 to the Mass Turnpike in Sturbridge (I-90) East,
GPS may suggest to get off at Exit 10 (I-290) in Auburn MA. to get to I-495 North.

Remain on I-90 East and take Exit 11A in Westboro MA to I-495 North.

The Bridge Reconstruction in Worcester will KO the fillings in your teeth!
