Live from Rising Sun, Maryland - NHRA Lucas Oil Series

[Jack Matyas]

Good morning boys and girls -Today is starting out just like yesterday - picture perfect without a doubt .And the next few will be more of the same .Yippee............

As Ken wrote last evening parts were flying everywhere yesterday as many racers are using this event as a tune-up for Bowling Green / Indy and this morning we'll find out more of whats in store for the next few weeks .As the evening came to a close the track really came around even though the air wasn't terrific (2400' @7:30 by my weather station)and the traction was at its best .

This morning we are to start at 9:30 with everyone getting two shots at the 1/4 mile and I'm told the possibility of a third 'freebie' is on the table .I've also been told that racing on Saturday evening will not - repeat will not be done in the dark - all should be secure by 7:30 .I'll follow up on this news so everyone can make dinner plans ..............

Back in a bit ...............
