Live from Pomona -- NHRA World Finals - Page 2

Jack Matyas · 11-12-2008, 02:59 PM

Today its great to be in Pomona -- the temp already at 78 and very sunny -- the other numbers are much above Vegas -- barometer at 29 even -- humidity at 25.4% and the VP is at .25 -- bad news is the DA -- 2780 and climbing....

Today is parking and tech -- mostly bench racing with old friends for me -- all day to catch-up .Haven't been here for a few years and things have really changed -- most of you aren't aware but there is only one tree on the whole property and this year I couldn't get within a 1/4 mile of it -- and I liked parking under it -- oh well ! ! !

Brock Mosier joined us today - (as a trailer mate) - most of you don't know him -- he won the Summit race at Maple Grove this year and quaified for the big Summit race here -- good luck to him this weekend .

Before I forget--- thanks to Tony James for my ride in this morning -- he probably bit off more than he could chew with me -- he thought it was just a ride in but I needed to do dry cleaners -- donuts -- newspaper and then ice - he was wore out by the time we got to the track .Those of you who know me understand how I am ......

Luke -- I may give that In n Out deal ......
