$325 is outragious! Doesn't NHRA know that there is a recession happening? Maybe they are gouging all that they can before they go under?

$100.00 is for the test and tune. NHRA as nothing to do with that price. The money goes to LVMS

DA of 2634 ?? Man, that is great air around here. You guys are spoiled. Atco, Englishtown, etc.

I'm just jealous.

Jack Matyas · 11-06-2008, 06:06 PM

Pass #2 an improvement but this ain't Atco for sure .Weather got worse for sure but I managed to pick up a few hundreths -- no cake walk here .

Forgot I took some pictures--hope you folks like 'em . Thought you might like to see the Shelby Factory -- the place where they build paper cars really does exist -- honest .Also got some shots of a couple of Robert Pond 427 Fords and last but not least Larry Maxwell brought a gaggle of 455 early Pontiacs .

Opps-- I've been shut out of attachments -- I'll post the pics after they turn me back on .

$100 for two runs. Not much of a test-n-tune there. Any possibility of more?

Jack Matyas · 11-06-2008, 07:07 PM

I was promised a third run but just got tossed from the lanes -- no run for me -- oh well ! ! Later..........

Mark Yacavone · 11-06-2008, 08:24 PM

Jacko, Thanks for the reports. Those conditions are great compared to Labor Day, here.
If you guys are going to Pomona, why don't you stop here the week after,for our race?

Jack Matyas · 11-06-2008, 09:39 PM

Mark -- I'd love to stop and race your race but its not my truck -- I'll be sure to pass the word around Pomona .......thanks for the offer ! ! !

PS-- I'll be glad to post some pictures but "they" have me shut out yet -- don't know why my attachments are off...............

PSS - Who is Marty Robbins ??
