Live from Atco, NJ - NHRA Lucas Oil Series

[Jack Matyas]

Good evening boys and girls - Here's the thing - just like the song says - i'm a few days older and certainly deeper in debt since i've last written to you but very glad to be here just the same.And in the 'believe it or not' column here's a new one - the 'boss' made sure there was a spot for me tonight because the place is full .Somewhere in all his kindness toward me I know the other shoe is going to drop - and frankly I've got to be on my guard all weekend as he's pretty sneaky sometimes .Or maybe he's turning over a new leaf....nah - never going to happen ! ! We'll see - I'll keep you informed .

Tomorrow is to be parking - tech - and test n tune .But the weatherman has things in store for us - like hot / sticky weather with temps in the mid nineties and possible thunder storms in the afternoon .Could be a great day to head to the beach - did i mention Atlantic City is only 40 minutes away ? Hmmmmmmm....................

And then there is tech - tomorrow we'll talk about the benefits of getting 'extended tech' for you car .

While driving here tonight I decided that because the temps are going to be brutal this weekend I'd better to have plenty of diesel onboard to run the generator and air conditioning so I stopped to fill up near the track .Thing is I don't get it -they sell diesel ( and gas) 80 to 90 cents a gallon cheaper here in New Jersey than in Pennsylvania .And they pump it for you unlike PA where you have to do it .Did I mention the refineries are in Pennsylvania also ???? Something going on ........

We'll talk more in the morning ----
