Red face Live from Englishtown , NJ - NHRA Supernationals

Normally I'd be telling you about the great cars rolling in this morning but as of this minute I'm not there yet .It would be super if I could give you some really terrific excuse but the real deal is the fact that we had a small flood at home last night and Debbie being Debbie wanted to hear nothing but its "fixed"
before I leave for the track .Well , its fixed now and turned out to be toilet plumbing issue that I and Home Depot can take credit for fixing .

I'll be there in a few hours to bring everyone up to speed ....................

Well Jack I guess that makes this live from Englishtown without Jack Matyas ! Maybe it's time to break out the old picture of you as the Maytag repairman . That being said it's going very slow here this morning . They started pulling rows about 10am . were in row 16 and havn't moved yet , It looks like there on about row 12 now .Also looks like the sportsmen will be parked on the airport side this year .

Jack, I will have to doc you a half days pay, man is it hard to find good help.

Marc, I'm in lane 24 and I think you right about where we will be parked. I don't think NHRA has many people parking, things are moving very slow. It is hot and humid here, upper 80’s, but it is supposed to break tomorrow with much less humidity and temps in the upper 70's.

I have a few shots of the staging area for rigs. Also, Vinny Berone already park and getting ready for tomorrow.

When I get parked I will be back with the schedule for tomorrows racing.

I am parked and done with tech. Even though it took awhile to get parked, everything has gone surprisingly well. A small line for tech and no line for credentials. What I thought was going to be a long day, turned out to be smooth sailing.

I have the schedule for Thursday and Friday. Friday's times were block, but it will still give everyone an idea what Friday will look like.

Once I get settle in, I will be back with more pictures and any info worth noting.

Well It's almost 6:30 PM and I'm back at the house now after an exhausting 15 minute ride home.We had a bit of a downpour at around 5:00 PM.Just a bit of rain and some nice sized hail stones,some bigger than nice sized marbles.Like Ken said Stock,SS and the Super category cars are parked on the pit side,above the area of the time ticket booth.It was explained to me that only towed vehicles were parking on the spectator side due to some incedents with spectators last year playing matador with the cars navigating the pits at the spectator entrances.It was getting a bit crowded when I left,but all in all it should be good for the S/SS cars getting to their spots easier this year.
Redman is in the house,doing his usual excellent job of making us welcome.And the tech guys did a good job of keeping the tech lanes short.
I spent the afternoon as apprentice to Tom Goldman who sorted out a few small issues with the little chugger motor.
I hope to have something in the class single marathon.

Well folks, I knew Jack was in the house. Not only did it rain, but we also got hail. Make sure you turn up the volume up so you can hear the hail hitting the ground. It has stopped now and the sun is trying to come out.



As you can see by the Camaro in Gary Richard's pit area, he still has a soft spot for Chevys.

The Oak Tree Duster is our Division I Champion, Dustan Lowell.

Billy Pires, is now in a 69 Nova, the bird went by by and he tells me he loves his new ride.

Our very own Class Racer star, Ed Fernandez working on his car. Folks, you don't know how much I wanted to shut that hood... just kidding Ed.

Anyone shoot a photo of the run schedule for friday, or is it pretty much the same as what Ken posted earlier....I didn't find it before I headed for the hotel.

Thanks

Eric
