Stock rd1 went off fast -- not much exciting -- dials all over the range -- some thought it was faster -- some slower -- not many were right ........... S/S RD1 coming up

Calabro picked up as most did -- he went 10 flat in A/SA-- Anthony B is starting to show some promise in his AA/SA Cobra Jet '08 -- he went 9.91 @138 and still pickin' at it .......S/S Q2 coming up ..........

Also -- Pictured below is Wally Zalak and sons with their 71 Corvette who have been awarded "Best Engineered " at this event -- a great looking car that will surely win best appearing at another race this year ! ! !

Looks like my father didn't quite get the clutch dialed in...

Stock rd2--walters over farrell -- linke over the greek --kirbins over young - lowell over taylor -- camilito over strang -- parker had a bye --calabro dead on for a win -demarzo over silver -- leo n over blakley- mark over bubba -ficcacci over mocci -- bardecoff moves on ..........


After second round of everything tonight is done nothing else will go on -- resume tomorrow morning -- worked out well for me as I'm typing this while on a New Jersey Transit train -- meeting up with my wife in Atlantic City for a quiet dinner -- it sure is hard to type while riding - how do commuters do it everyday ? You're on your own from here ........

BTW - for those of you wondering what happened to Ken Meile -- after making his best run ever in his old school CJ he noticed a problem with his engine and decided it was a prudent move not to run it again without further inspection .

Jack:
You did a great job today. You deserve a nice quiet meal with Deb. Try the Cabernet Sauvignon with your lean cut, 16 oz.NYC Filet Mignon.
Good luck at the tables.
BTW: When you say Ficacci won, you need to be a little more specific!! LOL...
Is brother Miele still in??

Thanks Jack for filling in. I had some issues with my car and did not make first round. I am home now and it looks to be minor, but you know what the say, better safe then sorry.

I was able to get the final qualifying sheets for stk and ss.

I hope everyone enjoyed the live updates and pictures. Me or Jack or both of us will being doing the next live from back here at the Atco points meet in 3 weeks.

See you all then.

[Mack Reeves]

Ken and Jack, Thanks for the up to the minute reports.... The pictures are great also... Ken, sorry to hear about your problems and glad to hear they are minor.........

One little tidbit of good luck I had yesterday and forgot to mention - while waiting in line to enter the track yesterday morning-- we were about 5 or 7 cars back from the gate when I noticed everyone was going around a car so I did the same when we got to it - as I was going past the driver motioned to me and I thought maybe he needed a battery jump or a push so I pulled up next to him and opened the window - much to my surprise he asked if I needed a ticket to get in and I answered how much -- again I was surprised when he said free -- some days its just your turn - yesterday was mine - its the small things that count - thanks to the stranger in the 90's Buick Century whoever you are ! ! !

Jack, who was running the white Dodge A/SA? ..You know I have a soft spot for those cars. .........Tom
