Live from Atco, NJ ... National Open

Ken Miele · 04-07-2010, 06:12 PM

I know its a little early for a live from report, but I had to do some business at Atco today. I figured I might as well bring the car and get parked. I know its only an open, but I thought it might be interesting to see if any records will be set along with the type of turnout we will have. I'm am sure there are many who can't wait to get out and race here in div 1 after a long and snowy winter.

A quick weather report for the day. It was very warm, in the upper 80's. The weather for tomorrows test and tune along with record runs calls for a little cooler, low 80's. The weekend forecast called for some rain Thursdays night into Friday morning with much cooler temps for the weekend. I just check the local forecast, and they are now calling for only a 20% chance of rain late Thursday into Friday morning. High temp will be in the low 60's for Friday and Saturday, with Sunday warming up to the low 70's. Man that wasn't a quick weather report was it.

The schedule calls for a test and tune along with records on Thursday. We get 2 runs on Friday along with record runs. Saturday we get one run and then eliminations. The schedules say the race will be run to completion on Saturday and Sunday is the rain date. Judging by the forecast and if it is correct it should be a nice weekend for racing, a little windy perhaps but still looks good.

Not many rigs here, its only wendsday. I did find a few stockers. Sam Murry, Ed Bednaz and Jim Boudreau. Talk with them for awhile, you know just bs about what's good and what's not with NHRA class racing. One thing will all have in common, we love stock eliminator and always look forward to racing.

I also talk to Mike Iacono and Chuck Veach, div 1 regulars , Mike is here testing his comp car, but will be shooting out to Vegas with Chuck, these guys will not being racing here this weekend, All there stuff is out west. I would love to make Vegas one year.

I will try to get some et's for the test and tune, and let everyone know if any records were set for tomorrow.

I will also keep you up to date and the weather.
