Live from Inaugural New England Nationals!

Bobby Fazio · 06-20-2013, 09:32 AM

Come on guys, I'm a little depressed I can't be there so anything you have start throwing it in here. Any pics or updates on the facility, weather, parking, qualifying, etc. PS How is the Mello Yello, Traxxis, and Harley talent in New England?

A lot of us can't be there, Bobby!

Audio is up, Alan Reinhardt is on the PA and just called Stock to the lanes!

The local Fox News channel did a live interview with Tom Boucher on the starting line.
Very well done. Can't wait to be there Saturday.

Well as they say All's good here at Epping ! Weathers great low 70's bar 30.14 da 1300hum in the 30% range. The reactions been very good . They did a great job getting everybody parked yesterday and there's definetlly a National Event feeling in the air.Weather looks good thru the weekend (hmmm no Jack) !

We all got 2 hits today. 2 tomorrow as well before 1st rd in the afternoon. Someone must be listening about track conditions because they dragged the track after every other category. The humidity is supposed to increase as the weekend wears on so this first day qualifying may be the fastest times we post. They ran out of pit space and put about 40 of us in "no man's land" out by the finish line. It actually isn't that bad, just a long ways away.

Bobby Fazio · 06-20-2013, 10:06 PM

Wow 4 hits is pretty sweet I don't think I've ever gotten more than 2 at a national event since I started racing. I think this will be the largest spectator turnout of the season. Guess we will find out tomorrow. Are there any stick cars in super stock, what happened to Filipone?

6 am Friday, another nice day,
They seem to be spending lots of time dragging the track. After racing last night they ground the starting line .
The parking turned out much better than I expected. It has rained so much in the whole New England area that the ground is saturated everywhere within 2-300 miles. There are some wet pit areas,but it is drying out fast.

There were many impressive runs yesterday, I watched super stock both runs and props to 3 racers that made great runs in both sessions Mark Markow , Scott Gove,and John Armstrong,, some runs are just a thing of beauty.
