Thanks for the update Bob, I was not sure who the drivers were so I did not want to speculate on who they were or how it happened.

Here are some nice actions shots from John DiBartolomeo Editor-DRAG RACING ACTION Magazine http://www.dragracingaction.com/

My god is that ROCK at atco.would have showed up for that.hey rock tell the truth they run things like a F in joke in div 1.now we all know you will not say what you think but try in your way.I was not there but i bet it was the state police who pooled the plug.Hell they would have had tow trucks there all day just to get the race in.thats the way we do things in DIV 1.

Asta, the one state police officer were swarming that place on Sunday. He was driving up and down the return road and after Jeff crashed I saw him walking the track.

Trust me, it really sucked the big one for S/G guys as we got 1 time run in 3 days! It was good to somewhat meet Rock since he was right in front of us for 1st round, should be interesting who shows back up in 2 weeks since Silver Dollar is the same weekend along with Virginia. I know there were a few IHRA TOC players and some S/G guys like Tommy D who was going to SD.

What really sucks is that Chris lost 1st round Ken won 1st round & I never ran 1st round . Im still going to Silver Dollar ,Ken is going back to Atco with help from my friends.Hopefully Silver Dollar is warmer!!

Have fun at Silver Dollar Tommy, looks like well have to make the trip next year as Dad is going back to Atco instead. Only good thing is I get to race the Dutch out of this. I'll make sure I pack a bunch of blankets for Atco in 2 weeks, see you Friday at the Grove!!

Well it was an interesting trip for sure......We got 2 runs in SS and 1 run in super gas....in 3 days.....I may not be able to return.....I'm not sure....the hospitality was great from the d1 group.....but the track issues were puzzeling....it wasn't that cold....

and yes that state cop was out of his mind.....its not like that in Div 3...

Someone brought this up to me today.....Why don't we have a set of rules as to how sticky the track is ...like one of those TOP fuel tracktesters to check the track....and have a minimum number or we don't run....instead of using the super class cars to test the track.....the poor Super Streeters went out there and it looked pretty slippery...I watched the crashes.....Hell the first pair crashed....We need a device to check the track instead of a "Track expert" kicking the starting line.....Let's make it a no brainer....and lets check the track in several areas.....(like where the cars come off the stop)...

I am in no means pointing a finger at the Atco crew....I was impressed at the amount of personel on hand and the effort put forth to get that track in shape....The division director out on the track for most of the classes.....the track owner doing everything he could....running the jet both mornings....spraying the dog.... out of the track...something was just not right.....

Where in the heck was Asta.....?
