Live from Lebanon Valley-- NHRA Lucas Oil Series

[Jack Matyas]

8:45 AM -- Sun is still out -- Tech is open and life is good .

I forgot to mention the decision by Lebanon Valley staff and the NHRA last night to let racers come in and park in the staging lanes -- nice move on their part .This enabled everyone to get together last night with family and friends to bar-b-q and have a evening of fun instead of sitting in a parking lot alone and isoloated -- other tracks should explore this move - it sure made alot of people happy .Well done boys .......

Hey Jack, I always enjoy your commentary & photos.
This time I'm sitting in the pits nearby, enjoying (not) the rain shower. It's noon so I'm having lunch and watching (hopefully) as the sky gets brighter.
I had one time trial today (Super Street) and really need another, as I'm not used to this elevation.

I drove 1300 miles to get here (from FL) and am confident that I brought some of the sunshine along with me. The weather doesn't look bad for Sat & Sunday. It should be a law of nature, No rain on the 4th of July weekend!
