I cought a few S/SS at Atco testing today
I headed to Atco today to put a few laps on my street car. The weather was perfect, 65 with a bar of 30.40 and no wind. The only issue was the track was not very good. There was 4 lanes of street cars, it was just a test and tune day for anything. I thought most would be shopping, and I could have some fun, man was I wrong, the place was jammed. There was 6 S/SS cars there. Angelo Ditocco was there driving a Stocker and his Super Stock. On one run hey shook harder than I have ever seen a Super Stocker shake. You can't tell from the photo, but it was horrible.
The 65 L/SA Mustang is driven by Jeff Lawrence, its a new combo he just finished. He will be doing double duty next season. The first run on the car he went a 12.30. I saw Doc Horn in his 67 E/S GTX, Kenny Van Gorp in his SS/GA Camaro, Stan Giermanski in his B/SA Nova and Jeff Bardekoff in his B/SA Fury. I did not stay long, there was just to may cars there, it was no fun, so I headed out.. It was nice to see some race cars, its going to be along winter. |

It's the middle of November and you guys are still racing?
It was nice here too today but a bunch colder and the track has been closed a month and a half already. Nice pix, the Jeff Lawrence Mustang is interesting, is that rated 225 by NHRA? |

Thanks for the pictures
Great bunch of racers, best to stay clear of that DiTocco/Van Gorp group however. My sources say they are a bad bunch! What a great way to spend black friday, and 30.50 Barometer. Best wishes to all!

The barometer was indeed unusually good unfortunately the track was unusually bad.

Re: I cought a few S/SS at Atco testing today
Look at the lettering on the left rear tire of the #1515 silver Mustang. It looks completely different in the staging lanes and during the burn out. I can imagine one side stretching, but how did the opposite side shrink? Did they change the tire between shots?
