First time I said vent windows in SoCal, they thought I was from a different planet.

I know your orginally from this area Charlie from reading some of your posts...

How about we call them "smokers windows".......that was also a popular name for them.

I had one( a '67) and smoked.....



I am 105 miles away from Atco.......Home that is.....Would I prefer to be there?......sure I would but I choose not to and will read the posts and make believe I'm there....LOL

Growing up in Nebraska, they were 'wing windows' ....we're in the middle, so a little of both East and West I guess.

I lived in PA all my life and they were always "wing windows" here.

We have wind wings and the west coast rule book but no race tracks. You guys have vent windows and a ton of race tracks............................................ .you got the better deal!!

OK - beat me with a wet noodle - I missed the "Wing Windows" ....and I don't think its a East - West thing ...........more like a generation thing .

Here's a few pics I missed earlier ............

Good to see another Cobra killer on the track (Viper Challenger)

Google it - Vipers kill Cobras

Good luck Joe - even though we have not met yet

Oh and good luck Dave Thomas if you are there - another racer I have not met yet

:-) peace

Good morning - In just over two hours we'll start another race here at Atco - can't yet tell you what the car count is but there is no parking left on the asphalt - if you're late its on the sand for you .

Weather - Sunny and brite - low temps this morning but very comfortable - 69 degrees - barometer @ 29.92 but the humidity still high 66 % showing but by race time some of that will burn off - all that brings us to a DA of around 1500 feet . Some racers will have to carefull this morning so they don't "trip the trigger" as they say and a few might be able to hit the automatic HP deal - I keep you up to date on those .

Back in a bit ............

PS- Thanks to our man Kenny we got some pics and videos while I played in the test n tune ........very gracious of him to be understanding .That said I'm positive he'll doc me ! ! !

[Jack Matyas]

Attention in the pits - big change in the schedule - because of the bad weather that is to roll in tomorrow late there will be no time runs Saturday and first thing we will start off with eliminations and try to complete the event in one day .

The first round of qualifiers in Stock are complete - and it slowed up a bunch from earlier .

More as I get it ...........S/S coming up soon .
