"Live From" NHRA - Sony/PCRichard Pennsylvania Dutch Classic
Yeah I know its only Wednesday, but parking and tech was open for this weeks Dutch Classic today, so I said what the heck and headed over to the Grove.
I have to say D1 came through again this week. Opening tech early is something they did not have to do, but Dave Ley was out here from late morning until the evening getting anyone teched in that got here early or were already here from the national event. There was a surprising amount of cars out today and I got some photos for everyone. Weather today was as perfect as you can get with temps in the lower 70's and no wind to speak of. Tomorrow is supposed to be the same as today and I ran into three people going for records tomorrow. I talked to Jim Boudreau, he will be going for the B/SA record. Adam Kerr will be trying for the A/SA and AA/SA record. John Kakalecik will be going for the SS/CA record in his beautiful 70 hemi cuda. I'm sure there will be more cars going for records, the conditions look good for tomorrow, it should be a fun day. |

Re: "Live From" NHRA - Sony/PCRichard Pennsylvania Dutch Cla
Good morning all - First things first - boy oh boy, am I going to pay for the boss opening up this thread before me - its never happened before and believe me it won't again as my Christmas bonus is now in limbo .
Second - looking out my window its the perfect day we were looking for last week- you know - sunshine ,blue skies , temps in the low fifties and most of all no sign what-so-ever of rain . Today will consist of test n tune with NHRA National Record runs tossed in and hopefully Ken and I will have some news and great photos to share with our members and guests . The gates just opened for parking etc . but I'm not sure what time tech will start . Back a little later ...............

Re: "Live From" NHRA - Sony/PCRichard Pennsylvania Dutch Cla
It is very humid, and we are seeing some sun to the east, but solid clouds to our west. The baro is dropping steadily, and most seemed to be .03-.07 slower. saw record attempts by a few, Keir may have backed up his record in A, not sure. Boudreau went 996 in B/SA, I think I saw Dave Ficacci go 10.01 in B/SA, Steve Ficacci sr went 10.0 in A/S, their D/S car made a run but I did not get the time. Dean Cook II was in the record lane too.
SS has been called to the lanes now, 1040 am

Dave said it all, not a good day for record setting. I caught three cars at the top of the staging lanes doing what ever it takes to lower the records.
