It certainly looks like the water box is ready to go already!!!

Thanks for the updates Jack!

Re: Live from Englishtown -- NHRA SuperNationals
 

maybe its just me, but what would it of hurt to make the pro's lose one qualifying run today and they would still have 3 for the weekend so sportsman could of had 2 runs, wow if i remember right, sportsman pay $330 per entry and pro's pay............, just don't understand it at times.

Re: Live from Englishtown -- NHRA SuperNationals
 

You know that's never going to happen Joe

Re: Live from Englishtown -- NHRA SuperNationals
 

Stock is just completing rd 1 of qualifying (one shot and done!)......

Sal Biondo is the #1 qualifier so far.... a few more cars to go....

Comp cars in the lanes are going to qualify next

Re: Live from Englishtown -- NHRA SuperNationals
 

Well here it is -- Sal Biondo in Bill Hawks' black beauty Shelby Mustang is our #1 man hands down -- no one on the property was near his 1.31 under in this soup .And he got the B/SA Wally to boot .Other class winners -- Evan Smith , Ken Kopecky at 10.90 , Bob Bender , Eric Bollman in AA/SA 10 Flat ,Shaul at 10.19, more when the sheets come out .......S/s up in awhile...........

Re: Live from Englishtown -- NHRA SuperNationals
 

It seems to me, lately, that the posted qualifying times on DRC, are coming later and later than they use to. I understand that confusion in the tower, as pertaining to proper car registration, and/or computer glitches, can contribute to this...but why so much lately?? I don't want to see TAFC and Comp qualifying notes when Stock and Super Stock ran hours ago!! WTF???? Post the damn results, or at least give us an explanation as to why they are not posted.

Sorry, just needed to vent a little. No hard feelings toward anyone in general, just think efficiency and promptness have taken a dip lately. I don't know if these reporters get paid to do this, but if they do, they're slacking.

Re: Live from Englishtown -- NHRA SuperNationals
 

I agree!....Does anyone have the results for Stock that they can post on here? It would be very much appreciated.

Re: Live from Englishtown -- NHRA SuperNationals
 

Some of you boys seem to be a little testy this afternoon with DRC's service -- its not their fault -- the Internet service this today is spotty at best .Here's a few photos to look at and cool off .

BTW -- #1 - Biondo -1.311
#2 - Farrell i/sa -- -1.18
#3 -- Smith h/s -- -1.13
#4 -- Kreeber -- f/sa -- -1.12
#5 -- Cokinos -- p/s -- -1.12
#6 --Bardecoff --b/sa -- -1.117
#7 --Shaul --a/sa-1.109
#8 -- Kopecky -- e/sa -- -1.09
#9 -- Monahan -- j/sa -- -1.08
#10-- Conte -- c/sa -- -1.07 Not only did Sal Biondo be #1 and get a first round bye -- he was two (2) tenths faster than the next B/SA

Re: Live from Englishtown -- NHRA SuperNationals
 

A few more photos to take in.......and before you start typing in asking about the dog here's the dirt -- yep , its my soft side if you can believe it .My first wife and I had a twin to this yellow Lab -- in the 'settlement' she got him -- I miss Trapper every day....................

Re: Live from Englishtown -- NHRA SuperNationals
 

Fred, go to nhra site, check under results, Tom

Re: Live from Englishtown -- NHRA SuperNationals

Thanks for the great job you do keeping us informed. I check your updates BEFORE I go to Drag Race Central.

I'd like to see more pictures of the puppy (I bet you'll start something that'll be great fun).

Thanks, again.

Re: Live from Englishtown -- NHRA SuperNationals
 

Jack,

Great reports as usual, keep it up even though your diet might be a little lite this weekend without Uncle Buck and George D. and the S/G racers to keep the energy level up with all the great food! By the way, are you coming to Cecil for the MASGA race and the pig roast in July? Good luck this weekend and be safe!

Re: Live from Englishtown -- NHRA SuperNationals
 

Good morning and welcome to day 3 (its really day 2 because of the rain) -- just like they have been calling it all week here it is -- partly cloudy with the Sun peeking thru in spots - warm temps already (low 70's) and the outlook for today is terrific .

Those who were in attendance last evening got to witness some great racing in the Sportsman ranks and even before that the Pro's put on a heck of a Friday nite show .Myself -- after my round I came back to sit in the stands around the 900' mark and it was super , just super -- the driving lessons some drivers gave to others was worth the price of admission alone .

This morning I'm told we'll start off with S/Street and move on to SuperStock -- when I get an updated schedule you'll be filled in..................

Re: Live from Englishtown -- NHRA SuperNationals
 

anyone know what engine is in the GT/KA of Ray Scardelli?

Re: Live from Englishtown -- NHRA SuperNationals
 

1964 Mercury 289 NHRA rated GT horsepower 233

Re: Live from Englishtown -- NHRA SuperNationals
 

As updated a schedule as there was last night, it's Super Street, Super Stock, alcohol, then on to the pros. Comp runs between the pro sessions and following the second pro set is Stupid... sorry, Super Comp (I can say that if I want), then alcohol first round, Comp, Super Stock, Super Street, Stock, another Super Comp, SS , Super Street and Stock. But then they told Super Comp we would run our fiurst time trial second to last last night and then they surprised us by sticking the TT between the pro sessions, so as the saying goes: Schedule subject to change.

Re: Live from Englishtown -- NHRA SuperNationals
 

Negative.
1964 Mercury 289 NHRA rated GT horsepower 220.

Re: Live from Englishtown -- NHRA SuperNationals
 

That is correct 220 Hp with automatic 223 for stick and 10 more for the after market heads.

Re: Live from Englishtown -- NHRA SuperNationals
 

Which aftermarket heads? That may be worth 10

Re: Live from Englishtown -- NHRA SuperNationals
 

Anyone know what happened to Vic Guilmino in stock? Did he break?

Re: Live from Englishtown -- NHRA SuperNationals
 

The actual wording is replacement heads. 10 more horsepower.

Re: Live from Englishtown -- NHRA SuperNationals
 

He lost to Joe Martens .044 over to .019 over. Vic was not one of the sixteen red lights in the first round.

Re: Live from Englishtown -- NHRA SuperNationals
 

Ahh, OK, Vic was listed as "NT" in the qual list, so I thought he wasn't in the field. Thanks.
