The pollen is unreal....... everyone's trailer and car is covered with yellow pollen. Clean it off and it's back in 15 minutes..... unreal.

Good morning -- Today is not the day we hoped for to finish final eliminations as it overcast and muggy but in a little more than an hour we'll get going .With the barometer at 29.69 and temp in the low seventies along with humidity at almost 70% our final DA ends up around 2100' -- still a bunch faster than yesterday but it just feels sticky and yuck .And to make matters a little worse that green and yellow stuff is everywhere - almost seems like we on Mars when you look at the ground .Hopefully some of this will burn off till race time and it'll turn out to be a nice day as we planned .

Re: Live from Atco, NJ - NHRA Lucas Oil DRS
Here's a new one that you can't blame on me - we're on hold -- I'm not sure if that is even correct as we didn't get started yet -- here it comes -- because of too much pollen on the track -- no kidding -- this stuff is thick like you wouldn't believe -- and believe it or not the cure might be a good rain as you can't sweep this stuff because it sticks to the glue on the track ..............this will go into the record books for sure . More later ............

Re: Live from Atco, NJ - NHRA Lucas Oil DRS

Re: Live from Atco, NJ - NHRA Lucas Oil DRS
I think the finals are up on DRC, but I will post anyway.
Super Stock Lincoln Morehead or Bryan Worner Stock Anthony Fetch over Tom Kreeber Man, I never saw so much pollen in my life. When you got to the starting line all you could see was a green haze on the track with a narrow clean grove in the middle. Had lots of fun, went a few rounds and can't wait until the next one. Jack will be back later to rap up and he told me he has some more pictures. Congrats to all the winners and runner ups, we will back with live from at the Maple Grove Division race at the end of the month. |

If I were a betting man this morning at around 10:30 I would've bet the ranch against getting any part of this race in today - I really didn't see any chance of it happening - there was so much pollen flying around words cannot describe what we witnessed .Like everyone else in attendance today I'll be cleaning the race car / trailer and motorhome for sometime before its all gone and back to normal .
This racers hat goes off to Atco owner Joe Sway and staff along with the Division One crew headed up by Director Lang who didn't give up trying to get this event in -- every racer there this morning was affected in one way or another but these folks just keep trying harder and harder .In addition to everything we got to run the full quarter all day -- every class except Top Dragster which they shortened to the eighth just as a precaution . Just for the record it did rain this morning around 6am but only for a few minutes with not enough falling to measure . For myself this weekend has been a real roller coaster ride as I was the guy pissing off the cleanup crew by oiling the track on Friday to going rounds today - as I get older it gets harder to do but believe me its more satisfying than ever . Congrats to Anthony and Lincoln ............today was no walk in the park -- they earned it ! ! |
