The Stockers get the good air around here. We run about noon, not real often less than 2500'.

Wasn't questioning you Ed, no worries!

This in car cam is Ron Morehead in his 82 Camaro GT/FA, Ron always puts on a great show with his wheel standing Camaro.

Re: "Live From" Atco Raceway - LODRS
 
Good morning - Yesterday was everything a racer would want here at Atco - sunny with blue skies and track that really had teeth - racers threw everything they had at it and still hooked .Today could be another story however - as I sit here enjoying my morning bowl of Special K I can see a storm brewing as its gloomy even at this early hour - no Sun and really angry looking skies .They're calling for rain to hit later this morning and lasting all day - fingers are crossed that we can get our last qualifier in the morning and jump into eliminations early this afternoon.On the other hand I may spend the day catching up with cleaning chores while its storming - its a coin toss that could go either way .

Racing ? Thats another story as the top two yesterday in Stock ( Ron Infantino (in his '69 Camaro Z10 clone@ -957) and Evan Smith ) are only a few thousandts apart and I'm sure both would like another shot at the top spot and then there's David Ficcaci a mere hundreth behind them so .....
SuperStock is showing much promise with one of its bigger fields this season here in Division one with 71 entries so far with Frank Modugno using his 97 Firebird to get the # 1 spot in his SS/DS entry with a fine -1.o46 under - but then there's Joe Garbarine right behind him by a hundreth and change with his '05 Cavalier GT/FA who I'm sure wants another try at the top spot this morning .

Back a little later with an update ..........

Does anyone know a run schedule for today? I know it's a 9:30 start with stock but I see Comp at 10:30 and TD/TS at 11:00, would super stock be before or after these guys? Trying to get some friends and family to come out today.

From looking at the car counts.....are you SURE that the national event is out west and not at ATCO?;)

Re: "Live From" Atco Raceway - LODRS
 
10:30 update - we were in the lanes for our final qualifier when the rains came - nothing huge but enough to stop things - we're on hold ............

Jack Matyas 08-03-2013 12:41 PM

Re: "Live From" Atco Raceway - LODRS
 
Well they tried very hard and finally got the place dried out - Stock just finished their final qualifier and Comp is on the track .Speaking of the track it again had big teeth today with no one having issues with it .

And for those of you who are wondering (or asked ) I'm no longer last on the quailifing order thank you ...............................Like the song says --- "with a little help from my friends " ...........later .

Jack whats the DA? Looks like a great 1st round match up. Gary Richards and Evan Smith. OLd school Camaro against new school Mustang. We all know what Gary ran at Atco earlier this year. Can Paul tune her up enough? This is worth the price of admission. Wish I was there!! Good luck guys Barry

Barry - With the DA in the high twenties and a storm approaching its anybody's guess what they'll run - but this match-up will be worth the price of admission for sure .I'll go with age and expierence over youth and brass ones ............. But then again we don't know how much Anthony B's car is holding so .....we're back to a you pick 'em .

DRC has the results, and as you can see Gary Richard in his 69 Camaro won the C/SA battle. Evan Smith had issues with the 5.0 Cobra Jet and had to lift. Gary went a 10.52 and also lifted.

Jack lost first round, seems like the gremlins struck again. I hope Jack can get it figure at the next race.

I have a nice in car cam from Steve Calabro - A/SA 69 Camaro. I will post it as soon as I am done editing.

Mike, I could not find Alan Peters to do an in car cam, I think he had engine problems.

Here are some more photos of the day.

The day is going well, we just finished up the 2nd round of comp and the 2nd round super street is running now followed by super comp. It looks as if the race will be finished by mid afternoon if not sooner.

Hats off to D1 crew and Atco Raceway, track prep was great and the rain was a non issue.

Well folks I'm sure most know who won. The internet service went from being slow to stop, so I headed home. Jack was there taking lots photos and will post when he gets home.

I do have one photo of Michael Iacono in his 87 Camaro doing what he does best, wheel stands and winning. This shot is Michael in his 2nd round win.

As promised ( not by me - just Kenny ) I got many,many photos from both Saturday and Sunday .Not exactly sure where to start as the Internet service was terrible at best this weekend and at some point I just gave up .And then there was my first round loss - lets just call it new car bugs and move on .But I took it hard and left for Atlantic City ......one thing is for sure - you can run but you can't hide .So when I returned Sunday morning there was Ken who said he was glad I was back so he could concentrate on racing ( something he didn't do well ) and the next thing I knew he was headed out the gate with me left to cover things with no Internet service .Some days its hard to be me ..............

For those of you who didn't attend this weekend you missed a great show for sure - great racing with an excellant surface to be on - super weather and lets not forget Joe Sways' famous soft ice cream stand .

Many more pictures coming ..............
