Ken, please, please ,please don't give up posting and editing from there.
You're the only connection a bunch of us have to learn what's going on.
DRC is o.k. but the time delay in reporting gets frustrating. And with no audiocast............. it's been a challenge today wondering who everyone is doing. You're a beacon to a "dark" world.
Thanks Ken.

Good stuff Ken . The Ron Matcham GT350 looks great.

Re: "Live From" NHRA 4-Wide National zMAX Dragway
 
Audiocast is now running............. of course now that the "PROS" are out.
Thanks NHRA. Classracer members: please read with heavy dose of scarcasm.

Frank, I will do my best but its hard to do stockers, if he is in the back of lanes I will get him.

Thanks guys, I'm just venting. I just want the thread to stay on topic.

I hope to have another in car cam for the final of SS/BA, it all depends on when the call stock.

I found another photo, don't think I posted it.

Don't know when they will call stock, they are behind in the program.

We used their hubs and a home made tow bar untill 1978 when I bought my first trailer we used to sleep in the back of our pick up or a tent way back when we could not afford motels.

I believe they were made in a warehouse on River ave. in Hackensack ,N.J.

Not that I want to draw your wrath - LOL

But aren't in-car videos a no no during eliminations - or doesn't class count?

Yo Ken - Thanks for the reports, photos and videos. I wish the hi-jackers would start their own thread and leave this one alone. C'mon guys, you're pissing Ken off!

I think you just can't have the camera pointed at your opponent.

DRC has all the qualifying up along with the ladder. If you do not know already the COPO is getting instant HP on Monday. It was not done intentionally, but this is a track that is deceivingly fast, and along with a strong tail wind, its hard to stay under the radar.

Stock is first out, starting time is 8AM.

Here are some more random photos from today's racing.

Sorry for the late report, Stock is over and there was a no show for the first three I believe. I will find out later and report back

This morning was not as fast as yesterday morning and there was no tail wind, many were off the dial 3 to 5. My day is over but as always I had a great time. I hope to have another in car cam later to day.

Super Stock has just ben called to the lanes.

Second round Stock is done and scheduled for 2 more and 3 more for Super Stock. Alcohol is running now, then Super Comp and Super Stock should be up after that.

Here are some photos before second round stock.

What happened I thought this was the tread about free wheeling hubs I need to know where they were made

FINESPLINE 04-12-2014 01:17 PM

Re: "Live From" NHRA 4-Wide National zMAX Dragway
 
Hi Paul, the NMW free wheeling hubs, tow bars and tow tabs were manufactured in Hackensack ,N.J. NMW stood for New Milford Welding which had nothing to do with their location. Been a very long time but I believe their address was on River Rd. I remember most of it because I needed all of the above like immediately and my order was late and missed the truck. The speed shop I dealt with called and got the directions to NMW and I drove there from Long Island and things being what they are , I got lost following the directions, but in the end got my parts and was able to tow my car to National Speedway that weekend.

No......dbl. breakout loss......No matter who you are it's tough to be out in front and make it close against a much faster car......

Glenn, glad to do it.

Good morning everyone, I'm about 200 miles up the road and don't have much to report. Just want to say what a great time I had at the four wide. My first race of the year, and even though it was a first round loss, its was still a win for me. The weather was great, the track was great and racers were awesome. I wish I could have spent more time talking with everyone.

As you can see on DRC, Byron Worner world champion in SS is still in along with Jim Daniels, Jimmy Ronzello, Peter D'Agnolo, Arnie Martel and Mike Skinner. All good racers, it should be fun to see who comes out on top.

Some of the Stocks heavy hitters gone, but there are also some tough customers still in. Gregory Rowe and Mickey Whaley to name a few along with Marion Stephenson, Jeff Hairrington and Kevin Skinner in his brand new 2014 CJ. A car that had no prior testing other than the two qualifying hits this week.

John DiBartolomeo from Drag Racing Action Magazine www.dragracingaction.com sent me some great action actions shots.... enjoy.


My next national will be E-town, its been fun everyone, even you free wheeling hub nuts.
