Thank you very much Ken and idk wtf these fellas are talking about..........

Re: "Live From" NHRA 4-Wide National zMAX Dragway
 

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.

Re: "Live From" NHRA 4-Wide National zMAX Dragway
 

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.

Re: "Live From" NHRA 4-Wide National zMAX Dragway
 

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

Re: "Live From" NHRA 4-Wide National zMAX Dragway
 

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?

Ron

Re: "Live From" NHRA 4-Wide National zMAX Dragway
 

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!

Re: "Live From" NHRA 4-Wide National zMAX Dragway
 

Would somebody tell Frank Maiolo that wasn't the finish line? LOL

Re: "Live From" NHRA 4-Wide National zMAX Dragway
 

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

Re: "Live From" NHRA 4-Wide National zMAX Dragway
 

Must have been Joe Castello, :( :( :(

Re: "Live From" NHRA 4-Wide National zMAX Dragway
 

Thanks for your updates Ken, keep em coming........

Re: "Live From" NHRA 4-Wide National zMAX Dragway
 

That is what I was seeing this am also.... Had work to do so I just left it...

Re: "Live From" NHRA 4-Wide National zMAX Dragway
 

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.

Glenn Treadwell in a Camaro in S/Stock?

Re: "Live From" NHRA 4-Wide National zMAX Dragway
 

Has been a few times this year.

Re: "Live From" NHRA 4-Wide National zMAX Dragway
 

8.00 am NHRA closed the lanes for Stock and called super comp!

Re: "Live From" NHRA 4-Wide National zMAX Dragway
 

Did everyone get there on time?

Re: "Live From" NHRA 4-Wide National zMAX Dragway
 

About time.

Re: "Live From" NHRA 4-Wide National zMAX Dragway
 

Only two singles, Kenny and Daniels were no shows first round.

Re: "Live From" NHRA 4-Wide National zMAX Dragway
 

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.

Re: "Live From" NHRA 4-Wide National zMAX Dragway
 

Yes it is-----Awesome car and really nice up close.

Re: "Live From" NHRA 4-Wide National zMAX Dragway
 

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

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.

Re: "Live From" NHRA 4-Wide National zMAX Dragway
 

With 425 Caddy power!

Re: "Live From" NHRA 4-Wide National zMAX Dragway
 

NMW was in Raritan NJ,closed in 2003

Re: "Live From" NHRA 4-Wide National zMAX Dragway

The in car cam is brought to by Dan Fletcher in his 69 Chevelle wagon. in the third round.

Ken .... THANK YOU for the great pictures and the waaaaaaaaaay cool in car videos!
Glenn

Re: "Live From" NHRA 4-Wide National zMAX Dragway
 

Did Dan win that round?

Re: "Live From" NHRA 4-Wide National zMAX Dragway
 

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......

Re: "Live From" NHRA 4-Wide National zMAX Dragway
 

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.

Re: "Live From" NHRA 4-Wide National zMAX Dragway
 

A few more from John....

Re: "Live From" NHRA 4-Wide National zMAX Dragway
 

The in-car videos are very good Ken. Nice editing and audio quality. Really appreciated.

Re: "Live From" NHRA 4-Wide National zMAX Dragway
 

Thanks Ken for your coverage. Hope to see more this year.

Re: "Live From" NHRA 4-Wide National zMAX Dragway
 

Thanks Ken for taking your time to post all these great pictures!
