We had two large storms roll through. The rain has stopped, but I think we are done for the day.

I have a different take on todays racing. I thought things went quite well. With close to 600 cars I think the staff did an amazing job. Until the Hemi car oiled the track and put things on hold for a bit... things were going smooth. I had no issues with Class or qualifying.

As far as the starting line goes... no issues going 8.50's on a 9 inch radial. It could bite me tomorrow, but so far the track has been good for me. I'm just happy to be racing and I know things don't always go they way we like, but I would rather be here racing even with issues.

They better come up with a plan B

Re: "Live From" JEGS SPORTSnationals
 

Well, they certainly need to start having NHRA people take care of the starting line and cleanup instead of the local tracks group. I liked the days of the starters knowing the cars. When good cars that never have starting line issues have issues....they would shut everything down and have look . Drag, re-prep, spray etc... We have lost all of that. That's all I am saying.....

Did Charlie Downings FSS/H car make a recorded pass today?

Did he not drive today in effort to gain the love of Erica Enders again?

Enquiring minds wants to know.

Rookie rent a help is WAY cheaper than Bill Floyd/ Brad…..it’s all about saving $$$$$. This is the same outfit that totally #@%*ed up parking at INDY in order to save $$ on ONE nights lodging for the few workers that handle the parking….

Re: "Live From" JEGS SPORTSnationals
 

Well it's the only game in town, if NHRA goes the way of IHRA then what? Just sayin'.

Re: "Live From" JEGS SPORTSnationals
 

Which Hemi car oiled the track?

Re: "Live From" JEGS SPORTSnationals
 

MINE and its not even there. LOL Phish

Re: "Live From" JEGS SPORTSnationals
 

Good morning all, they are drying the track as I type. We should get some racing in today, forecast calls for a 30% chance of thunderstorms, but who knows. Super Street round one first out followed by Stock.

Russ Campbell's Hemi car had engine failure and oiled the track in both lanes.

Re: "Live From" JEGS SPORTSnationals
 

Sorry for Russ, it sucks.

Re: "Live From" JEGS SPORTSnationals
 

Super Street has just been called to the lanes.

Re: "Live From" JEGS SPORTSnationals
 

We got one round of SST, STK and most of SC, and it just started to rain. Super Stock are in the lanes...

Re: "Live From" JEGS SPORTSnationals
 

Ken, do they have a dryer for this National Event? I did not see one, but I would think they would have one ?

Re: "Live From" JEGS SPORTSnationals
 

Jeff, good question. I did not see one, I would think they would have one for the race. The track is back in action after a brief shower.

Re: "Live From" JEGS SPORTSnationals
 

The rain is back, not sure how long the down time will be. We were at the tail end of Super Stock and Super Gas was in the lanes...

Re: "Live From" JEGS SPORTSnationals
 

Super Stock to the lanes...

Re: "Live From" JEGS SPORTSnationals
 

Rain delay for 3 hours then NHRA decides to not look at the Radar and drys track off for 5 pair to run down track and then it rains again.


There are less forms of torture used in war, how does NHRA get away with this torture during peace time?

4 min of racing till it rained again, how could the track operators not see this coming with all our weather radar capabilities?

Re: "Live From" JEGS SPORTSnationals
 

Well we are finally here! New trailer did fine! They are just now running the first round of super gas! Looks like it is going to be a late night!

Re: "Live From" JEGS SPORTSnationals
 

Are they planning on running the whole Sportsnationals tonight ?

Re: "Live From" JEGS SPORTSnationals
 

Glad you made it guys, I don't want to jinx it, but I think we will be okay for the of the weekend to get this race done.


Racing is done for the night.

Re: "Live From" JEGS SPORTSnationals
 

Done for the day.

Re: "Live From" JEGS SPORTSnationals
 

Having a good time is best

Re: "Live From" JEGS SPORTSnationals
 

Are you a racer here? Or just a troll?

Re: "Live From" JEGS SPORTSnationals
 

Don I know this doesn't help but I don't think you're alone. I watched 1st round of Stock and I saw what looked like several cars spin, there was one Mustang stick car that looked half sideways leaving but still managed to win.

Re: "Live From" JEGS SPORTSnationals
 

Thats what I heard no track prepp, I have two more time trials to make more changes but I think the track prepp is lacking ,I don't spin on a good track prepp

Re: "Live From" JEGS SPORTSnationals
 

Good morning everyone, it rained last night and this morning. It's not raining at the moment, but the forecast is for a few showers this morning, clearing later... It will be a late start for sure.

Re: "Live From" JEGS SPORTSnationals
 

Hey guys, sorry for the lack of photos. Every time I have time to shoot photos it starts to rain. Here are few from yesterday...

Re: "Live From" JEGS SPORTSnationals
 

Rusty Cook, yes that Ohio Crankshaft Rusty Cook was 100 % correct in recommending electric over hydraulic disk breaks for towing a stacker. Stop, do they ever. The Performax trailer has them and what I had with the Haulmark trailer was good but the disk are so much better. The disks are so much better in bumper to bumper traffic with some drivers practicing there NASCAR auditions.
I still have a few things to do to get it like I want.
It will be fun watching the race. I could use a day off.

Re: "Live From" JEGS SPORTSnationals
 

Thanks for the photos,nice to see my insurance man and his car . John Kissel

Re: "Live From" JEGS SPORTSnationals
 

Is it too late to post some stocker photos from Wednesday?

Re: "Live From" JEGS SPORTSnationals
 

They just announced the game plan for the weekend! Finishing up the JEGS race today. Then the divisional tomorrow and Monday!

Re: "Live From" JEGS SPORTSnationals
 

You can withdraw from the divisional and get your money back. If you want the grade point you cannot withdraw and get your money back!

Re: "Live From" JEGS SPORTSnationals
 

Thursday morning stockers.

Re: "Live From" JEGS SPORTSnationals
 

Some more stocker photos from Thursday morning.

Re: "Live From" JEGS SPORTSnationals
 

Thanks so much Doug, I know its been a struggle. We are still on hold, its not raining as I type, and I think we may get some racing in if it does not start to sprinkle again.

Re: "Live From" JEGS SPORTSnationals
 

Super Street are in the lanes, they just called Stock to the lanes.

Re: "Live From" JEGS SPORTSnationals
 

He is just a keyboard warrior who only logs on to bash any track he can even if he is across the country, and a sportsman racer from Arizona, I suppose. He has already made himself enemies with pretty much every drag racer in California by running his mouth on Facebook.

Re: "Live From" JEGS SPORTSnationals
 

Hows the race coming along ?

Re: "Live From" JEGS SPORTSnationals
 

Thanks Doug!

Re: "Live From" JEGS SPORTSnationals
 

We are just finishing up with Super Gas. The weather has final broke and it's absolutely beautiful out. I think we can finish this race today.
