7:30 AM EST---This morning we've been greeted by dark skies and a fine mist ...mix that with cool temps and a crosswind and its not a great recipe for NHRA racing here at Atco today ......guess we'll hang around for a few hours but like they say --- not good , not good at all .

9:50 am -- After a superb effort on the part of Atco Raceway and the NHRA staff Mother Nature won in the end as the event has been cancelled -- SuperStreet racers were in the lanes and ready to go but the misting wouldn't quit .This race will be run alongside the October NHRA Lucas Oil Race here at Atco .

Jack their is still time to enter Norwalk.

When you go back in October for the re-run, don't forget your snow blower.

Sorry about the long weekend Jack, at least they didn't make you hang around all day today. Do you think they will open up the entry list in the fall or limit it to just the people that were there this weekend? Have a save ride home

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

Good Question Todd
Since they hadn't started any elimination rounds, you'd think it would make sense to open it back up to new entries. I hope they do.

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

I hope so too.

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

From what I was told no new entries are allowed in. The fields were set and they were not going to take any new entrys. Which is kinda surprising cause the car cound looked really really LOW. Not sure about stock or super stock but there was only from what I saw on Friday 2 single lanes of Super Gas and Super Street Cars so maybe 40 to 50 cars per class and I know I saw ALOT of trailers pulling out and leaving yesterday so who knows who might have gotten their money back and withdrew.

Jack,

I backed up the record run with a 12:28 & that's what their going to put in the National Dragster.

I'm sure not a person would gotten there money back by leaving early. That is a big shame and a sham by not letting more people enter the race that was completey rained out the first time. If NHRA was smart they would let people enter. It might boost the entrys to both races by a bunch. Maybe they will reconsider...

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

I agree Todd, After all, NHRA is all about the money, aren't they?
