Almost forgot -- took this picture just before they pulled the plug tonight ........kind of spooky .

Re: Live from the Atco Doubleheader-NHRA Lucas Oil Series
 

Here's the skinny on today -- track prep is underway and SuperStreet has been called for a 9am start with Stock to follow .Partly cloudy skies with a slight chance of rain -- 63 degrees with a whopping 84 % humidity that should burn off if the Sun shows its face - that coupled with a barometer of 29.73 ends up with a final DA of just over eleven hundred feet .This day could go either way and we're hoping for the best as the schedule is packed for today .Later ............

Well gang here it is -- I just didn't have time for you today for a change -- went some rounds -- got some points and most of all -- had some fun ! ! Got down to six and "young gun" Pires put a .012 on me and that was that .But a great day for me none-the-less

By the way were on rain hold at the moment but as they say - you never know .......

Those New England guys.....trouble. Best wishes, you had a great day. BTW, it's been pouring up here all day---nasty.:DWJ

7:15PM - Its wet --not raining but dewie -- and they just called S/S to the lanes for a time shot -- what a waste -- stockers ran 2 hours ago and most lost anywhere from .08 to .14 --- it got that bad -- no air and no traction - great combo .....they probably should call it for the night before they send SuperGas out ..........

Mother nature has not been a strong NHRA DIV 1 supporter this year....Not much can be done to change the weather, so make some fun time with friends until the annual hibernation begins.....

Last night they did pull the plug before SuperGas made their run and those racers are simply in shock - why - they can't believe that this morning they'll still get their run as we're going to pick-up right where we left off last night .

Since SuperGas got deleted last night "Uncle Buck" and his group got cookin' and did they have a crowd in no time flat . BTW- they had a grilled/smoked ribeye deal that was fabulous - Ron (aka "Uncle Buck") out did himself with that dish .I wanted to take pictures but we all know those SuperGas guys are camera shy .

Congrats to Mr. Massel - long ride - long season - great ending .And he went out the gate last night after completing what he came here to do .

Next time any of you run into Marc LeBreque of Diamond RV ask him how you can get cable in your coach - he has the answer . His answer may take a few minutes so be prepared .

We start early again this morning -- 9am sharp if the weather holds out - at the moment its overcast but with mild temps - all that go fast air has disappeared and we're back from cloud nine .

One last thing -Kudos should go out to the Joe Sway /Atco team along with Bob Langs' NHRA staff -- even with the bad weather - crashes - oildowns and the fact that we're doing a double there is a good possibility we could finish today - well done boys ..........so far very well done .

They just announced that the Stock ladder posted last night is junk and a new one is posted .In the backround I can hear Anthony Fetch cheering as he was to have another heads-up first thing this morning - maybe he should go buy a lottery ticket this day .

I hear the Jet -- we all know what that means .......later .

Re: Live from the Atco Doubleheader-NHRA Lucas Oil Series
 

Stock round 2 stats -- 7 redlights - three heads-ups - H/SA w/Young winning -- D/SA w/Zane winning and B/SA w/Welker winning .Fetch had another bye as DeMarzo didn't show . Steve Calabro spun big again .Ficcaci had an earned bye .

Stock round 3 coming up-Heads up Between Adam Kier and Fletcher A/SA .

S/S round 2 up now .

Doesn't look like we'll finish today ...........
