As promised its another dandy today -- more blue skies and bright Sun - just unbelieveable weather this weekend .Most fo you by now must have noticed that in the last few days not once have I mentioned or said that four letter word - no ,not that one - the "R" word -- yep , the same one many of you blamed on me each and every time it happened -- well this weekend is proof to you naysayers that I can be at the track without needing to build an ark .

In a little under two hours SuperStreet and the rest of us will get our 3rd and final Q-pass and then its on to elims .

As for action last night it sure was quiet here last evening - most like myself must have been dogtired and turned in early - that coupled with the fact of because of the great weather we have been enjoying the pollen here is unbelieveable -- plenty of Sudafed in this coach - don't leave home without it .

One thing I forgot to mention yesterday was that while hunting for my oil leak up on a lift I invited some NHRA officials ( it was the perfect time as I was leaking oil bigtime) over to inspect the oilpan / diaper possibilities on our GTO and its just not going to happen because in several areas this space is very limited to say the least.......my vote is for a bellypan deal - their vote is still open so don't be afraid to speak with them whenever you can about this important subject . More later ................

Stock just finished their last pass before elims and I really doubt if anyone moved up the ladder as the weather is perfect but anything but fast .The temp is 88 already with low humidity and also a low barometer ( for here ) of 29.70 and a final DA of 2760 .Most saw a drop of at least .05 from yesterday morning .

SuperStock up soon .......

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

SuperStock is out on the track - looks like most are .04 to .07 slower as its past 92 degrees and climbing . Took a couple of still shots just for fun .

As you can see from pictures below even the entrance road is better to park on than the sandpit .

Also pictured below is the ATI Challenger that is here this weekend only for a grade point and tech .

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

Stock is almost completed -- wish I had more info but between moving up and dialing I couldn't see much -- what I did notice was that most lost 4 to 5 from this morning and a great many high horsepower cars could not find traction including several of the CJ's and I watched John Shaul spin 'em big .....I'll be back with S/S . Here's a first -- in both Stock and S/S -- not one heads-up ! ! !

PS-- As I told you folks earlier the pollen here is thick -- check out the truck hood pictured below .

The rd 2 race between Stan Giermanski and Joe DeMarzo should be good. At the Open they weren't too far apart during Thursdays t'n't session. And there's a rematch between Jim Boudreau and Larry Pappas who also squared off 2nd rd at the Open.

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

JM, great to get updates and pics...never saw so much pollen, can it hurt carb cars without air filters.............
Nice pic of Périgny and his Camaro that has been with him forever....
Enjoy your new Motorhome and have a safe and fun race summer.
