Hi Kids - well I may be down but not out by any means - lost an engine today on my second pass and for a few hours it was a bitter pill to swollow but i'm back to feeling like myself and go on with things .Larry, i know you're reading this -- only someone like you knows the the pain i felt this afternoon . When an incident like this occurs you just have to suck it up and move onward . Yep , I'm in the market for a LS1 engine - lets hear from anyone who has one for sale .

First round tomorrow will go on without me in my car but that will give me more time for reporting - my new love after driving ....'till then .

S/S record - GT/FA - Joe Garbarine - 9.58
Stock record AA/S - Don Fizell -9.37

Jack,can you substitute cars before tech closes tomorrow?

Seriously,I'm sorry to hear about the bad luck.See ya in the morning.

Re: Live from Englishtown - NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series

The chance of rain keeps going down tomorrow. Was 80%, then 50%, now 40%. Time run today?? Please?

Re: Live from Englishtown - NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series

Does anyone know if the schedule has changed back for today where the late comers would get a time shot or are they going with No Time Shots for anybody & right into Eliminations.

They had Stock going out after the Alcohol Cars for First Rd., is that hold true or are we getting a time run this morning ?????

Thx

Re: Live from Englishtown - NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series

Good morning - As I woke up this morning ( and on the right side of the grass thank you ) it occured to me that things could be a lot worse so i'll just thank my lucky stars that i'm here on this drop dead beautiful Saturday to witness some of the greatest Sportsman racing on the Planet - ever .Even though its only 61 degrees out it feels nice - Sunny and blue skies and get this - dialing today will be a whole new program -- barameter is up to 29.88 and the humidity at 57% and dropping like a rock -- the final DA is the best of the weekend so far - 984 ' .

One of the reasons I was up early this morning is I kept hearing banging sounds - so I had to get up and look - you wouldn't believe it but at just after 6am the Raceway Park workers were just outside my window taking down the stands - not sure why but they're coming down .

Because of the schedule change the ladder won't be out for a few hours ( late arrivals will more than likely be put on the bottom with no time trial or Q-shot ) -- when it does I'll give you the latest skinny on the happenings .Later ..........................Oh -- I forgot - threw in a few pics of " Lake Englishtown " -- pretty in the morning ..........................

And to my friend Ed -- Yes , I'll drive someones spare Drag-Pak E/SA ...............I'm starting to feel like that ESPN guy - you know the one -- Mike Dunn - he's always looking for a ride ! !

Markie - Joe is driving his 83 Malibu SW w/ 305 2bbl combo -- fits q-r-t /a-- I believe - good running piece - will be better with coming changes ............

Re: Live from Englishtown - NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series

10:30 update - As of this minute Raceway Park has no electric power what-so-ever .The local power company is working on the problem and says it will have us back online in a half-hour or so ..............the problem is here on site .

Stock --- SuperStock ladders will not be printed for sometime as entries are still be teched for first round .

When we resume it will be SuperStreet - SuperComp - SuperGas --- then Alcohol -- then Stock -- SuperStock .................
