I ask John Calvert if I could post his unfortunate engine failure. John had sparkplug go bad on his qualifying shot. It hurt the piston and scratched the cylinder wall. John traveled cross country to be here, and going home was not an option. With the help of many friends, he will be back racing tomorrow. The photos speak for themselves, yes the engine had to come out. Jim D'Amore from JDM had the parts, piston, rings and the engine hoist. Jimmy Ronzello was just one of the guys helping get John back into the program. With all the negative here on Class Racer, it sure is refreshing to see racers come together and help a fellow racer in need.

Ken that's what the drag racing family is all about, we may be a bit dysfunctional at times but we do come together in times of need.

Good morning - And welcome to day two of the Summernats here at Old Bridge Twsp Raceway Park .It's bright and sunny this AM and you couldn't ask for more with the temp at a crisp 63 degrees and the humidity at 46% with vapor pressure .26 and the barometer at 29.91 adds up to a final DA of 745 - yep, it will be good this morning ! !

In a little over three hours Stockers will hit it first and if they hook .....big numbers for sure .Ken and I will be back later with some pics of the action .BTW, one other thing - it's still a bit windy out there but now a crosswind but that could change .

Also - it's really nice to see our West Coast friend Mr.Calvert getting some help from racers who care enough to jump in and see him compete today - kudos to them .

later....Sorry about the spacing -still getting used to a different computer.

Most showdown cars were having trouble getting down the track as did many Stockers. We are done for the day in Stock, and the second pass was just as bad for many cars. The starting line is just not there, chassis setup is critical.


Super Stock was just called to the lanes for their last qualifier. I will try to get a Q sheet, be back later.
Question, how come that 8:32 pass isn't on the qualifying sheets?
