Re: "Live" from Atco,NJ-PC Richard National Open
 

Johnny D --- You hit the nail right on the head -- many racers when they found out about 1/8 mile this morning simply bagged it and left .
Super Street had there first round after everyone had time trials and then came Stock .
Stock noteables -- Parker wins 1st rd after setting record ,Germanski outs the new CJ of Bollman ,Jimmy Whitehead ,after a couple year layoff wins driving for Dean Reibero , Bubba Linke gets his first rd win of the year ,Jeannie Linke beats Steve Sawka in his new AA/SA 69 Camaro that is x-tra sharp ,big headstart of the race goes to Clayton Wright in his U/SA Belvidere SW against David Barton in his AA/SA Belvidere with the win going to "Slo Motion" ,Joe Gabarine got a great light to win 1st rd ,Steve Calabro wins over a running out Todd Hoven ,and Slammin' Sam Murray got a win light in his new Cutlass ride.

More..........
Came back to my coach to post -- thought I would listen to S/S from here but I gotta tell ya -- forget it -- this announcer is no Lewis Bloom -- bring him back ! ! Sorry I'll get S/S next round.......

FYI, the rest of the race will finish tomorrow.. 1/8th mile (I think)..

Seven comp cars (we ran 1/8th mile too..) Funny thing is, 60 - 70 under runs to the 1/8th are only 44 under at best..

Still very windy, but supposed to die down a bit, but I think since they started running 1/8th mile today, that is the way it will finish..

Wow --what a difference -- today we have the Atco that we've become accustomed to -- sunny and very bright and even with the slight breeze its a beautiful day here .The weather specs speak for themselves -- 49 degrees , 44.7% humidity , 23.3 Grains of water , .15 Vapor Pressure , 29.71 Barometer with a final DA of -45 ' . Racing for everyone is to start in about an hour with SuperStreet going out first -- I'll be back a little later with some round action....................

Update -- 9:15am EST -- I must have missed the memo about starting later this morning -- in the last few minutes the "parading" just started -- I suspect we'll get racing in under an hour ......stay tuned .On another note -- many racers must have decided to stay the night and leave for home this morning ( guess its great food and drinks served last night at the Tiki Bar) .
