Live from Cecil County,MD - NHRA Lucas Oil Series .90 Style
 

Good morning from South Jersey - I know Keith kicked off this thread with his Charlotte post so I figured to try to drum up some more viewers for the .90 site Keith & I would handle the duties for the LODRS at Cecil County. We haven't left the house just yet as some of us had to work till 12:30 but, the gang will be leaving in about an hour for the quick 60 mile trip down to Rising Sun, Md.

I will try to do my best to get pictures and give you a ride along with what's going on at the track. Of course you can follow along on D1TV as this is a Fri-Sat event....seems to be the HOT TOPIC of this only being a 2 day event over the past week or so. So prob 2 qualifiers and Top 8 tomorrow and right into eliminations on Saturday morning. It looks to be a HOT ONE as the high on Saturday I am seeing is around 93-94 but, looks to be cooling down for MG next weekend.

Got here around 10 o’clock this morning, very nice day, great for testing.
looks like this weekend is going to be a hot one glad Rob is along to handle and better this thread

Some of you may not know but I have been at five races this year and been in the finals 3 times, all without a win! so I took my street/strip car to US 13 Dragway last Saturday to make amends and yes I did finally pull out a win! look at that really big check I got!!!!! Lmao
anyway, hopefully that runner-up monkey is now officially off my back

Got here around 2:30pm while testing was going on. Can say the car counts look a little down for this weekend as a lot of open spaces over on the hot side on the asphalt and some spots still open on the grass side. I’d say about 30-40 cars took place in the T&T today from Alky to Stk/SS to .90, it was a mix of all.

Took some pics but, having trouble uploading them. Maybe Keith can get them up.

Another beautiful morning at Cecil county raceway it looks like we’re going into the upper 80s today partly cloudy with a chance of thunderstorms in the afternoon and like Rob said I rode around a little with a few friends last night and the place isn’t very well attended so we’ll see if they came in overnight or this morning but as of right now not too great a turn out.
It was however great to see my Canadian friends back I have at least five of them parked over here with me and they all seem happy to be back racing!!! And if we thought our diesel prices were bad they told me there’s equals out to about nine dollars a gallon US.
be back in a few with the current racing conditions

They were getting ready to go when we had a few rain showers pass by all clear now and they’re calling stock up to the lanes

Re: Live from Cecil County,MD - NHRA Lucas Oil Series .90 St
 

Pretty decent first pass .023. 10.87 going to try to get some pictures of super gas when my phone just went off and said a tornado watch is in effect for this area, go figure

Re: Live from Cecil County,MD - NHRA Lucas Oil Series .90 St
 

Good morning everyone another hot day to follow. juniors are on the track as we speak stock is getting paired now, I’m getting my junk ready to go, time to go have some fun

Re: Live from Cecil County,MD - NHRA Lucas Oil Series .90 St
 

This is a different scenario it’s a 2 day race, they are going to try to get their entire race in today so no time run this morning. this is first round and they will run it to completion

Re: Live from Cecil County,MD - NHRA Lucas Oil Series .90 St
 

We just had an incident in super gas Dave Mueller and his beautiful new roadster got out of control at top End and ran into another old style roadster tsr car don’t know many details yet but that is the holdup.

Re: Live from Cecil County,MD - NHRA Lucas Oil Series .90 St
 

OK from what I understand Dave Mueller is okay but they’re sending the kid in the TSR transmissions car out on the helicopter to be evaluated

Re: Live from Cecil County,MD - NHRA Lucas Oil Series .90 St
 

Congrats to Keith on his win in the Top 8 race and the win in the event. Also to Rick Homan on his win in Super Gas over Mike Handras and Kent Hanley going back to back in the 8.90 class at Cecil with the win over Mike Robilotto

I have Pics to add but, my service was Horrible at the track so I will try to get them updated.

I've been following posts on Facebook from Will's Mom & Fiancé to keep an update on his condition. This is what his mom posted late last night:

"Here's what we know so far. Will is in critical condition but stable. He has some swelling in his brain which is being addressed and some pretty sever hand injuries. He is currently under sedation and will be until at least tomorrow."

So in our busy day to day Sunday, lets all say a prayer for this young kid for a speedy recovery. I have talked to Will a few times, he is a very quiet kid. I'm sure some of the Northern folks know him better with dealing with TSR. He's still young as I think in his early 20's who just got engaged last year. So take 10-20-30 seconds out of your day and send some positive thoughts his way. I can say he's at one of the best hospitals on the East Coast with Maryland Shock Trama.

As I said my internet stunk and to be honest, I know I'm a younger person...I don't always carry my phone on me 24-7 when I'm racing or up watching but, was able to grab a few shots:

If you've never been to Cecil you'd be surprised that it's literally 5 minutes off the road from I-95 - On a quiet night you can hear the traffic going by.

Here is the pic of the sign as you turn onto Theodore Rd, some pics from the track and the famous Hill at the top end. Also, a favorite place to visit with friends when going to Cecil is Old Smokehouse BBQ in Port Deposit. I know everyone loves Woody's but, I'm not a crab person.

How good was the starting line/ track prep with all the heat ?

Re: Live from Cecil County,MD - NHRA Lucas Oil Series .90 St
 

Dropped off a little in the heat of the day i think i heard 127* track temps. Mike and Halsey's crew do a really good job.

Here was the latest post from Will's Mom on his condition for those who are not on FB:

Todays update. Will had surgery this morning to amputate 3 fingers on his right hand and had a cast temporarily placed on his left hand as both hands have multiple fractures. We have received confirmation that his spine looks ok. We are waiting on the results of his ct brain scan.
