Live from Englishtown,NJ - NHRA Summernationals
 
Geez- Seems like it was only yesterday I was welcoming you to Maple Grove and here we are Old Bridge Township Raceway Park .Summer season has started as we'll hit tracks week after week and now I'm trying to figure out when I'll have time to work .Hmmmmm.......Maybe I can get a raise here at ClassRacer and not have any worries .

Today its lines to get in and more lines at Tech ..........And did I mention the "R" word ? Yes , some is expected this afternoon .

More later .....And maybe , just maybe I can get Kenny to help out a little this weekend .Lately he's acting more and more like a 'professional' racer .Wonder where he picked that habit up from ?

Yes sir folks its a cool cloudy day as we sit waiting to get parked which should start at ten. They pulled in over a hundreds rigs in yesterday, it should make the parking go much smoother today.

The weather for the rest of the week looks good, with a cool Thursday qualifying in the low 60's. Warming up nicely to the low 70's for the remainder of the week with very little chance of rain.

I will be back later with photos form the tech line.

"I'll be back" is a associated with Arnold Schwarzenegger - the non-Biondo terminator (wow 6 wins already this year 4 SS, 2 Stk)

Have a great race guys

Well Jack has to be close because the heavens opened up with a strong but short down poor. The rain has stopped and its still on the cool side with cloudy skies. Not many cars out but I did get few shots from tech before the rains came.

Need not to worry Jack, your boss is pitted right next to me.
I'll make sure he's working & not "slacking"....

OK - So you want to know - I mean really know if you're at the least expensive gas station in town - how can you be sure ? This is a surefire telltale sign - if the 'Fletchberg' crew is gassing up at a station rest assured its the best and the cheapest .And I must admit if I traveled as many miles as they do I'd be watching every sign for the best price .........Come to think of it I do ........Hmmmmm ! ! !

The Raceway station pictured here is always the place to buy diesel and gas when coming to Raceway Park .And no - the track doesn't own it .

And thanks Dan for the picture ....................

Probably the only place where they hold tech inspection right on a dragstrip.

That is on the separate 1/8th mile track and the tower is the old one.

They run Jr dragsters there on regular race days.

Englishtown is a very big facility...
