As promised its Friday and the monsoons are here -- its been raining most of the night and judging by the noise from the roof of my coach pretty hard .As you may tell from some of the previous posts we had a great day here at Atco yesterday with Joe Sway and Company having the place in terrific shape.Racers here in the Northeast have their pick of tracks to race at and coming here is all good -- probably why Atco has been "Track of the Year" many times .Joe's run all day test 'n tune was a huge hit with the racers yesterday -- everyone got their moneys' worth .Also thanks should go out to the NHRA and Mr. Lang & Co. for the extended time given to Record Runs -- when was the last time you made as many attempts as you wanted in a single day ? Could it be that Sportsman racers are very important once again -- sure looks that way .This economy has changed a great many things but we sure didn't see it as a way of bringing the Sportsman back to the front.............later as its off to teardown for me .
