Default Re: "Live From" NHRA SuperNationals Englishtown, NJ

Unfortunately there was a fatality here, and the track has been down for some time. Racing will start at 4:00 starting with Motorcycle.

Super Gas and Comp are done for the day. Super Stock and Super Comp are schedule to run later, but that could change.

Its tough when you loose someone at the track, its very quite, somber like.

I will post more details later. I think we would all agree that the family comes first and I would not want to post rumors or speculate on such a tragedy.

As I type this, NHRA has released the name of the driver. Neal Parker age 58 died of injuries when his Alcohol Funny car did not stop and hit the retaining devices. Condolences to his family.
