Happy Sunday boys and girls - I couldn't let this thread go away without telling all of you my thoughts of how this race went .In my humble opinion this was one of Division One's and Atco Raceway's finest hours . Considering we had plenty of wind , rain and even some low temps they managed to get it off in record time and most of us got home Saturday night so we could relax today .Cudo's to both teams ......

Things we haven't talked about yet ----- How about the Connecticut flash - Fast Eddie Bednaz with his freshly painted Tuxedo black '69 big block Nova B/S winning 'Best Appearing Car' .Or we could talk about not needing a fast car to win races - just look at our S/S winner Larry Jewell who could only manage going sixty under in his 'lil red Corvette while winning or the runner-up to him - Richard Kay in his ice-box white '69 Valiant who went a best of 4 tenths under .Really ?? You bet both of them were driving well .

And then there was the David and Goliath CIC race between Bongiovanni and Szupka - you can't script stuff like that .

And then there's Ron Dicks - we all know him from the lanes at Raceway Park - who lives in Perkasie , PA - thats right - Perkasie - the former hometown of Vargo Dragway .Or former racer Jerry Noonan from Monroe Twsp ,NJ ( can't guess where Monroe Twsp is ) showing up in a fresh Camaro COPO .

And we could talk about Ron Infantino's orange pearl '69 Camaro .....I could go on and on but it was some event - you had to be there .But if you weren't ....don't miss next year ! ! !
