"Live From" NHRA SuperNationals Englishtown, NJ

We are in line, and there are about 100 rigs in front of us. They started pulling rigs in about 9:30. No rain yet, but they say it is coming. The forecast is not good for today, but the rest of the week and weekend look okay.

The schedule for the sportsman is a little unusual.There will be no eliminations until Saturday, expect for comp. For now it looks like Thursday ss will get one qualifying round and then goes to class, stk gets two qualifying rounds and they are done until Saturday. Super gas and super comp get one and another one on Friday. I could be wrong folks, but this the info I have for now. When I get teched in I will look for the schedule and confirm this.

Good luck this weekend Kenny

Thanks guys, I will be here all weekend with reports. The rain has come, its a steady light rain and it should be gone by tomorrow.

Below are the schedules for Thursday and Friday. I will get the Saturday and Sunday later, but you know it will probably change like it always does. Man was I off, the schedule is nothing like I thought

Besides the pictures I take, and I know they are not great, John DiBartolomeo from Drag Racing Action Magazine http://www.dragracingaction.com/ will be sending me pictures at the end of each day. John takes great pictures, can't wait.

Wow, only 58 s/g cars at E-Town. I guess many like myself have had enough and are sitting out the Nats.

Morning everyone, as you can see by the photo's the sun has not come out yet. They have been drying the track for the last hour, and it looks to be in good shape.

I don't see any reason why we should not be able to start on time today. The local weather is calling for a sunny day with a high of 80. The weekend also looks good.

As I type this, the sun is trying to come out. After my first round of qualifying, I will be back with pictures and hopefully something more interesting then a weather report.

Thanks for thinking of us super class guys Ken.

Ken Miele · 06-10-2010, 11:18 AM

My pleasure Don. They called stock back to the lanes so I did not have time for pictures, but I will later. I talked to a few super class guys and they said the track is great. Its a little on the humid side, and its partly cloudy..... temp is 80.

So far the day is going smooth with no oil downs or issues..... be back later.
