Live from Rising Sun , MD - NHRA Lucas Oil Series

Good afternoon and welcome - What should have been a easy under two hour ride turned out to be 4 1/2 thanks to not one but two accidents on PA's Blue Route this morning .Other than that the ride had much scenery along the waterways coming here even while it was raining .Right now its sunny and humid with the temp in the low eighties and a slight breeze .

Test n tune is to start around 3 as they are preparing the track at this moment .

So what else is new - first thing to greet me a few minutes ago as I was working hard to get things up and running was that I spied the boss -- doing what he does best - standing around BS'ing .When will he learn ........

Jack, you could have come in on Friday. I knew when you rolled in it was going to rain, there goes my testing for the day. Like Jack said, the rain came down along with hail. It has let up a bit, but I am sure we are done for today.

The weather for this weekend looks to be slow, even for Cecil County, which can be fast even when its hot. The grains of water today were 105 to 110. The air when I tested was about 3400 feet, temp 92, bar 29.58, with a 3 to 4 mph head wind. The weather is supposed to be the same for the rest of the weekend.
