'Live from Rising Sun, MD-NHRA Lucas Oil Series -D1 # 6

[Jack Matyas]

Hi kids - Well if you're not here shame on you as the season is winding down and the points are becoming more and more important .With only this race and one more the chance to become a Division Champion is becoming slimmer to most of us .But then there is the possibility that we could have a repeat champ which if my memory is correct hasn't happened in awhile .Every round is being counted now .

Also the weather is just peachy - sunshine , blue skies and all that kinda stuff with more on tap for the entire weekend .All that plus the Cecil County management has the place looking great and are working on the track as I type preparing it for the test n tune later on today .Plenty of good pit space still available so come on down .

Back a bit later ...........

As expected the track here is good - the weather - not so much .Those who made a pass were not treated to good ET's with the exception of Steve Szupka who is warming up for Indy .

As the afternoon wears on it's getting warmer but numbers are getting better .Stay tuned - by seven or so it will cool down .......Just turned on my weather station for the latest figures - Barometer 29.60, Vapor pressure - .64 , Grains of water- 97.8 , humidity- 50.6%, - final DA - 2900 .

Test n tune ended earlier with everyone who went on the track happy .It wasn't fast but consistent as some were tuning for here while others were warming up for Indy .

Here are a few more shots from this afternoon .........

Good morning - And welcome to day 1 of the 2016 edition of the Lucas Oil race here at Cecil County Dragway .After some showers during the night the Sun is out this AM and we're drying out - hopefully we're start somewhere around 9 .Speaking of weather it's already 75 degrees with 66% humidity that will somewhat dry off as the morning goes on .The barometer is 29.60 w vapor press at .58 that leads to a final DA 0f near 2300 feet.

Later - I've got work to do ........

Because of me. After three weekends in a row racing, I had to take a break from the heat and humidity. We'll be at E-Town for sure!

S/S just finished Q-1 and Stock is coming out soon for their second lap ........
