Live from Cecil County-NHRA Lucas Oil Series

Jack Matyas · 08-28-2009, 09:48 PM

Good evening boys and girls - Did you miss me? Did you think I was not coming? Business kids ,just business -- besides it would have been the same 'ole crap -- it rained - then they dried the track-- then it rained again and they dried the track again - after that the Sun came out but not before they called it for the day-- see what I mean .Anyway ,I know for sure some did miss me - take Johnny D. for example - he probably had no one to banter with and was bored the last two days .And poor Eddie F. had not a soul to pick on him in my absence - what will he do ? Maybe Barak will write and complain about him .

Anyway I'm finally here and guess what greeted me--well you're wrong--you thought it was rain but you're wrong--it was "Uncle Buck" who greeted me tonight with his merry band of SuperGassers and some of the finest ribs I've ever had -- 'ya gotta love a guy who shows up with not one Bar-b-q pit on wheels but two -- count 'em -- two jumbo cookers and all the trimmins .And enough adult beverages to sink the Titanic again .

Saturday will hopefully be better than today as it was a total wash and God willing Mr.Lang and Company can get this deal rollin' in time to finish before Sunday night as scheduled .

I'll drop a few lines in the morning...........'till then -- nighty-night .

PS-- Just for the record - its 12:05 am and yes , its raining ! ! !

I just stayed home,lamenting the fact that I missed by a lousy .009 from snagging the Perfectly Strange
award.You do remember that run don't you?Nice talking to you at Tom's pit spot the next night.
Guess I'll be on the sidelines till the Dutch.

Well Jack, its not raining here in Bowling Green. Ok, so maybe it did yesterday till about noon and then everyone got one run before they went into their Sportsnats rainout race from earlier in the year. They also had super class shootout. I runner-upped and by 11:30 was quite tired and couldn't see any more. Last I heard, they were still racing and all I know is that Edmond Richardson was in the final with both his Stock and SC cars. Not sure who won as the The only thing I was watching was the backs of my eyelids.

Eddie, I've been dying to use this, so...

Can't believe it but no rain what-so-ever has fallen this morning (OK - maybe a couple drops here and there). That being said final prep work is bein done on the track and they've called SuperStreet to the lanes .................And the fog - well it speaks for itself and hopefully will burn off .

Times being what they are even Cecil County is trying to squeeze every bit of use out of their equipment ,,,,,,,,

Jack, keep the reports coming. On Thursday I hated my job beacause I was stuck at work. Friday I was thanking my job for not having to make the trip to Cecily Cty in the rain. Oh the emotions... Rumor has it there was a George Cottell sighting. Please confirm. Good luck to all who made the trip and hope you get the race in.

Jack,
You should have gotten a pic of the back of the truck, there is enough glue caked up on the back to resurface the track 20x times over. Thanks for the reports once again..
