Live from New England Dragway-NHRA Mello Yellow Series

[Jack Matyas]

OK, so I'm not really there as my RV is out of commission and is being repaired at R&J Controls ( Onan generator experts ) in New Jersey but believe me I'm there in spirit .That and I was looking forward to having some fresh 'lobsta' this weekend .Many of my peeps are making the tow up the coastline and hopefully they'll be keeping us informed with latest on what's happening this week there .

Jump in anytime boys and girls .....

Parking and tech went pretty smooth today. I got there around noon and was waved in immediately, no line! I set up and unloaded the car and I was through tech by 1:30pm. Johnny Gray told me there was a stacking line this morning but it cleared out in a couple of hours. They started parking on Wednesday which really helped alleviate long lines.

I had things to attend to and didn't stick around for Clifford's talk. Maybe someone else can report on that...

Jack - sad news to report, Larry's Clam Bar is out of business and there's a "For Lease" sign out front. The end of an era, I tell ya. I started going there in the early 70s when I first started going to New England Dragway. Sad.

Sad news indeed - i'd be willing to bet that most if not all ASRA members have had seafood at Larry's at one time or another .

OK, so boys will be boys .Newly minted A/SA racer Steve Rehm along with S/S racers John Canada , Bob Brunneu and ringleader Mark Markow went to a Wal-Mart shopping this afternoon and qualified for a ride on a shorty School bus back to the track ........Hmmmmm ! ! !

Good morning all - Welcome to day 1 - it's very damp but not raining with a chilly temp of 58 degrees with 81% humidity along with a barometer reading of 29.97 and a final DA of 495' .The 9:30 start is up in the air but you never know .

Keith - you beat me to the punch - over 100 have been picked i'm told for drug and alcohol testing - and no category is exempt - NHRA personal - FOX personal - and of coarse racers .Here's a new one - would you believe they have alternates ??? I'm told a story of a racer being told he was picked yesterday while he was sipping a beer ......
