Live from Atco -- Lucas Oil Series

Jack Matyas · 06-12-2008, 08:21 AM

Well its Thursday morning-- very sunny at 8am with the temp at a nice 72 , 66% humitity , barometer at 30.27 and the altitude at 815 on Jacks' TAG .We pulled in last night at 11pm just as they were closing the gates and we were the last rig to be left in .Would have been here sooner but Jack had to shop for groceries at the Giant and him shopping is like watching grass grow (good thing he doesn't use coupons on the road or we'd still be there) .
Today is test and tune at 10 am to 4pm with NHRA tech all day..........more later .
PS--If you're coming today better hurry -- pits are pretty full already ! Rigs are already parked outside the gates .

Top Stock - -Semi's -- Steve Ficacci over Biondo who spun 'em big --- 10.16 for the win. Boudreau makes an easy single into the final .Both lanes of the track are equally bad--its a coin toss . Debbie

Bucky Hess is supposed to be there debuting his beautiful new Cuda. Any news on how the maiden voyage is going?
