Bob-- After some checking it turns out you're right -- must have slipped thru the NHRA cracks - I'm sure Mr.Wareheim won't be pleased -- thanks for the heads-up..........

Jack-I know you do the S/SS report, How about a report on S/G? I will be there on Sunday and just wanted to know what was going on with the 9.90 guys.

Sorry to be bearer of bad news. I know I sure would be pissed if I torn down for nothing.

Bob--I've learned that you can't ever shoot the messenger........

Prostreetbird---Here's some .90 news that I heard at Uncle Bucks' Bar-b-q tonight - some friends were busting a certain SuperGas racers stones tonight after he took the third time trial - be he wiped the smirks off their faces when he told them he went .010 and a .90 with an 0.............no names here please -- SuperGas guys are a proud bunch .And Jesus they can cook..............

We just got our final pass a few minutes ago - weather is at the most a hundreth or so better -- final sheets not out yet but it shouldn't change a bunch -- with the exception of a couple of cars that came in overnight .Final eliminations set to start in about 2 hours as they are behind because of a Super/Street big time blowup right down broadway . Car count as we thought not terrific -- this gas thing better get fixed fast .More when I get it...............

Jack Matyas · 08-23-2008, 12:57 PM

Just got all the paperwork in --20 stockers came in overnight (86 total) -wow- but here's the skinny- between Stock and the other catagories the car count isn't bad--people just are working that extra day to pay for things .On to the race--heard a new phrase this morning that I wish I could steal but I must give credit to my friend Evan Smith for it-- "Double Heads-up" -in round one (and stay with me here) Andersen and Christ will race each other both in H/SA-- right below them on the ladder are Eyring and Pires who are also in H/SA -so with two heads-up there will be a heads -up in round two --whew ! Also heads-up will be Bardecoff and Parker --should be worth the price of admission ----for those of you who like long handicaps try this AA/SA of Sabin will wait for the green while the U/SA of Ziegler goes off a long way ...And lets not forget our #1 quailfier (Gene Monahan) who can't catch a break ---even number of cars -- no bye for him !! ! !

And did I mention that Bubba Linke -- also in H/SA -- is on the same side of the ladder a couple of spots up ! !

Jack Matyas · 08-23-2008, 05:28 PM

First round had its surprises but none more than the contest between Parker and Bardecoff heads-up--Parker won on a holeshot effort after Bardecoff had a comatose .188 light .Other heads-up races -- Christ over Andersen ------Pires over Eyring ---- and Ziegler went red against Sabin . Other noteables include Fetch out -- the skipper gone--Supka is history ---bubba outta here--and last but not least the champ is now out .

Lets talk about who's still in --Zane looking good warming up for Indy ----Ficacci hanging tough -- Happy Harry hanging in from being dead last -- whole bunch of ladies still around including Wendy ,little Jeanie ,Allison, and Katie ...............

Super/Stock will run tonight yet --- but when ?????

Gary Parker · 08-23-2008, 10:15 PM

Hey Jack, you know brother Barry can tune it up. 1028 to a 1031. and a 015 light for barry. It did not fool me. good luck tomorrow. Gary

Hey Jack, how fast did Ziegler U/SA go?

Jack Matyas · 08-24-2008, 08:01 AM

With the Sun coming up over Cecil County Dragway it looks like we're going to be treated to another beautiful day to race .Eliminations are slated to start in just under two hours and after everyone got in round one last night they'll be ready to start again this morning .Besides being sunny the temp is already in the mid 60's with a little rise in the barometer and the dew should burn off by race time .

Watching a great many rigs pulling out this morning who lost last night - I'm sure they were anxious to get on the road -- you guys in D3 -- well lets just say that the D1 "troops" have started their march to your ground and will continue coming across the eastern part of the country ............Sure wish I could be serving under Generals Biondo , Fletcher , Zane, etc. as there will be many "Class Wars" to be fought before the show at the "Big Go" . Good luck boys ..............Opps --- boys and girls ! ! !

Alan-- Not sure how fast Ziegler went but he was dialed 14.14 and told me he would have run out anyway if he didn't go red.
