"Live From" Summernationals - Englishtown, NJ

[Jack Matyas]

Good morning - well its a much better deal here at Raceway Park today - even at this hour the temps are only around seventy with a slight breeze - alot nicer than yesterday that turned out to be an oven .

Racing ? I wish I could tell you how terrific it was but the truth is most are looking to just get down the track and not overpower it .I've never seen so many lining up on the starting line " out of the groove " and most with great results .Even the lower horsepower cars were smokin' em - something we rarely see .I witnessed several LT1 powered cars with huge amounts of smoke coming off their tires a few feet out .Most of us don't want to hear it but getting traction with 140 plus degrees of track temperature can't be easy .

In a few hours we'll start up again with Stock and S/S that are in round three .............
