Live from Englishtown -- NHRA SuperNationals

Good morning and welcome to day 3 (its really day 2 because of the rain) -- just like they have been calling it all week here it is -- partly cloudy with the Sun peeking thru in spots - warm temps already (low 70's) and the outlook for today is terrific .

Those who were in attendance last evening got to witness some great racing in the Sportsman ranks and even before that the Pro's put on a heck of a Friday nite show .Myself -- after my round I came back to sit in the stands around the 900' mark and it was super , just super -- the driving lessons some drivers gave to others was worth the price of admission alone .

This morning I'm told we'll start off with S/Street and move on to SuperStock -- when I get an updated schedule you'll be filled in..................

Negative.
1964 Mercury 289 NHRA rated GT horsepower 220.

Tony Janes · 06-13-2009, 08:33 AM

That is correct 220 Hp with automatic 223 for stick and 10 more for the after market heads.

Larry Munk · 06-13-2009, 08:42 AM

Which aftermarket heads? That may be worth 10

Anyone know what happened to Vic Guilmino in stock? Did he break?

The actual wording is replacement heads. 10 more horsepower.

As updated a schedule as there was last night, it's Super Street, Super Stock, alcohol, then on to the pros. Comp runs between the pro sessions and following the second pro set is Stupid... sorry, Super Comp (I can say that if I want), then alcohol first round, Comp, Super Stock, Super Street, Stock, another Super Comp, SS , Super Street and Stock. But then they told Super Comp we would run our fiurst time trial second to last last night and then they surprised us by sticking the TT between the pro sessions, so as the saying goes: Schedule subject to change.
