Since racing was washed out, I guess you'll be visiting George D. and Uncle Buck for a snack or too!! Say Hey to the S/G guys for me!!

Things were looking up this afternoon -- rain stopped and the Sun came out and really helped to dry the place out .And even the track owner was optimistic --- Joe Sway himself was out on the track using the vacumn / sweeper -- this guy really is hands on for sure ( see picture below ) .Things were fine until around 9 pm when the rain hit again -- will it ever stop ? Tonight we were treated to a beautiful sunset......

Pairings for 1st rd -- Bialas vs Medeiros heads up -- Allison v Wendy -- Gray v Pires jr -- Martins v Adkins in a battle of sticks --Hawk v Bollman -- there will be a great many singles as a bunch of racers left tonight .........

7:30 AM EST---This morning we've been greeted by dark skies and a fine mist ...mix that with cool temps and a crosswind and its not a great recipe for NHRA racing here at Atco today ......guess we'll hang around for a few hours but like they say --- not good , not good at all .

9:50 am -- After a superb effort on the part of Atco Raceway and the NHRA staff Mother Nature won in the end as the event has been cancelled -- SuperStreet racers were in the lanes and ready to go but the misting wouldn't quit .This race will be run alongside the October NHRA Lucas Oil Race here at Atco .

Jack their is still time to enter Norwalk.

When you go back in October for the re-run, don't forget your snow blower.

Sorry about the long weekend Jack, at least they didn't make you hang around all day today. Do you think they will open up the entry list in the fall or limit it to just the people that were there this weekend? Have a save ride home

[QUOTE=Larry Hill;126477]Jack their is still time to enter Norwalk.

Larry -- After two weeks of rain I've had enough for awhile ............ besides if I came to Norwalk I'd just get a job on the ' paving crew ' ---- I understand there will be openings .Thanks anyway .........besides , I can't run AA/SA with our Trans Am........

Angie -- I'd be very surprised if they opened up entries ... but in this economy you never know .

Todd-- It was good on the part of NHRA officials not to keep us all day before calling it -- most got to enjoy Fathers Day with family instead of sitting in the rain .
