Live from Atco , NJ -- NHRA Lucas Oil Series

Good Question Todd
Since they hadn't started any elimination rounds, you'd think it would make sense to open it back up to new entries. I hope they do.

I hope so too.

From what I was told no new entries are allowed in. The fields were set and they were not going to take any new entrys. Which is kinda surprising cause the car cound looked really really LOW. Not sure about stock or super stock but there was only from what I saw on Friday 2 single lanes of Super Gas and Super Street Cars so maybe 40 to 50 cars per class and I know I saw ALOT of trailers pulling out and leaving yesterday so who knows who might have gotten their money back and withdrew.

I backed up the record run with a 12:28 & that's what their going to put in the National Dragster.

I'm sure not a person would gotten there money back by leaving early. That is a big shame and a sham by not letting more people enter the race that was completey rained out the first time. If NHRA was smart they would let people enter. It might boost the entrys to both races by a bunch. Maybe they will reconsider...

I agree Todd, After all, NHRA is all about the money, aren't they?

I wouldn't just assume the fields will be closed - evreyone knows how rumors fly around during bad weather - I don't believe there has been any official word - maybe (hopefully) there will be something of an official nature posted on the D-1 website this week. I think it would make sense to open the fields up to additional entries.What ever happened to scheduling in a rain date?

Ang/Guys

They did announce over the loud speaker this morning....
"that the race was rained out today... will be run on friday of the october atco points meet.... the fields are set ... and so are the ladders".

When Tim Bishop pulled into the pits, Wayne Totaro and I almost went into cardiac arrest! It can't be Tim Bishop, "The Farmer", Mr. John Deere, it can't be.......but it was. Just hope it wont' be another two years before there's another "Farmer" sighting. The Ol' F-Bomber made a good pass in the 2nd session.
