Live from Atco , NJ -- NHRA Lucas Oil Series

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.

Final thoughts for the weekend -- Today being Fathers day a big tip of the hat goes out to the teams that consisted of father /son or daughter that were to race today with us --- John and Wendy Caliendo -- the Linke family - Russ -Doug - Jeanne and Bubba -- Howard and Michael Barsky -- Timmy Worner and his twin sons - Bryan & Bryon --- Al and Allison Smyth -- Sheldon and Michael Allen -- Bud and Greg Rowe -- Phil and Steve Szupka -- Billy and Don Pires ......and the list goes on --opps-- my longtime friend Ed Bednaz is pictured below with his son Todd...if I forgot some its because I'm old -- don't hold it against me .We should be really glad on this day that there is another generation behind us to carry on...........

The ladders are not on DRC. I usually get one, but, I was pitted way up the road. I would be appreciated if someone could post them. Thanks. Happy Fathers Day to all the fathers. Fortunately my father is alive and well at 83.
