Live from Atco , NJ - NHRA Lucas Oil Series

[Jack Matyas]

What a difference a day makes -- today will be bright and sunny and Fall type chilly - but this is the Atco that most D1 guys and gals have learned to love over the years - to sum it up in one word - fast ! ! ! With the temp right now at a brrrrrr 53 degrees - humidity at 68% but will burn off some -barometer @ 29.80 and the VP dropped to .31 all add up to 313 final DA .

Even at this hour i've watched many new entries coming thru the gate - must have been afraid of the rain or just couldn't get here sooner - doesn't matter - we'll all get a shot this morning and Tech is still open .

It will be a beautiful day here at Atco - join us ........and if you can't just come by here and follow along ..............

What a super morning - everyone here is glad they came .S/Street got their hit without incident and then Stock went out - most were three to five better than yesterday - mostly weather related increases ,The talk of the pits is Tom Kreeber with his early Mopar going 10.12 in B/SA - well done . SuperStock coming up................

BTW , for all the naysayers - the track had big teeth this morning .

[Jack Matyas]

S/Stock got their pass in - most were like the stockers - 3 to 5 faster and
were happy with the great track .Many had fearsbut went away after seeing giant wheelie after giant wheelie . S/Gas out on the track now .
