Live from Atco, NJ - NHRA PC Richard National Open

Don't have much to report, finally got my Shelby back to the track. I have been busy sorting a few bugs. I did get two shots of a cars that have not seen.

The weather for todays testing was super about 600 ft above, only problem was the head wind. A steady 15 to 20 mph gusting to 25 to 30 mph. The traction was great, at least for me and the cars that I saw run.

Racing starting tomorrow at 9:30 am for time trails. The weather for tomorrow, mid 60's partly sun with the wind shifting to a tail wind. Rain coming in late evening, but we should be okay.

Congratulations to all the record setters, especially the stocker dudes, Rod/Chris Butcher and Nicky Reiter.

Anyone know what they set the records at?

OK- here's the poop - Record runs will be held again today so teardown will be later on .And here is another twist - Chris Butcher -who set the G/SA record yesterday will attempt to set the H/SA record today and has a good shot at getting it .His dad Rod told me this morning that its just a matter of adding 130 lbs and with no wind today and bit of luck.........

More news - American Muscle will not be run at this event as of this morning .Also the CIC race will be held today .That and the Stock / SuperStock combo will not happen as they have decided to race Stock and SuperStock as seperate eliminators this weekend .

Tech is being held in the lanes -- and they'll call us very soon for the first time shot .

Later ........Saddle up !

Temp 61
Humid 24%
BAR 29.92

If I can get a qualifying sheet I will be sure to post.
