Jack is correct, there was track rental today. A few Stockers and Super Stockers along with some no time cars and bikes rented the track today.

Todd Hoven ran some mid 10.50's in D/SA. Jim Boudreau ran some 9.80's in B/SA. Jonathan Allegrucci was testing his Drag V10 and ran some mid 8.80's I have a few videos to edit and I will upload later.

Here are some shots of the cars testing today. As you can see from the first photo, Atco has a new burnout pad.

Jim, a few of the teams that I talked to said it was about a 1000ft, temps were in the upper 60's.

Here are the videos I took today, the first one is a little shaky, still trying to figure out this new camera. Check out the last photo, any of you know why Todd Hoven has a keyed lock on the front fender of his Firebird.

I'll take a guess that the key lock on fender is for an "old school" alarm system.

Ken, on Todd's car, it puts it in "VALET" mode when the AHFS is active.

It looks like an Alarm that was on some older corvettes from the factory.

Question Re: Live from the NHRA PC Richard National Open @ Atco Racew
Good morning all - The expected rain hasn't arrived and has now been pushed back to sometime this afternoon according to the TV weather forecasters this AM which is really great news to us as most figured today was a total washout .The Sun is trying hard to burn thru the clouds and may win out soon.

Me? I'm going to enjoy a cup of tea and start getting ready for some racing today .....

Later ....After I find out if the schedule has been altered .
