Live from Reading,PA - NHRA PEP BOYS Nationals

[Jack Matyas]

Hi gang - Yes, I've a little lax but it's been a very,very busy weekend .First off give the Koretsky's their due - the place looks fab and things are running smoothly .Then their is the NHRA - even with less people to work with they are getting it done and done well .For quite some time we the Stock / Superstock crowd have been asking for more checking of competitors and although we hate to see racers get tossed - the NHRA tech folks are trying to get things right .

And then thanks to the fans , racers and crew people that are attending this race - this is only Saturday and the place is jammed .Downside is there is plenty of room in the fields to add another 10 or so to the quotas next year.This is a very popular race here in the Northeast and many good racers are shut out.

And then there was the fan who came by and took some photos of my car - he asked how much fun it is to drive and I told him it was plenty fun but spending time with friends I've known for decades is even more . Nuff said .....

Later ........
