Live from Las Vegas -- NHRA LucasOil Series

[Jack Matyas]

Hey gang -- Its been a very , very long day and night as I just a few moments ago got back to my hotel .Sorry I didn't get to post much today but during my first round match-up she just blowed-up as they say in NASCAR .So I spent the entire day and night trying to patch 'er up for tomorrow's second round -- not sure if its fixed but I'm hoping for the best .Good news is I met a bunch of nice people today who went out of their way to help out -- tell you more about it when I have more time -- round 2 in a few hours -- gotta get some sleep -----------later

Well boys and girls here's the latest -- got here bright and early (6:05) got ready and they had called us to the lanes for second round when the sky let loose -- they just sent everyone back to the pits and its starting to come down harder -- very dark skies . For those of you who know Billy Leber -- you understand none of this affected him a bit -- still sleeping and won't even know we had a storm .He is the one to watch as he's a terror lately and will fight to the end at Pomona in this points chase . I'll keep you folks up to date ......

Check your barometer.....the bottom fell out overnight..........

[Jack Matyas]

Unk -- As if the rain wasn't enough to spoil my day --27.46 barometer -- when will it end ????

PS-- it has stopped raining for the moment -- but they're not drying the track yet -- sky looks plenty bright a few miles from here and the wind has picked up -- so maybe .........

[Tom Goldman]

Jack, You're my hero! ....And a lucky one too!! .....A broken valve , no major damage ,AND got it back together for next round!!!!. ........Keep it up! ......Tom

[Jack Matyas]

Thanks Tommy -- Because of our efforts I managed to get by second round somehow -- but here's the problem -- the weather is as follows -- 63.6 degrees -- 30.9 % humidity -- 27.46 barometer and .18 vapor pressure -- do ya think you could e-mail me next rounds dial -in ?

Dave Layer and his wife just stopped by to say hello -- he looks terrific and says he's going on to Pomona -- can't slow a real racer down ...........

They just called S/S to the lanes for rd 2......

Jack,

How did you get past Coulter? His pics looked real good, like he was dialed in and an "R" in the window. I thought he runs pretty well for a stick car.

Can't help myself, a Cyclone guy myself.

Good luck and have a lot of fun.
