Thanks for the reports Jack.

For the late arrivers......Is there any idea how late they will run today (cutoff at 5 or 6pm)?

Any idea what time tech closes today?

Also, is alcohol dragster and fc there this weekend?

I know Atco has a late curfew on Friday night, I think either 11 or 11:30 cause they normally have street night there on Fridays and it's a ZOOOO!!!! Tom yes TA/FC and TA/D are there but not T/S and T/D.

Update 2:20 pm -- Still scraping -- officials are hard at work trying to get the track in shape .Others as pictures will tell are just taking it easy - and yet even others are caught with their mouths open -- its just one of those days ........click on to enlarge .

Yo Jack , I didn't know you retired ? Did you just go to Atco after Englishtown or did you breeze by the dealership and check in ? Could I get an order of your fried chicken with a side a mushrooms and zuccini to go please .

Jack, Go tell Buck to wake up! He has a grill that needs tending!

Jack Matyas · 06-19-2009, 03:42 PM

Unbelieveable but true -- the Sun is out -- S/C and S/S got their runs in and S/G is on the track as I type....looks as if we're going to get a second run in tonight.....depends on how the alcohol cars do .

This afternoon Tim Bishop showed up with his F-Bomb B/S Firehawk -- nice piece -- he hasn't been seen much lately . Also pictured during S/S is Johnny D ( in red shirt ) up on a perch taking shots in the bleach box .....
Even though it was a four hour delay Joe Sways guys and the NHRA crew scraped from the burnout to the 660' mark --no easy feat for sure ..and boy oh boy did the track have 'teeth' when they were done.....

Almost forgot -- two records set the first leg -- SS/CA -- Oakes -- 9.02 P/S Cokinos 12.36 .
Pudgie -- I'll put your food order in -- wait at your garage door --might be awhile .And I hope you enjoy the last picture in the group . Ya' shoulda' came .........Also pictured is 'Uncle Buck' -- this time awake and preparing one of his masterpieces and finally we see Bucky Hess multi-tasking........wonder who he is talking with ?
