Live from Englishtown , N J -- NHRA SuperNationals

Good morning - What a day this will be - sunshine , blue skies and a DA at this moment of 1800 feet .I suspect that will drop some as the humidity burns off this morning as its over 70 percent .My weather station is showing more than a tenth better than the Grove last Sunday .I didn't get lakefront property but it sure is pretty - maybe a dip later ! !

We'll start out this AM with SuperStreet at 10:15 followed by Stock .

Back a little later ........

An hour to go and everyone's chomping at the bit .....the Safety Safari is out on the track - scraping , spraying , and making sure we've got a great surface this morning .

How about this '70 Mustang .........Owned br Comp and Stock racer Erich Bollman

I've had the pleasure of seeing Eric Bollman's Mustang up close and in person. Absolutely STUNNING!!! and I'm a GM guy!?

Stock is done with their first qualifying, Super Stock is almost done. I see live timing is not work yet, don't know why.

Weather for stock was as followed, We could not ask for a nicer day. Very comfortable, unlike Maple Grove last week.

temp 81
bar 29.70
humid 36%
DA 2302
Wind cross 10 mph

Here is a in car cam of John Gray's newly purchased 69 Camaro. John purchased the car from Dave Lebrun.

Stock and S/S both got their Q-1 hit in - most were .10 to .12 quicker than the 'Grove last weekend .........no sheets yet .Internet service here at Raceway Park sucks ......

Stock is just finishing ----------- looks like Anthony Fetch in Gary Richards' '12 Mustang will be # 3 @ -.98 under .

Bo Kenney grabbed the # 2 spot at the last moment

# 1 up for grabs ? Nope - Ficcaci just went to # 1 and its over ...........

I thought some members would be interested in seeing the new Summit Pro Stock Camaro.

The in car cam is Mike Iacono in his tipical crowd pleasing wheel standing Camaro. Sorry about the placement of the cam, but I just made it back from my pit working on my car to get Mike. I rushed to put the cam in just before he went into the burnout box. Mike is first rate and had no problem with me jumping in to setup the cam.

Jack Matyas · 05-31-2012, 04:21 PM
