"Live From" Cecil County Dragway - NHRA Lucas Oil Series

[Jack Matyas]

Its been one long day for me here at Cecil - but at least it ended well as I joined some of my SuperGas friends for a little chow tonight - Tommy Goldman outdid himself with his shrimp in a skillet deal and while I was there I tried some corn on the cob and then some roast pork and then......well you get it - some fine eats indeed .

Besides fixing my Internet problem I also had to get my pit space repaired today and the nice folks here were more than happy to help out .....just check the photo .

Racing ? Oh yeah we did some of that today - how about Stock kingpin Jim Boudreaus' -1.165 under to take the top spot today in his '69 B/SA 69 Camaro or JC Beatties' -1.184 under in his SSA/A ATI COPO Camaro in SuperStock .And lets mention Bo Kenneys 165 MPH run to take the #3 spot with his SS/AAA Cobra Jet .

And then there was the husband and wife team of Bobby & Penny Bender facing each other twice today. they are both 1/1 against each other in qualifing .

Field sizes ? Who says size doesn't matter ? Both Stock and SuperStock are neck and neck here at Cecil with 71 and 70 respectively with a few more expected overnight .

Newcomers -Karl Martel showed up today with a stunning '69 Camaro A/SA in money red - i'll try and get some good photos tommorow .

And did you notice dept. - here's a first (maybe) - seven (count 'em 7) different females driving in Stock today.......it just ain't a mans world anymore boys - get used to it .

Sorry I didn't get more photos today but I'll do better tomorrow .
