Live from New England Dragway -NHRA Lucas Oil Series

[Jack Matyas]

Good morning - No trip to New England Dragway would be complete without going to Hampton Beach for some fresh 'lobsta' and this year was no different .Both Mackeys and Browns were open for business and it was decided that it would be Mackeys again this trip .And the trip home was almost as good - seeing some of the summer cottages ( as the're called) along the coast line was almost unbelieveable - it's really how the other half live !!!!! And plenty of thanks go out to my longtime friend Bill Shurla for the transportation and tour .

This AM the temp is now at a friendly and sunny 76 degrees but rising fast with 52% humidity along with a 29.71 barometer reading and a final DA of just over 2100 ' with a slight sideways breeze .A fast day?? Nope - by the time we get out on the 1320 it'll be ugly for sure .

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

But it will be much faster there than Coloumbus which Baro is 29.1 and DA is 2900 ft CSI just suck it up and race. After all it is the same for everyone there!

Stock got their first qualifier in - but not without splitting it into two sessions - got halfway thru when we got a rain squall - and after an hour we got the second half in .S/S is about to run .

Post some pics after I download - with the storm service is terrible .Weather -90 degrees -43% -29.67 bar - 3042 DA
Later ...

Thanks for the reports and cool photos!

Round two of Stock and S/S qualifying went well but the track had its moments because of the 130 degree track temperature.Made it interesting for the high horsepower cars ......
