While all you racers in New Jersey are sweating with that heat advisory the racers at Earlville this morning were dressed like they were going to a fall football game.

It's nice here ...... Even a little chilly.

..it was fun staying today in the heat, and worth it, nice to see a lot of 'my guys' going rounds.Tom O'loughlin, (red light win but also nailed the dial) Ken Robinson, Lou Centalonza (set a stock record in '76) and of course Jack Maytas getting it done!... except for Joe the Greek, track wasn't friendly for rowing the gears today....thanks again for the reports, best to all tomorrow!

Sorry for the late reports, its been a busy day and before I realized, it was 11:30. We were supposed to get two round in for every class, but that did not happen. Tomorrow the schedule shows Super Street out first, but that could change.

Here are two pages from today's action. The first two I caught Jack busy getting his trans in before this mornings qualifying.

Last batch.... time for sleep.

um' pics and angles..., i don't know, hmm, you guys in a helicopter some sort there?... or drone technology maybe sneaking in there...?

Good morning all, and we are in the final day at etown. Weather is supposed to be better today, but temps are already in the upper 70's. They tell us its only supposed to go up to the lows 80's, will shall see.

As far as I know Super Street will be out first. I found a few more photos from yesterday. The first is a Top Sportsman car, he definitely did not plan on this move. No damage and never hit the wall

Englishtown has a 3 level tower suite and you can get some good angles.

Good morning gang - In a little more than two hours we'll resume racing with round 2 of Stock .Weather ?? It's plenty cooler this AM and dialing will be a chore .

Stock should have plenty of excitement with no less than four heads-ups in round two - below are the ladders .

Later ...

Jack Matyas · 09-11-2016, 11:45 AM

I could talk about the great second round of Stock but instead i'll leave you to your own thoughts ....And I'll resume a bit later .

Jack Matyas · 09-11-2016, 01:29 PM

Rounds two and three in Stock are in - weather conditions are changing by the minute - winds- head, side and tail , temps up and down ,many double breakouts .And then there's the track where one run it's terrific and the next it's junk .S/S on the other hand hasn't seen traction issues that the Stockers have and even they have had many breakouts .

Ken Miele · 09-11-2016, 03:12 PM

In Super Stock we have 9 cars left...
Savino vs Jewell
Alvey vs Pires
Antonette vs Lisa
Franco vs Ewing
Rinehart... Bye
Trip... Bye
