Re: Live from Old Bridge Township-NHRA Lucas Oil Series
Good morning - And believe me it is good - sunshine / blue skies and a pretty nice day here at Raceway Park .Weather outlook is terrific so if you're on the fence my advise is saddle up and head on over .Temp at this moment is 77 degrees with 69 % humidity but burning off fast with the barometer at 29.80 and steady - DA is at a solid 2200 feet .
The Division One Certification Team held its morning meeting and now Tech is open but starting of engines isn't until 10 AM so cars must be towed to Tech that is being held in the staging lanes .Time trials will start around 10:15 .........

Re: Live from Old Bridge Township-NHRA Lucas Oil Series
Stock just got their first taste of the Englishtown track and most didn't care for it .The track was plenty slippery and what do you know -- welcome back Summer ! ! Its hot - humid and very , very sticky everywhere - inside , outside and you can't get away from it no matter how hard you try .Most competitors were an honest tenth or so off their normal times .BTW , the DA is getting close to 3000 ' at this early hour .
SuperStock up soon .......

Re: Live from Old Bridge Township-NHRA Lucas Oil Series
Former World Champion Alan Peters showed up today driving a F / S '62 Impala 409 wagon .......at 4200 lbs this is a challenge to say the least - but a nice car -- good to see Alan out with it .

Jack,
Just to let everyone know this car is owned and maintained by Ray Whitney with help from some of his long time friends. It is a do over of his 409 wagon which he campaigned in the late sixties. Rich Simone |
