live from Cecil County-NHRA Lucas Oil Series

[Jack Matyas]

OK - so here's the scoop - the " LIVE " reporter is now on the grounds and all I have is bad news ( so what else is new ) - its raining here at Cecil County with plenty of lightning along with it to boot .The last few days the weathermen were saying this storm would miss this area but once again they're making me look bad ( as if I can't do that myself ) .

I learned a valuable lesson on the way here today - don't use a bank parking lot for a u-turn ......nothing good can come out of it .I turned in and as I did I just knew it would be trouble - then I went around the building thinking it was an exit road - nope , went right to the drive-up windows .... starting to see where this is going ? I was convinced I could make it thru the outside lane and the coach went thru easily with about 6 inches to spare - but the trailer was at the wrong angle and it went bad from there -after what seemed like forever I got it out but left a "Darlington Stripe" on their white curb and my trailer tires .Never - ever again ............ And if you're thinking I took pictures - think again .

We'll see what its like in the AM but I'm thinkin' anything but dry .........

Almost forgot to talk about racing - I'm sure Ken wants me to do that a little - anyway here goes ---

Woody who ??? The provisional pole once again goes to Woody Pagano with his sanitary '70 Nova A/SA @ -1.02 under .I'm sure the rest of the New England All-Stars are proud of you .

Who says there isn't new blood in Stock - Jonathan Allegrucci in BB/SA
Neil Goldstein in B/SA
George Yago in H/SA
Dan Walleigh in D/SA

And in S/S I was glad to see Marty Reinhart with the ATI COPO @ # 4 going 8.80 - nice first outing so far ..........

Later .........

Where's the '62 409??????????????????

[Jack Matyas]

Good morning - No need for the trip to Home Depot this morning as the rains have stopped ( hopefully for good ) and we don't have to pick-up lumber for the ark .It would have been a long sail today to Brainerd - with the zoo there it was necessary to go and get the animals .

At any rate its still overcast here with no Sun peeking out what-so-ever .Today calls for everyone getting one more hit and then on to elims but it will surely be a few hours before that happens ..........and its getting very stuffy in here already as the humidity and temps are rising fast .Geez- I really feel the need for a shower and I had one a half hour ago .Tech will be open in an hour so if you need to ..........

I was reminded this morning that one of my "new blood " people I wrote of last evening - Neil Goldstein - was runner-up at Indy in the late seventies - welcome back Neil .

Bring back the "good ole days" when we went to shopping malls for tech - we just parked there and waited - everyone was happy ..............Can you imagine this many motorhomes and trailers at a local mall ? Later with some pics ...........

Opps - one last thing - would you believe the Internet service here is 4G and is lightning fast but I've got zero TV reception ..........

The Sun has been out most of the day until an hour ago when it became overcast and has stayed that way .Weather - 80's but the barometer is terrible so the altitude is now close to 3000' .Doing all the nineties stuff and then the top classes then Alcohol followed by some first rounds with Comp somewhere in there .Confused ......so are we .Think I'll take a nap ......Yesterday was long and hard and I'm whipped .

SuperStock out on the track now - then S/GAS - maybe then first round of Stock ......wind is picking up and ...........
