Live from Atco , NJ - NHRA Lucas Oil Series

[Ken Kopecky]

Jack - you had to tell the world that I found a new way to lose. I dialed an 11.73 instead of a 10.73 and didn't realize it until after the burnout and it was too late at that point. After running 11.0s all day, I just took the last 2 numbers off and put the 73 on the window. So I don't know the difference between a 1 and a 0. Talk about peddling it. I did all I could to scrub off 1 second and let me tell you, it's not easy.

Jack the 55 Chevy has been running IHRA stock for a year or so....They went 13.22 best in P/SA last year. I would say they had something to do with NHRA dropping back from 1960 to 1955. (like IHRA)

Yes the right lane was extremely tight. I went from .020 left lane to .002 and -.005 in right lane. My MPH was faster to the 1/8th and 1/4 on both runs in the right lane but my ET was 2 hundredths quicker in the left lane. You tell me..

Also, there were about 10 consecutive right lane red lights in R2 of stock.

Funny thing . . . I found the opposite to be the case. . . . I though the left was tighter.... my RT's were about hundreth slower in the right lane. . . so who knows!

A lot of the SG racers found the same thing, the right lane was .02 quicker in Reaction time.
My R/T's are usually very consistant,and I was always .02 slower in the Left lane.
We video every run ,and frame by frame showed the car was hitting the tree at the same time in both lanes.
Since our cars typically go straight up before going foward, it had to be a difference in beam height .
I've always found the lanes to be really close at Atco ,so this was a little suprising.
I noticed a really high number of redlights and also really poor reaction times during the first round of S/SS elims.

Like they say -"Bo knows" - thanks Bo - looks like my late loss was my wifes' fault not mine ............I told her I didn't want to go to Atlantic City ............

Here is the heads-ups between Jack and Kenny.

[Doug Blackley]

Careful going there Jack..you may lose way more atta boy points than you gained from her lol.

[Joe DeMarzo]

The right lane was really tight, I did everything I know to slow the car down and still went -.011 red when I thought I was late (.050plus). Oh well that's racing.

Jack no comment, know what i mean.

I had a blast at the races, there were some great races & some heads up racing in stock and super stock. If anyone thinks this is just a bracket race bring your A game to D-1 and lets see what you have.

It was great (due to he weather) that D-1 decided to run the race all on saturday. THANK YOU!
