Live from Englishtown-NHRA Lucas Oil Series

[Bill Kennedy]

Ang, are u here yet???

[Sal Biondo]

Ang-
Some of us in this household are Met fans, some of us are Yankee fans... but tonight, we agreed, we are all Jeter fans.

Rich-
Sunday should be a great day. Have a great time! Yes, I think this is going to be the year! I am not at e-town yet, might head out in the A.M. after I get the weather report from Jack or Kenny in this live report section.. I am only an hour from there.

Bill
- I decided to head down in the morning - w/the weathter - traffic etc - I wouldn't have made it by 9 PM.
- I have to get the cage recertified so I will be there even if its pouring.

Sal
- I hear ya.... Jeter really is a class act (especially these days the way celebs and athletes act). It was fitting that he break Gehrig's record on 9/11. He deserves it... I mean...what could be better than being the statrting shortstop for the Yankees all these years.

see ya'll tomorrow.

7:30 AM EST ---- For those of you waiting for an early word as to today's weather here's the deal -- get on the road - it hasn't rained most of the night and isn't now -- seems like we're drying out - the Sun coming out would be nice but let's not push it .Wow --- I can't believe my eyes - there is a Security guy in the staging lanes drying off his four door Focus -- a very welcomed sight ! Anyway its overcast with the temp in the lo 60's but for a change looking up -- so like Bob Barker would say - "Come on down " . Sure hope I haven't steered you folks wrong.....This weather has been as fickle as a Gemini woman ......Later............

One last thing -- Today is Gloria Ley's 50th birthday so if you're here and see her make sure to wish her well .Today she'll be working the lanes so keep an eye out for her . Fifty Gloria really -- David is sooooooo lucky and he has told me so many times in the last couple of years .
PS -- Gates are now open and the first one in was SS# 176 -- you know who that is don't you ? Many , many racers waited till today to show up -- space is now filling up fast ........

Thanks Jack for the updates, I was on the fence about coming down and being a spectator today but I'll take my shot and come on down to the track..

[Bryan Gillespie]

Did anybody make a pass yet ??

[Jack Matyas]

Update -- 11:30 am -- Jet is out drying the track -- Stock is due out first then S/S .......Soon I hope as its getting dark fo some reason ............


12:10 -- They just called Stock to the lanes ............

[Bud Lefevre]

Jack , you could make good money if you could get people to pay you to not show up, you have some kind of rain cloud following you this year.
Kidding aside, hope you guys get the race in. Good Luck

Bud
