Live from Englishtown - NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series - Page 7

I had a blast at the race once again...there was some controversey due to a schedule which originally called for 1 tentitive TT on saturday and then eliminations.

They changed the schedule on Friday with no TT satruday and for the race to be completed all on saturday. I feel bad for the racers who came in saturday am and had to race with no TT but friday to saturday's was a crap shoot anyway.

Some racers went to Atco friday night to test and then straight to raceway park for elimiations after finding out the schedule change.

I thought it is was a good call due to the sunday forcast, I do not think I would like it every race but raceway park has such tight curfews that I support the decision.

The track was well prepped and I did not feel rushed, great weekend of racing here in beautiful division 1.

Now I get to go to my daughters college soccer game Sunday.... The best of all worlds

My hat goes off to NHRA for getting most of the race done in two days. I am sure this has been said before, but the whole NHRA crew worked there butts off to finish the program before the bad weather came in.

Its raining this morning and not sure if the last few finals will be run today.
Super Stock, Top Alcohol Dragster and Top ALcohol Funny Car are left.

I meant Superstock in the second round looks like 3 bye runs.

Raceway Park website says that, as of 10:30 am, they have rained out all activities for today (Sunday). I guess no finals.

Could be. When I left the track this morning, I was told that nothing had been decided for sure.
