Live from Englishtown -- NHRA SuperNationals

Jack Matyas · 06-10-2009, 08:48 AM

Good morning -- After a short two hour drive ( plus another hour sitting in traffic ) I'm finally here and they assigned me as # 136 in line -- all this money and alot of you were right -- just another number waiting for the Pro's to get in .Not much to do today anyway -- once we're in maybe get teched -- I say maybe because it looks nasty outside -- like its going to make down at any moment- plenty of dark clouds in every direction .On the way here I realized that the ticket I printed off a couple of weeks ago from J.Petereson from the NHRA is still in my car at home -- now I can test this new deal and see if I can get in without a ticket .Just one more bridge to cross this weekend .Oh well .

I'll try and keep you guys (and gals ) up to date with the happenings here...........later .

Jack, When you get settled post which side of the track that they are putting the Stockers. We will be in line in the morning. Thanks, Owen

The holding area is second to none here at E-town....where else can you can you have trees and grass just to wait............Don't mind me as I'm brushing up on my photo and download skills........Sooner or later I'll get this right .

That's nice, Jack. Our here we either get dirt or a gravel parking lot.

Tony Janes · 06-10-2009, 01:23 PM

Now Floyd that is not true. Fontana, Irwindale, Pomona, and Las Vegas all have paved parking lots. You went to LACR to many times

Floyd Staggs · 06-10-2009, 02:24 PM

You're right, Tony. But our paved parking lots don't look anything like their paved roads with grass and trees around.

Floyd that is because it rains in Jersey, we have droughts.
