Live from Englishtown - NHRA Supernationals

Stop it ! ! Before you even go there a half-a-dozen others already got to me while walking over to get my parking credentials -- and the answer is the same - I didn't bring the rain along with me from Pennsylvania - but it is following me for some reason . It is to rain here later today but that's it for a few days -- promise -Scout's Honor - I'll swear to it -anything but get off my back .

After what should have been a short hour and a half ride here that turned into three hours because of traffic and rubbernecking I'm finally in Aisle 22 waiting to be pitted -- good thing the fridge is stocked 'cause we'll be at this all day .

If you're coming South today Raceway Gas on Route 18 has regular at $2.45 and diesel at $2.79--and if you need some Pub grub or an adut beverage RaceZone in E-town is the best.............later

12:30 update -- OK - get it out of your systems -- its raining as expected - but just a little ....

Hello Jack.

Can you tell me if you have seen Bob Mullaney there with Jim Harringtons Camaro Stocker? He is suppose to be running it there for a tribute to Shoe but, last I heard, they were having some problems with the cylinder heads. I sure hope they can get everything done for the weekend.

Thank you,

John -- Haven't seen Bob yet but I'm still in line to get in ..............

Just when you think you've seen it all -- I just ran into Tim Worners dog Porter while he was taking himself for a walk -- no kidding -- see pic below ..........

BTW , the rain just picked up some steam -- its getting ugly

Thanks for the update and good luck this weekend!

Good morning - today is not the day we've been waiting for but at least its not raining - plenty of overcast skies with temps in the high fifties - and then there is all this ugly fog hanging around but hopefully some will burn off in the next few hours .

Stock and S/S are set to get three runs today ( S/S will get two time trials then first round of class ) with Stock going off first at 10:15 this morning if we stay on schedule .

They just started one of their Jets so things are looking up - I'll be back a little later with some news of the day ............
