NHRA Englishtown--SUNDAY!!!!!!
Driving to Old Bridge Township Raceway Park, we saw some wet pavement and ran through some fog en route. Temperatures are in the low to mid 60's and skies are grey. If this holds up--there will be some big times from the Pro Stock cars, and of course the Nitro Top Fuel and Funny Cars in their eliminations. We suspect that the sunny conditions that are prevalent on the west side of Interstate 95 will appear right on cue this afternoon at Englishtown.
The hospitality area meet and greets continue right up until it's time for the pro categories to go to the line and all the pre race ceremony is finished.
One of the pre race ceremonies we'll watch with interest is the public acknowledgement of the US Army Birthday. It's Flag Day, too. Which brings me to a point of personal privilege:
When you see the Stars and Stripes, please remember the men and women who served under that flag, and those of them who made the ultimate sacrifice. Please also remember the men and women who now wear the Army Combat Uniform--it is their service, and the freedom it protects, which lets us live our way of life in the way we choose to. They do something that 98 1/2 per cent of the population of this country cannot or will not do--and that is to serve in the active defense of this country.
We'll blog a few snapshots of the Pro winners later--Tweets at MSRnet will get updates.
