NHRA Supernationals / Englishtown, NJ / Saturday, June 12th, 2010
Now it's Saturday, June 12th, 2010. When we arrived at the track Top Fuel Dragsters and Funny Cars were already in the lanes for their 1st Qualifying session of the day.
The funny cars of Jack Beckman and Cruz Pedregon in the lanes.

Here's Jeff Arend in the DHL TF/FC. It's gotta be tough on him getting into Scott's old car.
During a break in the action we went to the Pro Mod pits; this is Chip King's Daytona
And this is Chip. Couple of kindred Mopar spirits.
Just your average street-driven '63 Corvette.
In the Pro Mod pits we met up with Barbara Troxel, dog Kota...
...and Melanie Troxel. This was a real treat for both me...
...and Stephanie. We're both big fans or Melanie and TJ, Jr. Melanie's just as nice in person as she appears in interviews.
Back on the other side of the track, this is Jeff Arend folding his chutes after his pass. Just a suggestion: if you're at the track and you see one of the drivers folding his or her chutes, stand back give them some room. I saw people practically walking over Jeff and almost tripping over the chute's lines as he was trying to do one of the most critical jobs of the day.
