Here’s our second gallery from the Bash!
(Words and Photos by Joe Grippo) This post is coming in around Christmas and New Year’s Day, but the subject matter happened earlier this year at Halloween. This was the last race of the 2022 racing season for me and my Mustang. We made the trek across the Walt Whitman Bridge from Pennsylvania into New Jersey and headed to Atco Dragway for the Halloween Bash. This was part of the Northeast Index Racing Series, featuring heads-up classes including 8.50, 10.00, 11.50, and 12.50 index classes.
Also, on tap were dial-in classes Top Sportsman and Pro Dial. I raced in Pro Dial, which is a .500 pro tree, dial your own class with 5 grand to the winner. We had a solid turnout of racers, and fierce competition across all the classes.
Cool temps and blue skies along with a sticky Atco dragstrip made for a great way to finish out our 2022 campaign. I had a 3rd round exit but had a ton of fun.
Check out the photos for a glimpse of what showed up, race cars and otherwise.

Nice rig, Joe, that Mustang seems plenty stout.
Thanks! I guess I should have mentioned the on track shots of the Mustang were from my brother Dan and Atco track photographer Dave Milcarek.
