Kevin, I was standing on the Starting line when they ran the t/f final and it started misting as soon as the the cars crossed the finish line and it misted all night, and then had a hard downpour at about 5:30 am this morning. A lot of the sportsman teams are on their way to a divisional race next weekend, and most of the nitro teams are headed to Indy for a test session starting Wed. We, are not testing so i'm leaving within the next hour and going to the Kalahari water park resort in Wisconsin to hang out for a few days before i head on to Indy. With all that said...the teams that were still alive would have stayed if Nhra would have ran today.
I get that you guys have places to be and other commitments, but just purely from a fan perspective it would be unsatisfying.
Hearing Don Kritzky (left lane) has a broken pelvis.
I heard he had some broken bones.
guys on DRR just mentioned to watch the nitrous bottle go flying…thats what all the fog is as it shoots between the walls
I was just now bringing you the link to these pics. That was scary. Are the top dragsters not required to have roll cage padding around the halo bars?
NHRA's rule is the 32.1 (or whatever) SFI padding required anywhere the helmet may contact. The helmet isn't supposed to be able to contact the forward hoop…typically the #2 and #3 hoops have the padding.
Seen that was wondering what it was?
