I had to do a double take when I saw the headline. I'm speechless. And i'm not 100% sure for which reason.

Chris Bostick and Buddy Hull also went for wild rides.

A spectator was hit by flying debris and medivac'd out of the facility. Shawn was ground transported. https://www.shawnreedracing.com/post/update-regarding-nhra-top-fuel-driver-shawn-reed-after-sustaining-injuries-at-the-nhra-northwest-nat https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1EbcrDQQ1S/

Sounds like IROC.... oh if only Everham or Stewart could rebirth it.....

Remember when we had fields where every team had a ringer in the seat? Remember how those ringers did ad adapting to the cup cars? Can it happen again, sure. Will it - I doubt so. I'm sure the sequential transmission makes it much easier than the ringers back then had it. But I still think...

I finally got a hold of @fury, as I was. having issues even getting into our mod contact list. But things should be dealt with now hopefully.

Statement says the bolts were in the pan, they vibrated out. POS move by NHRA to strip the win for something not performance related.

That's actually pretty cool that they put Jr in the Dale truck.

I know you dont watch much, but Shawn Cowie straight-up hung the field to dry in the final. The first 3 staged right away; He took forever to get the RPM's up and I think he used 9.98 seconds to get the bottom light on. Screwed up the whole quad on the tree and he got the win.

Latest video - Magnafluxing the rear end gears

Spent all week getting the front suspension sorted out. Flaming River makes the "Ford Pinto" rack... which you then cut 8" off each tierod and weld on promod-style extensions that are 3" shorter than the "pinto" dimensions. That was a learning moment. Then the toe-in battle. We spent 3 days...

That was a neat video, talking about Mercier's wild ride and repair was a good bonus

So I did some reading up. It turns out this was premeditated. At the Warm-Up race in Bradenton, alot of people were wearing black shirts with #NHRASpeedCheck on them, and the NHRA and several teams were using it on social media since that weekend. It makes me wonder if FOX did this as an...

If anybody has seen the new IndyCar on Fox commercials, they are branding it as "The fastest motorsports". And Bob Tasca took that issue up during his first round interview this morning.
