    For anyone that might be interested in what goes into building a top fuel dragster and how the different systems on the car works might like these videos that long time crew chief Rob Wendland made. Here are the first 2 episodes he has downloaded. The first one basically shows a lot of the...

    Ida Zetterstorm

    Only 2 more weeks before some new talent will be hitting the track starting at Brainerd. I am really excited to see Ida racing on the NHRA tour.

    Raymond Beadle

    I was just watching a few You Tube videos of RB and thought maybe some of you might enjoy them. He was one awesome guy. I was at his race shop and his race car trailer company Chaparral trailers in Texas back in the 80's.

    Final-4

    Let's see if we can let some of our bias BS float away for a minute and pick the 4 drivers going into the final race for the Championship. I think I'm going with the 4 above the cut line. Larson Hamlin Truex Jr Blaney

    Dom Lagana is finally out of the hospital.

    Who would have thought driving a nitro top fuel car for many years and making the worlds fastest quarter mile pass clocking 4.48 et at 338 mph in Michigan...that he would have such a tragic accident driving home from a race in Indy that they had just won just 3 miles from his house. After his...

    At the age of 24 has Chase Elliott gained a couple steps?

    To answer my own question, I would have to say absolutely. I don't expect everyone to agree with me but I think it is pretty safe to say we may be watching the next Jeff Gordon / Jimmie Johnson. With the popularity of Dale Earnhardt Jr and the driving ability of Jeff and Jimmie I think this...

    A vey bad year for the Snap-on team.

    What a bad year for Cruz Pedregon and his Snap-on funny car team. Between the financial hit from the pandemic and having a fire in their shop a few months ago that destroyed a lot of parts and made a huge mess when the sprinklers went off, and then having the loss of their co- crew chief 2 weeks...
