Warming up with nitro dude:
When you're around it all the time, you get used to it.Jeez, what a trooper. You stood there for a long time. My group has to get a dose of nitro at every NHRA event we go to. I usually bail quick.
Thank's DUN24, we will give it our best shot. If you come out to the track your welcome to stop by and say hi.False alarm.. Just came on late. Good luck Nitrodude and the Bode crew tomorrow. I'll be pulling for the 16th qualifier in FC. Trying to get my Dad to cruise with me for eliminations.
Thanks, ND. Maybe we'll see you out at motorplex again or something. Anytime you are in the vicinity of motorplex/DFW, let me know and we can always meet up. Dad and I enjoyed the hospitality. It was my uncle and grandpa's first time in 20 odd years and cousin's first time ever, they were a little overwhelmed and didn't want to get too close. They couldn't stand the nitro fumes at all during warmups.Magnethead, it was nice meeting you and your family, and i hope you had a good time hanging out with us, and i hope you have a safe trip home. We have John Force in the first round tomorrow...i guess we will have to see if we can take out the world champ. We put a new engine in to go after him.
Thank

He was pointed right towards me at one point...I can't believe Force saved that one.
That was announced a couple weeks ago.He wanted to spend more time learning the family business.Morgan Lucas is retiring from driving? News to me. I need to watch more drag racing other than when they're in Joliet.
Hefler is tough to beat.our division 4 guys (Alvie Merril and Jeff Hefler [one of our local boys we race with]) took 2 of the 4 Summit ET championships. Woohoo!
Sorry you couldn't fare better, ND.
doesn't matter which one of the 3 it is. Think they said this is the 9th year one of the 3 hefler's has been to Pomona for ET finals.Hefler is tough to beat.
Thank's Magnethead... Bob left on John with a .069 to Johns .090 light, but, there wasn't much we could have done with Johns 4.03 pass. We had pretty good early numbers but then the drive shaft speed went to the moon at half track. Over the winter we will put a larger fuel tank on the car so that we can run the 105 gpm fuel pump, because the 90 gallon just isn't enough fuel at sea level.our division 4 guys (Alvie Merril and Jeff Hefler [one of our local boys we race with]) took 2 of the 4 Summit ET championships. Woohoo!

I'll believe it when I see it.Frank Manzo won TAFC in apparently his last race. Stoked I got a photo of him on his last pro pass.
Magnethead did a pretty good job handling the nitro fumes. Even after 20 years around this stuff i still need a gas mask.Jeez, what a trooper. You stood there for a long time. My group has to get a dose of nitro at every NHRA event we go to. I usually bail quick.
