| NHRA U.S. Nationals
Any drag racing fans here? The big go this weekend! John Force won the Traxxas shootout and $100,000 It is cool that Traxxas is involved in NHRA, in a big way too! I've been to Joliet a couple times and Brainerd many, times. I WILL get to Indy within the next few years! There really is nothing like literally feeling the earth shake when the nitro cars do a burnout...That is F'n HORSEPOWER! |

Drag racing fan and racer right here!!! Brought my fiancé to joliet last year for her first time,just so she can see the top fuels........she loves them. Im not knockin the NHRA,because they are the ones made drag racing mainstream for us drag nuts,but I get more into the series guys like US can afford to get into.we were in a nitrous outlaw series and my buddys car was supposed to be running around 7.10-ish but he switched to a different program and we just couldnt get the tune right.we'll give it a cracl again next year |

I went yesterday, had a blast, got sun burnt, face full of nitro, and a used head gasket from the sarge. Good day! Sent from the drivers seat of scx10 |

Judging by the 5.0 in your name I take it you had a hatch or a notchIm the only guy without a mustang in our group but Id trade my olds g-body in heartbeat for a clean notch!!!!!!!! The one shop we all hangout at was in the true street series in the 7.20 cap and my bud's car that should be in the 7's is kinda done for right now,I dont know what he's doing with it,then we have another dude with a turbo notch that is just 600 hp of stupid fun and a mod motor 98 cobra making just a tick under 1000hp is street driven and could be a daily driver!!! No track time on that car yet though | |

I'm a Ford guy for the most part but I love G-bodies, My first car was a '79 cutlass with a POS 260V8, then I got a '82 cutlass with a 307, ran that out of coolant...(dumbass 16yr old kid I was) and put a small block chevy in it... I'd like to get to Byron too... | |

Drag fan, racer, and sponsor of a few rigs / drivers from NMRA, IHRA, IDRC, NHRA and on. I've personally moved on from drag for the most part and am moving back to my roots of solo and autocross etc. I still enjoy the hell out of any type of racing and would jump in a car no questions asked but prefer multiple turns in all directions... But I must agree there's nothing like being thrown into your seat by an 9-10 second car... -Dan |
