Drag Racers let's get this party started!

Drag racing returns to Phoenix, Arizona as NHRA's annual duel in the desert continues in its traditional spot as the year’s second event. A Southwest fixture since 1985, the race offers teams a chance to redeem mistakes made at the opener. Held at Wild Horse Pass Motorsports Park, the race track is also known for record performances, such as Tony Schumacher’s historic 330-mph quarter-mile blast in 1999.

If you'd like to join us, pick a driver and put the pedal to the medal!

No matter what track or how many years between seeing him he always remembered me and took us in his little gooseneck trailer to show us the bike and what was going on.

Yea, the first 660' is new concrete. They did a fantastic job with grade and smoothness, but the contraction joints that are sawed in are lousy. Looks like they rushed the cutting of the joints and have spalling already.
Another thing I saw was a little dip at the Concrete/Asphalt transition.

CONGRATS to Alexis!! A well deserved win and not the last, I am certain, with Delago wrenching!!

Congrats to Britt on her first final round! Even though Ant is a "Evil Empire" driver, it's alwasy good to see him take a Wally.

AJ ....what can you say? Roy Johnson HP is just a stifling force in Pro Stock.
I look for Chris McGahee to take some events this year. He gave it away yesterday, but with the ENTIRE Mike Edwards operation now his, its only a matter of time.

Haha no, Stainless provided me with a list of drivers and reminded me that my strategy is to pick the hottest one on the list. Lol

That's the headline!

Roy is a cool dude, we started talking to him yesterday, and he said, "oh yeah, you were in the room above is in Vegas." He likes to make my wife blush. :D

Unfortunately for Courtney, She is "practicing" on the wrong "tree"!!

Rahal is to Courtney as Jessica Simpson was to Tony Romo, He is JFR's "Yoko Ono"....

Well hopefully the newness will wear off sooner than it did for Alexis, she finally won an event 2 years since hooking up with Jesse. :p
