Live From The Northwest Nationals
 

We're here at the 14th stop on the NHRA tour. The crown jewel of the Full Throttle/Lucas Oil series, the Northwest Nationals at Pacific Raceways in beautiful Seattle, WA.

I know Patsy will keep you updated in her western swing thread. I will try to keep you updated here also, but like before it will probably be mostly pictures.

Here's some shots of the holding area where the rigs are waiting to be parked:
