Live from the Northwest Nationals

And ... we're back! Betcha thought I wasn't going to post anything. Au contraire!

It was a nice overcast day at Pacific Raceways. Perfect weather for drag racing. Not too hot, not too cold and not raining! Although there was some moisture on the car when I got there this morning, they started pretty much right on time.

I wanted to wait until I got home to post any videos so I could post them in 720p. I will have Super Stock Q2 up shortly. Here's Super Stock Q1:

Wish we were there again this year! Toby, did you make it down to the Tiki Bar yet? I wonder if they have the blender powered by the dragster engine running this year? I didn't see Phillip and Kelly Marvetz in the qualifying. They were a lot of fun last year.

Hey, Good Luck and thanks for the videos!

It's been barely misting most of the morning. They ran about half of Super Street then they finally stopped after the mist got heavier. I had to wipe the water off my window to put the first three numbers of my dial-in on. I'm surprised they ran as long as they did. We are on hold right now.

We're taking this year off from running the stockers @ NHRA events, I need to save my money so I can buy some better Ebay parts. :-) The Hemi is slowly getting better, It went 10.40 @ 127 last weekend.
Good luck to Team Nasty Fish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Toby, I wondered what the hold up was.

Jeff Goss · 08-06-2011, 01:53 PM

Thanks for posting the video Toby. I reallly am upset at myself for not being there.

Good luck to you and Jody!

Thanks Toby. The videos are top notch. Next best thing to being there.

Three of the coolest SS'ers in the country (in no particular order): Bell's Challenger, Nottingham's Fairlane, and Isherwood's Belvedere -- can't believe how fast he's going these days.

Great videos, thanks for taking the time to take them and post the for us to enjoy. Wish I was there too. Good luck to all the racers who made it there. And the Tiki bar is in full effect from what I hear!
