Live from the NHRA Finals
OK, first off, if I had to guess I would say 80%+ of the people here at the track have internet access. If you are at the track right now and reading this, why aren't you posting in this thread? If you can't post about other people, why not post about how you are doing, how your run went, track conditions, weather etc...
I also want to thank all the people who have started "Live from" threads and all the people who have contributed to them. I won't try to list everybody because I know I will leave somebody out. They know who they are. I'm encoding Super Stock Q1 right now and it will be up later today. Again, if you are at the track and have internet access, why not contribute to this thread??? -Toby |

Re: Live from the NHRA Finals
Good afternoon Toby - you've got a great idea there -- all you need is for the racers / spectators to cooperate ..........and good luck with that .
We here on the other side of the country are patiently waiting for any news that you or anyone onsite can give us .....and are thankful for whatever it is . BTW , its been a long year for you on the road and the Winter rest is coming after this race ...........and the Christmas bonuses that will soon follow . Oh , one last thing -- good luck this weekend .

Re: Live from the NHRA Finals
Wow! at John Mihovetz's run, 1.18 under in comp, that's movin.
Skillman's run in stock was fast too, 9.42 at 120, looking at the incrementals, it was going to be low 9.20s at probably 148 or so.

Re: Live from the NHRA Finals
OK, don't everybody post all at once. Slow down! LOL
Thanks, Jack & Steve. I'm sure everybody's just too busy to post with this hectic schedule. |

Re: Live from the NHRA Finals
