Re: Live from Maple Grove Dragway - NHRA Lucas Oil Series
Hey Ken. Thanks for all the photos. In post #17 picture #3 is that John Melvin's old car. I haven't seen that car in years. I believe John was from Temecula, Ca. Is John still around??

Re: Live from Maple Grove Dragway - NHRA Lucas Oil Series
Heard today that thanks to an insane amount of Jealousy on the behalf of NHRA. Rob Jackson of Robz need for speed videos got escorted off the starting line and was told if he posts anything they will shut him down.. He was told he is only allowed to video from the stands. And still isn't allowed to post it.
Hello Everyone. It is true, I asked for starting line credentials today and was given them to video, then when they realized it was video(they were'nt listening?) they stopped me. I contacted the NHRA like I did two years ago when I got permission to continue doing what I was doing, this time they just quoted me All Access. When I asked a couple of questions on what I could do to be within NHRA guidelines I was told there was nothing I could do. I was told and I quote, "I could go on NHRA.com and click on the link, sign the appropriate paperwork requesting permission for an event, and it would then be denied!" I then found out I made Glendora's watch list as of January this year! I'm so proud! |

Re: Live from Maple Grove Dragway - NHRA Lucas Oil Series
Is that because of the new TV deal with Fox?

Ron, I am not sure. Stock has had their first round as did Super Comp and Super Street. Super Stock was just about done when we had a major oil down. Super Gas were in the lanes but they turned them around. They will finished up with Super Stock, about 10 pair and then go into the Alcohol cars and finish off with Jet cars and wheelstanders. Not sure where they will fit Super Gas in tonight. I decent crowd for a division race on a very hot holiday weekend. Only one round of eliminations today, we will finish up tomorrow. |
