Live from Phoenix - NHRA Arizona Nationals

They've already put a super gas car on it's lid in the left lane.

Boy would I love to be there today as we got hit yesterday and today with another real big Nor'Easter again .........I'm getting tired of this white stuff fast .Hope to hear from some of my West Coast friends on how things are going at the "Double" ........Good Luck to all ! !

PS-- Here are a couple of pics of what we in the Northeast are facing this morning after we cleared everything last night .

People have said that there's a dip in the left lane after the 1000 ft mark? Is that what's causing all the crashes in that lane, or?? Doesn't make sense to keep sacrificing cars and w/a good chance of maybe getting someone hurt badly or even lose another life out there....WJ

I have run there and haven't had a problem with the dip in my 10.70 truck. But if you get out of the very tite groove you will spin the tires and get out of shape. When it happened to me I just lifted. I'm a chicken but I want to drive it on the trailer.

Jack,

That is just a dusting of snow you got there, I'll be down with my snowmobiles and we can hit the PA trails.

Just spoke with Michael Iacono who tells me that not one car has gone down the track since this morning ...........but they are working on it .Wonder when the new rain date will be ? ? Guess I should be glad I'm plowing today.............

Someone on another site just said they have called a drivers meeting. Anybody know anything yet ,let us know.

I hate it . I absolutely hate it when my wife is right .Even she knew that when the NHRA tries to have more than one race in a single weekend it rarely works out .And then I heard about the bagfull of money I was going to spend on returning to the Phoenix "Double" --- not to mention the weather looked iffy for Saturday -- its a good thing she doesn't read this stuff -- she'll never know just how right she was -- if she did I'd never hear the end of it .I'll just call it a lucky guess on her part and leave it alone .Good thing the Nor'Easter came in and spoiled my plans .....if not I'd be eaten stuff for a long time ! ! See --- there really is a racing God -- and he saved my sorry butte again......I wonder if I'm still in ....and where ? ? ?

It looks like they have postponed the completion of National event again because of "continuing issues with the racing surface", but they still expect to complete the divisional this weekend.
