"Live From" Dodge NHRA Nationals

Ken Miele · 09-22-2017, 07:24 AM

Good morning everyone, the sun is out and we have another great day for racing. I think we are looking at some type of record for this race as far as weather goes. This race has been jinxed with bad weather for almost every year I have been coming here.

We have two heads races in Stock this morning. Shipp vs Moulton C/SA and Williams vs Mitchell F/SA.

I few more photos from yesterdays action.

You hate to see race cars at the end of the day on jack stands. I know the last photo of the Cook Brother's car is not good. The oil pump pick tube broke and they lost oil pressure. Bearings looked a little rough, but the crank was okay. The could not get bearings, so they are out of competition this week.

Hey everyone.
Not that you all can answer as you're the racers etc. but where are the announcers on All Access? All that's coming over the stream is engines sounds from the burnout box and crossing the finish line?
GEEZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Have a safe race everyone.

Stock and Super Stock along with the Super classes are done for the day. Stock will be out first tomorrow for round 3. A few shots from today's action.

On Thursday broke the rear on Q1, got it fixed and on Q4 broke a pollylock. Then on E1 lost the brakes at the finish line. What a bad two days.

Geez Bob, could it get any worse. Here are a few a shots from the crowds today. The first photo is when Comp was running a qualifier. The other two are from the pros. The place is jammed, and its only Friday.
