Live From Jeg's Sportsnationals

Ken Miele · 07-15-2020, 12:09 PM

Hey everyone, well I finally made it to my first NHRA race. Man what a lousy start to this season, anyway its good to be here and with Patsy starting the live from, if feels like things are back to normal.

This race kind of feels like Indy as far as class goes, and since there really is no class at Indy, to me this is the big go for all the class racers. I hope to be able to do starting line photos, but there is no NHRA media here so not sure I will be able to get the proper credentials. I also hope to get some in car camera video.

The photos below is from the first time shot of the Stock Super Stock combo coming back from there runs. What a great deal, you have three races in 5 days, what else could you ask for.

Ken, just ask for JJ, he is the operations manager for the facility. He should be able to assist you witht he proper media credentials you may want. He was able to take care of Doug Walker for the weekend for the Hemi Clash, I assume he should be able to help you as well. He isnt hard to find. He is the younger guy running around like a wild man taking care of everything. Ha!

I had to go peek in the garage to be sure my Nova was still there. My identical car twin!

Thanks for the great starting line shots. Ken, they were real nice to me when Michael Beard did a S/SS race there a few years back. They'll let you on the line. Should be a bare spot about the 60' mark on both sides of the track. Good luck.

So Tony, was your car still in the garage?? That's funny right there.
