It was just hailing here in Peoria...just northwest of Phoenix...

According to Weather.com...there is a pretty good sized shower just below the dragstrip in Whittier...

Just talked with Jim Meador, D/SA '67 Camaro. He told me that many threw in the towel because of the weather and headed home.......even though they were still in the eliminator! Nice way to start the year for NHRA.....

I wouldn't want the NHRA to go under but I do think some healthy competition would be good for them. They've focused on the Pro categories so much lately that the little guy feels like the red-headed stepchild. Maybe it's time for this!

I've talked with Rod Saint a few times lately and he seems like a stand-up guy. Being a former member of an AHRA Sanctioned strip, I'm happy to see the AHRA come back at any level.

I wish him well! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif

They're suppose to finish the race today. Rain, rain and more rain. My buddy Wayne is having such a good time after driving almost 3000 miles. Cooped up in his motorhome for over a week!

Rough way to start the NHRA season out. Probably NO spectators at this point. Not good for business. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif

Re: Winter Nationals, Pomona, CA
 

Weather looks good for today, at least according to weather.com. Being from Seattle I have been to these delayed finishes, small crowds and a fun day to be a spectator if you can get the time off work! It's certainly tough on the racers though.
