Gatornationals Set to Kick Off NHRA Camping World Series in 2023

Quote:

Rumors have been circling about major changes in the 2023 NHRA Camping World Drag Racing schedule, and those were confirmed with the release of the first four competition dates for next season. Cutting right to it: The 54th annual Amalie Motor Oil NHRA Gatornationals, held at Gainesville Raceway, will serve as the season kickoff over the weekend of March 9-12.

NHRA officials cited more efficient travel logistics as a motivator to make these adjustments, marking the second time in company history that the Gatornationals served as the season opener. The legacy event in Florida served as the season opener for the 2021 season due to the global pandemic. The Gatornationals will include the Pep Boys All Stars Top Fuel Callout as well as all four professional categories—Top Fuel, Funny Car, Pro Stock, and Pro Stock Motorcycle.

2020 "Luminaire Green" McLaren 600LT Spider

I had no idea what it was. Initially I thought it was a Ferrari but there were no Prancing Horse emblems anywhere. So I asked the owner and he told me. And yes - that's a really ugly color (IMO).

I am a part time SFI technical inspector at New England Dragway.
Last night, one of these (a McLaren anyway- maybe not the same model) pulled up in front of me (side view) in orange.
From the side view, I actually thought it was pretty much the ugliest new corvette I'd seen. That color was just horrible on it.
(And I actually do like the styling of the new mid engine Corvettes)
Took me a couple minutes to realize it wasn't a Corvette.
Anyway, after he grabbed his helmet & fire jacket out of the trunk (in the front), I asked him to pop the hood.
He said he couldn't do that.

Apparently, they actually have to remove the rear body panels to get at the engine when they service it.
I asked him how do you check the oil?
He went inside, pushed a button & popped open this little maybe 8" square panel that opened up just behind the rear window.

$200K was the price of admission. Said he traded in his two BMWs for it.
Cranked off 10.50s.

Thanks, interesting story and history.
Very unique car but still, to me, not a complementary mish-mash of styles that the O/O put together.
BUT, if I had been the bellboy...:laugh:

Hmmm. So the lawyer with OCD in me thinks that you can only walk on the thin white line, now.

I would almost have to agree with you Steve. Looking at the overhead shot of the plane - you can see how small people are in relation to it. Or . . . you can only walk within the white lines and not outside of them.

The first Post War (WWII) American car to offer a sunroof was the 1960 T-Bird. The sunroof was produced by Golde and Company of West Germany.
