Winter Nationals, Pomona, CA
 

One of my buddies made the trek to CA from MD for the NHRA Winter Nationals and is #3 qualifier at this point! Wayne Totaro. Told me yesterday that he let off at 1000 ft and still went 1.15 under. That's flying!

Now I have work to do on the new Turquoise rocketship to keep up with him!

Looks like it's gonna be a rain out. At least there are two weeks between this event and the Phoenix event...

I am officially "hooked up" for all three days in Phoenix (ya gotta love the radio folks here) https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Re: Winter Nationals, Pomona, CA
 

Bruce, Please inform us about what might be anyone's options to spectate the Phoenix Natl event...........

and then does Tucson have a Div 7 points race the next weekend???????

Could you please take some pics of Seattle based racer JEFF LANE (Hancock & Lane) Super Stock for me.............

Thanks

Re: Winter Nationals, Pomona, CA
 

I thought it never rains in Southern Ca?? My buddy Wayne is spending a lot of time in the NHRA museum.

Re: Winter Nationals, Pomona, CA
 

It's only raining because the NHRA is trying to run a race there... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

It better not rain here in two weeks!


Mr Sharin...not sure what you are asking? I should be able to get the pics that you want though...

Re: Winter Nationals, Pomona, CA
 

They're racing in Pomona, my buddy Wayne is into the second round in Stock.

Yep-Eee,

Jerry

Re: Winter Nationals, Pomona, CA
 

Any word on Pomona? Are they racing?

Jerry

Re: Winter Nationals, Pomona, CA
 

Last word I heard was....They said that they should be starting in about an hour....

Re: Winter Nationals, Pomona, CA
 

Just heard that Bobby DeArmond left for home, Gallup, NM and he's still in! A bunch of weather on the way to the Flagstaff area???

Jerry

Re: Winter Nationals, Pomona, CA
 

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...

Re: Winter Nationals, Pomona, CA
 

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.....

would love to see nhra go under.

-----So,,,You would actually like to see literally thousands MORE people out of work, John??? You may not like some aspects of NHRA but come-on.........Bill S

Re: Winter Nationals, Pomona, CA
 

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

Re: Winter Nationals, Pomona, CA
 

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!

Re: Winter Nationals, Pomona, CA
 

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.

How about a link, Rusty?

Re: Winter Nationals, Pomona, CA
 

Go to the main page for NHRA and hit the multimedia link. Then punch the 'Listen Live' link.

Re: Winter Nationals, Pomona, CA
 

Thanks Rusty, it's working great. Those pro stock guys are FLYING! Greg Anderson ran a 6.52 in the last round, just needs a 6.59 (I think) to back it up as a new record.

Stock class is running right now, guys are breaking out all over.

Re: Winter Nationals, Pomona, CA
 

Anderson backed up his record with a 6.55, but lost on a hole shot to Mike Edwards. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/ooo.gif

Re: Winter Nationals, Pomona, CA
 

Sam, did you hear what they said on the air about the Comp guys going home.....leaving 12 single runs ? im sure they all have real jobs to attend to unlike the pros.....going to be interesting this year.....Greg Anderson is just unreal !!

Re: Winter Nationals, Pomona, CA
 

i would think the comp guys left so they would not blow there index for the year.
