NHRA AZ Nationals Wild Horse Pass Motorsports Park

[Xplantdad]

Here are the pics for Saturday. We were only there for a while today as Holly started to not feel all that great. After we got home, she was okay. Maybe we overdid it yesterday?

We were able to talk with Erica for a good length of time today...as she was a bit less rushed. Talked to Jeg as well....what a really genuinely nice guy!

I hope you enjoy the shots. We're going to get a good nights rest, then back at it tomorrow!! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]


Staging lanes full of cars!










Some random shots from the pits

Chuck Sharin-this must be the car you are talking about. The guys around were busy working, so I didn't interrupt [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]











Some more random shots...












Then quite a few over by the scales...

Vincent Nobile on the scales










Then I wandered through the back of the pits...WAAAAAY back in the pits, by the lake [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]












Cal Method has been doing this for a looooooooong time!

One thing that we noticed that really stood out to us is that all of the racers we approached (no matter the class) were very cordial and eager to talk [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]










His....and hers....

Hi Craig....You are welcome.

I think Al recently had Firebird's and a Corvette? I've got pics from a few years ago of some of his other fine rides [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

That explains why I didn't see you at Pavillions today.

Bruce, Thanks for taking the picture of the Hancock &amp; Lane Racing SS/BS Cavailier
driven by Cody Lane (Father Jeff Lane drives the #3 COMP Elim Cobalt which was
in trailer as NHRA didnt run COMP at this event).
Did you know that most of those above &quot;door cars&quot; will be back NEXT WEEKEND
for the Divison 7 NHRA Lucas Oil Race at Wildhorse Pass.

Cody qualified #1 with that Cavalier pictured above running 8.65 Sec which is a full second
under the 9.65 Index. With 55 cars in Super Stock Cody had the bye run in first rd.....

In the second round Cody had a .001 RED LIGHT and lost.........

Bruce your pictures are some of the best drag racing PIT pictures Ive ever seen......I'm very impressed
by all the top racing personalities that stood with Holly for photos.....IF youre ever around the H&amp;L pit
again I sure hope you'll introduce yourself to Jeff and Cody Lane....

I've been traveling with them to every Western US Race since 2013, but am backing off some this year.
I still go to his shop and help pull/install engines,trans,diffs and I polish the cars with my equipment.

Thanks for the info, Chuck...and I am glad that you enjoyed the pics. We will swing by there today, too...and see if we can talk with them [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]
