I haven't found out if the track is going to finish out its schedule but everyone has been telling me its the last racing event at the track. https://twitter.com/ratfacedmoonboy/status/1517165147105730563 I'll post updates from time to time.

It’s Britney, bitch. I would post the tweet but everyone at the track has had tons of internet issues. I will kinda miss this place?

We’re in Virginia for the imaginatively named Virginia Nationals. Brittany Force has set the track record twice with stiff competition from Austin Prock and Steve Torrance. https://twitter.com/jfr_racing/status/1525276209382293505?s=21&t=Yqt30vd7YwpukusqB3PE5g

Bristol was cool as gently caress. We're in Norwalk Ohio. Massive downgrade. Its actually too hot for the cars to post great speeds. There's a sweet spot in track temps and 130F is a bit past the high end.

I'm in Denver for the NHRA Mile High Nationals. Like Bristol, they chose to carve the track out of the side of a mountain. But its all loose scree so you can wipe out the Nitro Mall by trying to climb up the hillside. looking forwrd to meeting new bugs and hopefully not running over anymore race fans.

We're in Seattle for the Flav-R-Pac NHRA Northwest Nationals. They've got some good food lined up in the concession area and the place looks like Jason Vorhees might stumble on the track. Come on down this weekend, burn some nitro.

This track very wisely parked all the alcohol dragsters at the bottom of a hill and at least one team needed an assist getting their vehicles towed to the staging lanes.

If in you’re in Topeka, there’s gonna be funny cars and other proper cars. Plus a wheelstander and jet car exhibition EVERY NIGHT . I fuckin love jet cars. They’re the stupidest thing. A fuckin jet engine with wheels and a seat bolted on. Floods the grandstands in smoke. Usually turns in a 270mph at the quarter mile mark. coconono fucked around with this message at 21:45 on Aug 12, 2022 |

not quite as funny as racing jetengines with wheels and seat bolted on, but I'm glad everyone's ok https://twitter.com/OhioRacingMedia/status/1566250378869489665 It astounds me how safe this sport has become esp compared to seeing some of the older dragster guys who def healed up without medical supervision a few times. I remember meeting a guy in the Pomona fairplex parking lot who'd totally not spent several years living in his top sportsman car(VERY specific about this point) telling me about how he'd been banned from the fairplex for having an opinion. I talked to the dude for like 45 seconds, felt like 2 hours, thanks Drag Strip Uncle Buck. Seriously, I hope he's well. I better stop before I go into reminiscent mode about this forever county fair culture I've fallen in love with.

NHRA does that. And if you ask at the Nitro Mall they can put you in contact with people that die professional ear molded protection. I believe it’s still Racing Electronics that handles that.

Here’s the ear mold gimmicks I was talking about : https://racingelectronics.com/collections/for-race-teams/products/ear-mold-custom-super-soft-mono-with-cord Worth having if you’re gonna be around the loud stuff. I wear mine so I can listen to wholly inappropriate music while the cars go by.

I'm in Reading Pennsylvania for the something or other NHRA Nationals. We're doing all the sportsman qualifying today which is like wacky races. poo poo explodes, cars piss themselves, drivers poo poo while making eye contact with the 12 fans in attendance. I'm assuming the other 12 got lost on the way to the track because its out in the sticks(remember the woods from Assassin's Creed 3, its that kinda place). You're missing quality car mayhem y'all. E: Its the Pep Boys NHRA Nationals. Love da Pep boys.

been sleeping in the parking lot of LVMS, much to the chagrin of security. Finally saw the Summit EV line up. Which was a bunch of Teslas. YAWN. But I did get to see dueling jet dragsters! Two pairs! and each run almost ended in flames! Anyway here’s a launch POV provided by Josh Hart https://twitter.com/joshharttf/status/1586524233999360001?s=46&t=OpGszNXiJtps_OuR3yyW1w coconono fucked around with this message at 02:08 on Oct 30, 2022 |

I wonder if I’ll run into drag strip uncle buck again. We’re in Pomonathis weekend for the big NHRA season finale. A bunch of points and stuff I don’t pay attention to happened so I guess it’ll be exciting if you like spreadsheets. I’m just here for the Mexican place around the corner. And the chest rumbling zooooooms.

Dirt Road Junglist posted:I think I missed this story. Is he running around breaking into doors with drills or something? nah he was some dude that's banned from the track for "having an opinion." So he was posted out by the Derby Room parking lot in an old El Camino(it might have been a Chevelle with the back chopped out) that looked like he was living in it. He very specifically told me he was not living in it anymore. I think it was his race vehicle at one point because it had all the different stickers NHRA's Tech team gives out on it. Like the ones that get you $50 if you don't go red on a run or hit your time exactly. I listened to the dude for about 2 minutes, felt like 4 hours. Nice enough, however.
