Welcome Nitro Fans

I wanted to take a little time to explain my blog. I will be keeping up with news and views of the NHRA, Teams, Sponsors and Fans as much as can. I will be posting links, pictures, video's and comments from my experiences and from the fans, teams and sponsors.
My goal is to help spread to word of the NHRA, NHRA Teams, their Sponsors, and the NHRA Community in hopes of supporting it's Growth. Over the years I have seen the NHRA's growth, and I think the potential is there to make this Drag Racing Sport the #1 in the Nation. I would appreciate everyones support.

WFO Radio! At home or on the Go!


I am sure by now, if you're a fan of the NHRA, then you have to be a fan of WFO Radio! WFO Radio is to the NHRA as Peanut Butter is to Chocolate, or as Vin Scully is to Dodger Baseball. The two magically mesh into a winning combination. Joe Castello has come a long way into making this Motor Sports coverage a big success.



Joe has been involved in the racing scene for most of his life. Growing up as a spectator and young driver at Miami-Hollywood Speedway, the local neighborhood drag strip, he was offered the position of race announcer at age 15. Joe used the opportunity to hone his skills both behind the microphone and the wheel of his race car. His racing career produced a track championship in 1995, something he is still very proud of. In 1996, he was hired at Miami's #1 sports radio station where he developed the area's most popular motor sports talk show before moving to XM in 2004. Joe has made laps in everything from go-carts and stock cars, to an Indy car, while continuing to drag race as often as the busy motor sports schedule allows. Click here WFOJOE to learn more about the man behind WFO Radio.

I have had the pleasure of meeting Joe Castello in Indy at the NHRA US Nationals, and in Pomona at the NHRA Auto Club Finals. He is one of the best Ambassadors to Motor Sports and especially the National Hot Rod Association. His passion is second to none when it comes to interviewing drivers, teams and fans of all types of motor sports. If you have not had the chance to listen to his broadcasts, then I highly recommend tuning in to WFORadio for Breaking News, interviews, and questions and answers from all the fans. We need to get the word out and help expose WFO Radio to the world of Motor Sports. Not only can you listen to live shows, but you can also pull up archives of past shows of your favorite drivers.

If you are on the go and feel the need for speed, just tune in to the WFO app and take it with you wherever you go. You won't regret it. Link to download the app is shown below.

Below are links to WFO Radio, social media's and mobile phone apps.

Post of Cori Wickler in Maynmar

Here is what Cori wrote on her Blog in Myanmar:

We have been here for two and a half days now, and I am finally getting the chance to sit down and type a blog. It is quiet here, as half of the group went to a soccer game this afternoon. There is so much to share, but I there was one thing that touched me more than I would have ever realized. They celebrate what they call “Christmas in July” here. All of the orphanages were given two sets of clothing per child and every child was aloud to pick out one toy for them to keep. The children made two lines that seemed to go on forever, and five at a time they came into the supply room to pick a toy. It was so amazing to see the excitement on their faces when they left with a new toy in their hand. This was special for them not only because they got a new toy, but because they were able to make a choice, something they don’t get to do for themselves often. I also found it very rewarding to see the children pick some of the toys that were donated by people that I know. Usually you don’t get to see your donated items put to good use, so seeing it, was pretty awesome. I will tell you what the kids here are some of the happiest children I have ever seen. They have such little material items, but more love than you can imagine. As far as everyone here is concerned. Everyone is healthy, just recovering from jet lag. Take care for now!
