You all remember when you were young and had your dreams on what you wanted to do and accomplish. It is like when you get older and then it turns into a "Bucket List". Dreams are not always out of reach, and many times it takes special people in ones life to help it all come to life! That is what this Blog is all about. To find those special people and help one of our great Nitro Twitter Group Member to achieve a dream he has had most of his life. To come to America and attend a NHRA Full Throttle Series Event. This young lad would be Chris Hobson. Many of you know him on twitter as @NitroChrisUK . He is always there to help post results of most of the NHRA Events as they are happening.
Let's learn a little bit about Chris Hobson. Chris was born March 27, 1990 in the UK, and is nearly 22. He was born into the sport as his father was involved in a couple of Drag Racing Teams in the 80's. As a child, Chris attended many drag races with his parents at Santa Pod and Avon Park, and it is where is Passion grew to love the Drag Racing Sport. Chris is a big Die Hard Race fan, and started following the NHRA in the US. Since 2004 he and his dad have attended at least 2 races a year together.
In 2009, Chris became a Drag Racing Tweeter. That is when Chris and I hooked up on twitter and he helped with the Posting of rounds at the NHRA Events, and was a Very Big Help in getting the Nitro Twitter Group off the ground. He had such great Ideas and has even helped with spreading the NTG overseas.
One of Chris's favorite memories is when he was 6 years old, and he got to sit in a Top Fuel Dragster. The rest is history. He has been an avid fan of Drag Racing, and now hopes he'll make it to America to attend a NHRA Full Throttle Event.
This is what I am on a mission to accomplish. I am looking for those special people that I talked about in my first paragraph, to help make this dream of Chris Hobson come true. Last year we tried to get Chris here, but did not raise enough money to fill his dream. We have a total of $265 thus far going towards his airfare. That is all I am asking is to help with his airfare. I will take care of the rest for accommodations and make sure he gets fed. What do English people eat! I have a lot of Tea and English Muffins LOL! Oh yes, and Fish and Chips. If that doesn't make him happy, not sure what will
So if you feel it in your heart to help us with " A Dream Come True" for Chris Hobson, please send your support to my PayPal account "nitrojohn12@yahoo.com and we will then keep all posted to let you know what race he will be attending. Thank you for all your support!
