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.

Pay Tribute to a Loved One


As you already may know, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. "Pink October" as some know it. Every Year Terry McMillen wraps his Top Fuel Dragster in Pink, and the whole crew wears Pink Jerseys to pay tribute to Breast Cancer through She4Life.



This year, Terry McMillen is helping those who want to help pay tribute to She4Life by offering fans to donate $50.00. The Donation Package will include: You will be able to pay tribute to a victim of Cancer, or yourself, by getting their name or yours on Terry's Top Fuel Dragster. You'll also receive an autographed driver handout, a She4Life gift, and you will also be entered in a drawing to win a Pink Crew Jersey. One contributor will win the Pink Crew Jersey.
The deadline to get your name or your loved ones name on Terry's car is Sept 29, 2012, but Terry said it will be extended for a bit. You can always continue to donate through October and throughout the year. Thank you in advance for your donations. Please click on this link to Donate:

"NHRA U.S. Mac Tools Nationals Quotes Continued"

I recently posted a blog on Live Octane on the "DRIVER THOUGHTS: NHRA MAC TOOLS U.S. NATIONALS PRESENTED BY AUTO-PLUS" and a few quotes did not get posted. So I wanted to share those that did not get posted since these drivers went out of there way and took the time to give me their quotes. I am on the road driving to California so I don't have a lot of time to write an extensive blog at this time on my journey and time at the U.S Nationals in Indy that was rained out. I will be writing another blog on that experience and the Tweet Up as soon as I get settled in CA in a few days.

The question was to the drivers is:

"What are your thoughts when you hear the words "NHRA Mac Tools U.S. Nationals"?

Ron Capps: Napa Auto Parts Dodge Charger Funny Car



"It is our frozen tundra,our yankee stadium,our Indy speedway...the racing spirits still roam that place and winning there means everything"





Clay Millican: Parts Plus Top Fuel Dragster






"As a racer I think Biggest Race of the year. The one you really want to win. Career Win. Career maker. I want to win in it.
As a team manager I think longest race of the year. More runs to make than any other all year. More hotel nights than any race all year. With all that said we at MPE Motorsports can't wait to get there."


Thank you Ron Capps and Clay Millican for helping out with these great quotes on the NHRA U.S. Mac Tools Nationals.
