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.

"Crunch Time" Two NHRA Events Remain

With the NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series coming to an end with just two more events left. Once again it looks to be an exciting finish. We have the NHRA Big O Nationals at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in Las Vegas, Oct. 25-28, and the NHRA AAA Auto Club Finals in Pomona CA, Nov. 8-11. It may come down to the wire in all the classes, and that will be determined on what happens in Vegas. In this account, What happens in Vegas, won't stay in Vegas.



In Top Fuel we have Antron Brown leading the pack leading teammate Spencer Massey by 104 points. Tony Schumacher is in 3rd 136 points back, Shawn Langdon is 4th 144 points behind, and Brandon Bernstein takes up the 5th position 177 points back. With only 8 rounds left, these 5 drivers have the best chances of taking home the championship for 2012. Morgan Lucas who is 224 points back of Antron has a slim chance, but there would be a lot of determining factors for this to be accomplished, and highly unlikely.

Funny Car is a little tighter in the points. With Jack Beckman grabbing Records in Reading, he has jumped up to the #1 position, 23 points ahead of teammate Ron Capps. Coming in 3rd is Mike Neff 54 points back of Beckman, and who won the race at MapleGrove in Reading. Now comes the big Gap with Johnny Gray in 4th 191 points back, then Cruz Pedregon 193 points back in 5th. John Force has that slight chance being in 6th place 220 points back. Let me Add that Courtney Force is 221 points back, and could pull it off, but very unlikely without records, and leaders DNQ or going out in the 1st Rounds?
I will blog on Pro Stock Cars and Motorcycles in my next blog!

Also I'd like to mention, now that I am with Hoosier Thunder Motorsports, Terry McMillen, that you can still help with Breast Cancer Awareness in donating through She4Life. There is still time to "Pay Tribute to a Loved One" on Terry McMillen's Top Fuel Dragster in Las Vegas. Click on the link below to donate get your loved one on Terry McMillen's car in Vegas. Together they are doing an awesome job in promoting Breast Cancer Awareness in helping support breast cancer victims and their families.


I would also like to congratulate all the NHRA Rookies in 2012 to The Road to the Future. Best of luck to you all. You have all done a great job in 2012 and you are all winners in my book. The eight rookie candidates are Khalid alBalooshi (Top Fuel), Blake Alexander (Funny Car), Alexis DeJoria (Funny Car), Courtney Force (Funny Car), John Hall (Pro Stock Motorcycle), Todd Lesenko (Funny Car), Chris McGaha (Pro Stock), and Scotty Pollacheck (Pro Stock Motorcycle).
