did it ever even get approved for sure? i haven't seen anything about it recently, last i heard they had hit some more opposition.
it's going to be one hell of a facility and revolutionize the publicity of drag racing if it's completed. 4/7/2008 8:18:41 PM |

charlotte is already scheduled to hold the first NHRA national in NC ever on 9-13-08 I think
i went to pinks @ rockingham last year. was good but cold/windy as fuck and we spent most of our time outside drinking...probably didn't get my 20$ worth of racing but it was fun

I got back this afternoon, weather was great down there. Had a lot of fun, but I dont think I will be driving 5 hours to do it again. Episode airs Aug 14th I think, they announced it so many times that I blocked it from my mind. 5/11/2008 5:34:31 PM |

that guy thought the old stock g body axles could take some abuse. wrong.
this guy was the first fuck up. the worst part of this event is the time it takes to clean up oil downs. period.
i still dont know what to say. none of it was very impressive.
mustang sleeping at the line
car in the close lane is the one that nitrous backfired on rich, far lane ended up the winner in the final. nice to see a vette win one.
GTO that "jumped" to move the big dodge up to the semifinals. wait, i think i have that too...

wish i could have gotten another of that dodges passed on tape, but i killed the camera battery.
this damn DSM was running pretty quick, but left "synthetic tranny fluids" all the way down the track. rich ran around with his hands on his hips shaking his head- cameras about 2ft behind him at all times. what a primadonna.
north georgia mountain hoes like pinks almost as much as they like boiled p-nuts. hahaha
another oil down, yay.
random mountain trash.
another oil down, uh oh rich is getting upset!!
NOT AGAIN!!!
Jen musta took this, somehow I missed a tacoma racing. Looks like an S-runner.
whats that behind the ford?

yeah, that's always what eats time at any strip. at least a track/event like that has some decent equipment. got a test and tune somewhere around here and it's just a couple of guys out there with a mop, broom, and a torch while you sit in the staging lanes for an hour. it's also why drag racing is never broadcast live. the addition of 4 lane tracks is going to change that though.

haha, that's great. i had just said something to jen on friday about how it'd be funny if ya'll got to see him do something stupid again.
what kind of times did the c5 run? looks familiar.

looks like some fuel puddled in the intake probably.
if i ever go to one of these things and run, i'm setting up my washer nozzle right at his ass and soaking him as i leave the line wheels up. 5/12/2008 2:03:37 AM |

they should run afterburner on the jet dryers what was the speed on that jet dragster? it looked like it was still in the 200s? The ones i remember seeing always out mph the fuel guys but didn't have the e.t.
