NHRA kicks off their season this weekend at Ponoma!!! :D :driving:

Things to watch for...

  • New title sponsor -- NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series

  • New Crew Chief -- for the once unbeatable Tony Schumacher

  • His former Chief -- With newly formed team with Larry Dixon at the wheel

  • Ashley Force "Hood" --- She got Married (DAMN!! :mad:)

  • Lastly my good friend Fast Jack Beckman -- Looking to keep the ball rolling after having a good season last year in Funny Car! :thumbsup:

Here is the Ponoma Race Preview Blurp...

Every February since 1961, fans have flocked to Southern California not just for the un-winterlike weather, but also for one of drag racing’s grandest traditions: the unveiling of new cars, drivers, teams, and sponsorships at the season opener. The Big Go West plays out at the fabled facility known for its outstanding traction, smooth surface, and potential for record *performances. Teams hope to use the opener as a springboard in their pursuit of a spot in the Countdown to 10 championship program.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Who do we have to kill, I mean who lucked out with Ashley??

He's one of the guys on her crew.

Glad they finally got to finish the race. Took them until Tuesday.

There appears to be many changes in NHRA. The tight economy is evident here, too. Many teams reshuffled as far as personnel go. Some of the top drivers currently out with no sponsors, or no ride. There is a Sheik from Qatar as co-owner of one of the teams (Al-Anabi Racing). I usually go to Commerce, GA (Atlanta Dragway), but am not sure I will this year. I already pre-ordered my tix for the NHRA Nationals in Concord. Can't wait to re-visit that place.

Yeah more than likely - I'll hit Atlanta again & possibly Bristol.

    • I watched a clip of all the offensive snaps. Young threw into some tight coverage and the guys made some plays on the ball. He also really missed some throws.  He has this middle of the field thing into a tight window pretty good and made three or four nice plays but he was just too inconsistent with his accuracy especially in the red zone. Today and in general.    That Int where people were chastising Legette for ‘not fighting through the coverage’, he in no way could have gotten to that ball. IMO. I think he thought it was going to hit the ground and didn’t see the defender coming for it. But not sure what he could have done. The camera doesn’t show the spatial relationship very well, I think the ball was way off. maybe 6 feet or more off target to the inside of the field.  Rico is a beast. And a very good receiver.   That was my impression without dissecting and rewinding, just letting the video roll. I did rewind the int two or three times to look at that one. 
    • My biggest issue with keeping Darnold, which I felt we should have done, is we would still have Fitterer. And everything that came with that.  I think Morgan is going to be good.  Baker, just did not play well at all here. Not sure what else we were supposed to take away from it at the time.  That’s my short ‘I don’t want to argue about it’ take. 
    • Even if we somehow make the playoffs we will be one and done so fast. Seattle, Rams, TB, Panthers, Detroit and Philly are all better than us.
