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.

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.
