Live from Phoenix - NHRA Arizona Nationals
 

A few minutes ago they opened the gates and it was like the second coming of the Gold Rush - racers were hellbent to get into the pits -- don't know why the big hurry as we're all going out by the lake - no Sportsman exceptions thank you .After a couple of days of R&R everyone's batteries are recharged and can't wait until they drop the flag tomorrow morning .You wouldn't believe how the place is already - if I didn't know better I'd say there are more cars than at Pomona -- optical illuision probably .

Today is mostly parking and tech -- most of us will take time to do maintenance and some clean-up on race cars and tow vehicles alike .Took a few pics just for fun .........In the first picture is Wayne Totaro -- the new licorce consumer champ -- he and Mark ate eight pounds ( 7 red and 1 black ) in a little over in a week -- Wal-Mart stock went up .In the picture he's trying to borrow some off a Japanese guy with no luck ..............How fitting it is to have a bankrupt sign next to the track ( see pic 2 ) .............later -- we've got generator problems to solve -- more of Wayne 's non -maintenance coming back to haunt him .

How about the lake next to our pit ..............its a real ride to the starting line .Later ..........

For those of you interested it a very sunny day with temps in the low seventies

leber , leber , leber , leber.,,, tear em up

Re: Live from Phoenix - NHRA Arizona Nationals
 

Friday Jack, Friday....... you get tomorrow to rest up.

Re: Live from Phoenix - NHRA Arizona Nationals
 

Thanks for the pictures Jack. I'm not going to Firebird this year, saw you run at Pomona. I have to get my old thunderbolt ready for a PSCA race here in Las Vegas. It seems now after almost 50 years since I started racing and all the different cars I've had the stockers and Super stocks get my attention the most.

Re: Live from Phoenix - NHRA Arizona Nationals

Re: Live from Phoenix - NHRA Arizona Nationals
 

Thanks Bob ----forgot about the extra day in between---- going sightseeing ???????

Re: Live from Phoenix - NHRA Arizona Nationals
 

Re: Live from Phoenix - NHRA Arizona Nationals
 

The lines getting in today lasted to the end of the day ( see pic one ) -- not sure where they are putting everyone but I'm more than sure some won't be pleased . Tonight some "friends" took me out to dinner - where you ask ? They told me about a great place - the "Heart Attack Grille" -- sounded good so .......ya gotta see the picture .Lastly -- the Winternationals Stock winner ( although not here yet - he's at school ) Brad Burton was rewarded here with beachfront property .................

Re: Live from Phoenix - NHRA Arizona Nationals
 

Jacko ,
Nothing personal of course, but you don't need to be going to the Heart Attack Grille.
See ya Friday

Re: Live from Phoenix - NHRA Arizona Nationals
 

Markie -- I passed on dinner at the famous "Heart Attack Grille" and instead had a nice quiet meal at Red Lobster ........................and probably still clogged my arteries ! ! !

Re: Live from Phoenix - NHRA Arizona Nationals
 

Went the the Heart Attack Grill last year when I went out for the D-7 race and "WOW" talk about blowing a News Years Resolution. The food is just unreal and the the waitress there....must say very nice (them alone could give you a heart attack).

It maybe out of your way a little bit but there is this Mexican Restaurant (not sure of the name...cause it's a hole in the wall that sits on the corner) in Apache Junction that is too die for. My good friends the Taylors took me there when I got into town last year and the Burritos were out of this world.

Re: Live from Phoenix - NHRA Arizona Nationals
 

Jack ,You have a PM .....Tom

Re: Live from Phoenix - NHRA Arizona Nationals
 

Today was one of those days that we all need but don't want to admit to -- clean , polish , adjust and just plain get ready for our first pass down the 1320 .Even the NHRA was doin' it today - the track looks great and all of their new FORD support vehicles are spiffed up and shiny awaiting tomorrow and the crowds that will view them .

Most of us got teched in today -- and again without much fanfare thank God .Unlike the old days when we got our "stuff" busted everytime we came to a national event today the new NHRA is more about making suggestions about how we can be safer and welcoming us to have a good and safe race .The economy has changed us all for sure...............took a few pics along the way today .

Tidbits- Spoke with Joey Wilkes today - he won't run the GTO at this event- but he will drive the Challenger that Irv Johns owns in A/SA .

Re: Live from Phoenix - NHRA Arizona Nationals
 

Here's a few more pics -- seems there are more than the normal amount of Chrysler products at this event - sooooo........................

PS-- Almost forgot - for those of you keeping tally -- our champion licorce eater ( Wayne Totaro ) today while at a CVS purchased another three pounds bring the total up to a whopping eleven pounds since he left home -------- soon strawberry twizlers will be coming out his -- ah ....ears ! ! !

Re: Live from Phoenix - NHRA Arizona Nationals
 

Jack,,,have someone take you up on the hill to Rustler's Roost,,its a great place and the food is good also. You can even order rattlesnake if you want to. After dark a beautiful view of the Valley of the Sun,,,,,,,,,good luck this weekend too.
Danny Durham

Re: Live from Phoenix - NHRA Arizona Nationals
 

Jack, I think Wayne needs to install a licorice dispenser in the racer, ala the Waynes Worlds Pacer!!.....Tom

Re: Live from Phoenix - NHRA Arizona Nationals
 

Finally ! ! ! In a little less than an hour we hit the track and what a pretty morning -- blue skies and sunshine - what a day it will be .Temp at this moment is 53 degrees , barometer at 28.65 with 51% humidity and a final DA of1599 - not to terrific for this early in the day .

SuperStreet out first then Stock .............

Re: Live from Phoenix - NHRA Arizona Nationals
 

First Stock Q-pass in -- yup its slow here just like they said - I'll give you times when the're out .......... SuperStock up soon

Re: Live from Phoenix - NHRA Arizona Nationals
 

SuperStock got their first TT in

Re: Live from Phoenix - NHRA Arizona Nationals
 

I was told it is one of Byron Setter's cars.

Re: Live from Phoenix - NHRA Arizona Nationals
 

Hi Jack: That ss/gm is Rick Watters car driven by Josh Edwards-buick v-6
wild sounding car.

Re: Live from Phoenix - NHRA Arizona Nationals
 

Greetings from New England Jack... The M/SA Harry Dolittle '02 Firebird....That would be a V6 combo, or a LS1 convertible car? Mid 40's, clear and sunny here for the past 2 days. Snow is disappearing....but I won't say it's spring just yet. Good luck out there and go some (6--7) rounds.... :) WJ

Re: Live from Phoenix - NHRA Arizona Nationals
 

Did Jeg fix his rear suspension? I see he made a pass.
Larry

Re: Live from Phoenix - NHRA Arizona Nationals
 

Harry's car is a V6.

Re: Live from Phoenix - NHRA Arizona Nationals
 

Hi Dave. How about the #31 qual. '02 Firebird O/SA of Bill Nelson? 2 classes lower than Harry... a V6 convertible, maybe....or just added ballast? Thanks for the help. BTW, where are all the Mustang CJ cars hiding?? Best wishes. WJ

Re: Live from Phoenix - NHRA Arizona Nationals
 

Definitely a convertible....thanks Auto Imagery! As far as the CJ's go, all I can say is that none are hiding in my garage!!
