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

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.

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 .................

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

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 ! ! !
