"Live From" Virginia NHRA Nationals

[Jack Matyas]

Stock first round went off pretty much with the exception of the fact that the NHRA text system was not working again and the fact that I had no idea that I was one of the first three pairs .None at all so when I pulled in I was sent right to the lane and was soon to pull out without any equipment on - even after I was accused of cheating during the lane flip - really??? So it took me a few minutes to get my stuff on and the lane official even helped (thanks Bill) .My competition waited behind the water box and we went to the line together.He had a bad light and I thought it was over but while at fuel check one of his crew guys drove up and screamed about ten times that I'm a no good piece of ***** with many officials standing by - he had no idea how close he was from being ejected from the grounds. Way too much drama for me - this is supposed to be fun ……….


On to round 2.
