Live from Pomona -- NHRA World Finals
 

Here it is kids - the best racing in the world - in my humble opinion racing on Parker Avenue is even bigger than Indy - no circus stuff -- just heritage . Me , I'm just glad to be here -- after everything that has gone on during the last week this surely will be like a vacation .

Still some champs to be crowned here -- and I was extra glad for Lee Zane yesterday bringing the Stock World Championship trophy back to Division One .

Called home this morning and it seems the frost is on the pumpkin as they say-- but here in Sunny southern California -- well its shorts and short sleeves -- you get the picture .

Tech is open this afternoon for most competitors and there are several hundred on the grounds allready -- doesn't anyone work ? ? After that its going to be a little R&R -- my old butt is really draggin'...........later .

I gotta agree-the first time my comp car raced out there was in 2005 and I was able to get for Friday-Sun. It was so great. I was bummed I couldn't go when we raced there last year-my students have this thing about me being around when I give tests. I've never been to Indy and one year I'd love to go. But I'd send that car out to Pomona every year if the bank account allowed it (in this economy, the bank account is having a hard time providing hot dogs for the hot dogs and beans). Southern California is where it was all started. Plus I've got family there and none in Indiana.

Jack - You east coast guys don't understand. It's ALWAYS shorts and short sleeve weather here. Why else would be there be 20 million idiots clogging our freeways every morning.

Glad you made the trip out. Enjoyed your reports from Vegas.....

I was just looking at the super stock entry list for Pomona and there are 10 gt/aa entries (I'm registered in gt/ba but will be running gt/aa at Pomona). Is gt/aa becoming the new hot class? I sure hope so!

Jack,

Patsy and I always enjoy your post, please keep it going. We do have a simple request, please don't let that Tin Indian do any more rain dances. Be safe and good luck.
