Default Re: Live from Englishtown -- NHRA SuperNationals

You funny John.....Senior Citizens only or F.O.G. drag racing....and I can surely relate to that although I don't need no bedpan yet. I am extremely glad I am not there! The SummerNationals was usually hot and humid.....sometimes very hot! The reasoning behind moving the race was for better weather....and better conditions for both fans and racers. It's been worse weather wise some years since they moved it, for a number of years now and looks like it is again.....


Anyone who was there in the old days will recall the camping over in the fields and the crowd looked pretty rough by Sunday......fireworks.....bonfires.....streakers.. .drunks....and some creative artwork on sign boards as well as chants from the stands that went back and forth.....Way more fun than 2009..........I raced at York for the very first SummerNationals....1970......I miss the old hot and humid days and would welcome a change back to July...
