LIVE from Pittsburgh, IHRA Nitro Jam and Pro-Am

I feel fortunate to have Pittsburgh Raceway Park as my home track. I was pitted right where the spectators were entering the track. I fielded lots of questions from motor heads and their children, but mostly the question was where is Grave Digger? I have been going to PRP (old Keystone) with my father since I can remember, and I have never seen that spectator count there. I am glad they were there because it made my 2nd -.00_ loss in a week a lot easier to swallow. As soon as I pulled in after the loss, 2 kids about 8 years old came running over asking for a photo handout. I told them sorry, I do not have photos but I will use their digital camera to get a photo of them behind the wheel. They each got a photo, hopefully a memory, and I had a flooded engine

Note to all, disconnect throttle linkage before letting kids in the driver seat.

Congrats to all the winners and runners up! and to Denny Finan and Hot Dog Traupman for holding down Fort Pitt.
