There was a car (Nostalgia FC, I think) that went into the catch net and backed up the schedule.

Torrence Racing released a statement citing their lack of attendance at Pomona. It sounds as if they expected some kind of special treatment as Steve was appealing NHRA's decision on punishment. The fact is he got off really easy for what he did.

If a normal peon pulled that cr*p = He would never see the inside of a
Race Track for quite a while!

In the old days, If we had a headed discussion = I would make sure my hands were behind my back to leave no doubt
who instigated the assault and keep my hands to myself.

I hate NHRA
They don't care about the history.

Hmmmm, 13 Top Fuel cars for a 16 car field, and more than a full field for Pro Stock. Maybe NHRA should let the Pro Stockers run the entire series again, and only have top Fuel at "select" events, like they did when Pro Stock had less than full fields. Yeah, thats gonna happen!

Talking Re: Anybody out there MISS the Torrence family at Pomona ?

Buddy of mine posted a picture on FB yesterday of both Torrence rigs parked by White Horse Pass.

I couldn't have said it better myself Pete!

My main regret about Tanner is Erica didn't get to take him out in their rnd 2 race at the World Finals (if only her car ran the 6.517 she ran in rnd 1, in rnd 2). He got her by .02 off the line, but they both slowed to 6.56's.
