Mr Westcott has the Ford engine together with the new fuel injection and has made quite a few dyno pulls.

Great to see Gene Bichlmeier qualify his '55 Chev in the 6th spot.

And thanks to John Irving and family for continuing to make us Aspen/Volare fans very happy.

Unfortunately, I won't be at the Phoenix race this year to visit everyone.

Thanks for the kind Words!
We got the entire herd to the third round.
We will be hard at it in Phoenix!
The Super Stock car is the old project "Bracket Bird"
out of Hot Rod Mag in the 70's with 000,029 Miles on it!
That was first race for it and the little 318 ran 11.0s with
break in oil (Thank you TriCity Performance!)

Angry Re: Live From 2016 Winternationals

I just saw the re-runs of the Pro's & I was wondering where all the people in the stands were on Sunday ??? I remember it being standing room only the 4-5 time's I attended ? There were more empty spaces than people in the stands?? Looks like NHRA had done a nice job on the event , but were's the Fan base ? Did they increase the ticket prices again ???? Did anybody else notice the empty stands at Pomona ???

Dave ,Expensive ticket prices and even more expensive hot dogs and sodas equals No fans in the stands. I overheard one spectator tell his young son, ....Son I'm sorry but there are only a handful of stk/SS cars here today. I almost cried .......

Well Rick, Bill O'Connor's Omni, and my Cavalier tried, but he just missed his chance to do that by .001 too quick on the starting line, and I conversely, was .006 too quick to the finish line, in our respective races. The good news is we' ve gone rounds before, and where I'm concerned this was the first of 8-10 points earning races on my schedule, and I (like Bill), feel very good about the 2016 season, and our next two races are here in metro Phoenix, where we both have gone rounds....

I also did notice there was a lot of empty seats for all the pro final rounds.I took my wife for the first time to Pomona last year and when we bought lunch she was shocked at the price of the junk food and ticket prices on Sunday.

i think the reason you saw alot of empty seats because it was a holiday weekend for most people with the holiday monday and also sunday was valentines and i dont think everyone's gfs or wife's wanted to be at the drag races
