"Live From" 2025 US Nationals

There were at least 6 NHRA tech guys, including Wesley Roberson ALL OVER the HEMI cars next to the barn/fuel check after Q1. They were measuring wheelbase, checking for the inner fender 'hump modification', checking carb offset spacing, and likely many other items I wasn't able to see, nor would it have been appropriate for me to stand over them and watch. I took a bunch of pictures of the overall scene, and will post them when I get real internet.

They were definitely taking things seriously !

Randy Eakins Goes 9.914 on his 11.35 index for a -1.436 under.

This is instant Horsepower and a 1st row seat to the teardown Barn..

Correct me if I'm wrong..

Thats the 2019 302 Na Cobrajet.

At only 117mph as well, with a broken car in the other lane. Sheesh.

Although, I don't believe that combination will be too hurt by the extra HP...

That's one way to find out if your engine builder is making legal stuff. I doubt he meant to go 1.4 under and get an immediate invite to the barn..

I hope he can get ot back together in time for the race.

I still can't believe he did that.. Absolutely no reason...

Suppose they hit it so hard it loses a full 1/4-second? It will still run 1.186 under.

Congratulations Ken. It's always fun racing you. I'm just glad I didn't get any weight. Lol. Good job.

Good morning folks. Stock and Super Stock get the day off, except for Stockers and Super Stockers that are in the barn. I will ride by and get some video.

Stock Q3, pending tech. Not sure why DRC has not posted yet. It was a pain just to get these sheets. I will have SS up in a bit.
