Pacific Raceway in Kent Washington

I’m the first to embrace change for positive moving forward enhancements —— BUT hearing Alan announcing the past 3 days has been so enjoyable. You can’t teach tribal knowledge and it brings so much to the overall experience - just saying

YAY to whomever hired him to cover this event

When I was in my 20's I can remember watching a video called American Nitro and the two main characters were these magnificent Drag Cars. From memory the sound/music was quite haunting.

Northwest Nationals In Seattle Washington

I'm not sure if its their choice or if these small budget teams eventually want to be full time and get big sponsors but can't. I bet its both but I'm not sure where small budget teams usually fall on the spectrum. Considering how expensive it is to drive it wouldn't surprise me if most only do it when they feel like it or have the money. I think even big sponsor drivers take a break or retire because of the cost.

All time top fuel? Considering he's 4th all time in wins but he's got more longevity than others above him, he's now a 2 time champion and has 5 runner ups in points too. Looking like he might finish his career with another 10-15 wins and maybe 1-2 titles before Mitch moves up in a few years. 28 years in top fuel.

I think the odds are mostly against them but I don't know if they're actually competitive or not. The regulars don't seem very threatened or like it's real competition majority of the time.
