Drag Racing

[Central Bassman]

I know this is the Nascar page but i dont know where esle to post this. ok so... Is there anyone esle around here that like to watch drag racing on sunday night on the espn???

[LMITOUT]

Yep!

[harvey lee]

I watch it all the time. Big John has really been having a baaaaad year. I wouldnt be suprised if he only runs another year or so until he gets Ashley going well.

[Central Bassman]

yea John is haveing a bad year... After watching that TV show i dont knwo how he does it with all the stress he has. I really like Larry Dixon in TF and Ron Capps in Funny Car. But really just like to see them go fast and have a good old fashion drag races... Who do you guys like??

[harvey lee]

I watch drag racing because of the Force and his team. My old favorites of E. Hill and the Snake are now just standby's. Another great one was Bob Glideon in his Pro-stock.

And one cannot forget Shirley Muldowney or Kalitta. Or, a old Minnesota favorite of Tom Hoover.

My wife and I always have it on. We both like watching everything, and as my wife always says...I get to watch my girlfriend race. If she can enjoy watching Kasey Kahne for Cup races, I can enjoy watching Ashley Force in NHRA.

Boy did she have her car sideways in the semi's yesterday... Lucky she was able to at least get it straightened out before hitting something.

Eddie Hill!!!!!

Eddie and Ercie Hill are two of nicest most down to earth people I have ever met they were always my favorite people "racers" to chat with every year up in Brainerd.

In 1983 Eddie covered the quarter-mile track of Phoenix's Firebird LAKE in 5.16 seconds. The feat marked the first time in history that the world's quickest quarter-mile time was recorded on WATER rather than asphalt.

Pier,

you going to be up there this year? This will be my first time and I am looking forward to it. I'll get to see my girlfriend up close andy maybe meet her personally . We'll have to see if we cant get our paths to cross somewhere up there...put a face to the name..

My other girlfriend (angel Sampey) would be nice to meet as well. Don't know why she chose the lane she did in the semi's sunday...it was slow all the way..

I have not been there in 5 years most of my friends quit going we always talk about resurrecting the trip but it hasn't panned out, the early years were insane to say the least.

Try to get close to the starting line for a few top fuel runs it's a must...
