Yea...last year started the harsh rule we got for them this year.

Pretty sure Cory Mac is doing the last 3 events of the year with Santo Rapisarda...not sure why they're only entered for Phoenix at this point?
I'm sure that will change.

I can't wait!!! Looking forward to seeing everyone!

Last years Las Vegas Oildown Nationals was by far the absolute worst national event experience Ive ever had in 30 years of loving this sport.

However, with that being said, I cannot wait till my feet hit the ground at McCarron International Airport!

The 1995 Winternatl's gives it a run for it's money! Both Fri-Sat Pro qualifying went so late they busted curfew both nights!

you know how many times we passed each other and have never actually meet. I know Dennis from way back we rodeod togather. I/we was pitted right next to you in Brainered as we sat and watched our clutch guy try to replace mastercylinder on that buick sunday right behind your trailer..... and many times at the patch.

Looks like we got our plate full! Add some pro mods and alcohol cars, and we got a lot of race cars!

Here is the link to the list since the OP didn't include it in his post

NHRA Las Vegas Nationals entry list

Is the "AJ 521" engine listed for Alexis a typo?

I do remember that. He must have got it fixed because when I picked the hauler up on Mon morning the car was gone. I had a great time working with Dennis on the nostalgia f/c. I was real bummed when I found out he wasn't going to be with us anymore. Make sure you stop by next time.

I hope so, because that motor is illegal in the nitro classes!

I know they were thinking about it, but last I heard they were still trying to put all the logistics together.

 

[Topfuel386]

I heard that the list for Vegas is still increasing. 27 or 28 top fuel cars. if there is enough parts left they will go to pomona.

 

[HEMI6point1]

With all those cars entered qualifying is going to be interesting for sure....

I never heard of that engine. Is that some sort of new-gen motor that was nixed by the NHRA tech department?
