Thanks to everyone for clarifying it was Ormsby. I still think it happened to LaHaie once.

It did...going from memory but I think it was the 88 Mid South Nationals. Same as Antron's he kept the shiny side up.

'88 would have been the gold colored miller TF'r with small airplane wheels out front, and the mid souths would have then been in the fall after indy?
probably just before or after the 2nd topeka race? good recall on the lahaie incident.

what's everyone's thoughts on that tab that broke on ant's strut? holy cow, the slow-mo cam on the wing; the deflection of that strut as it released. wow.
wonder if they will trace that to metal fatigue? or bolt not tight enough? seems to be a part that mite be broken down every time the car is transported?
an incident like this makes you appreciate the titanium shield around the roll cage and/or enclosed canopy.

Sounds like Maynard racing could be Wilk and AB in FC and Tony and Justin in TF, maybe ...............

Are you crazy? Keep Lohnes, get rid of TPed and put in Beckman.

Lohnes is like a radio dj,thinks he has to talk till the green light comes on. Nhratv needs graphics and announcerless and id subscribe in a heartbeat

Lol,his old man didnt pay any dues amd didnt do any time.

He didnt,no jail and im not sure if he is paying anything back. He was pardoned by trump. I suspect there will be an american greed sbow on sometime in the future lol

You're right. I wasn't aware his sentence was commuted by Trump.

Old time AM, talked into and before end of music. Thank goodness FM came along. Even better now with streaming.

Why does Lohnes end every sentence with a cliche? Its like he's trying to make someone's highlight reel.

Anyone remember Wolfman jack? I used to listen to him broadcast out of Del Rio, Texas - XERB was the station, but it was in Mexico. He would talk thru the first 20 seconds of whatever song he played and talk again thru the last 30 seconds. Also sell chickens, etc etc. You'd finally get fed up with him and switch to KOMA in Okla City. I was stationed in Roswell, NM from 1964-67, so KOMA was better than the local stations. All AM of course.

Isn't that achievable simply by muting the sound? They show the detailed stats after every run. NHRA.tv is exponentially better these days than just a few years ago.

XERB......I believe was the source/inspiration for the song "Heard it on the X" by ZZTop.
