some really fast runs so far this AM. DA of about -300 ft.

69 PM's made the call for Q1 last night. jason harris .001 off #1 showing he is a threat to win again.
also, just turned on FLO's free friday stream on utube. they are prepping track, FLO has it's drone up taking great aerial shots of BMP,
then descending and zooming in on contestants in the lanes. IMO a great look, and IMO would work well for NHRA,
especially into and out of commercial breaks on broadcasts.

One car from an all 3.5x 32 car field after Q2.

One car from an all 3.5x 32 car field after Q2.

how low for the bump? (31) into the 3.5x's after Q2. wow. there were only 15 of 32 in the 5's @ the snowbirds.
are we going to see a 3.580 bump or lower? holy cow these teams are getting this class figured out.

 

[Rocket Man]

the bump wll probably be a 3.59.

FLO and IHRA both seem to have better coverage than NHRA. A taste of things to come?

...... So is Jimmy Taylor .......

was referring to j. harris winning the snowbirds, and potential bonus if he wins all three

 

[Rocket Man]

uwas referring to j. harris winning the snowbirds, and potential bonus if he wins all three

and I was referring to J Taylor being an equal threat to win the current event. The odds agains Harris winning either bonus have got to be about a million to one against Would be cool to see though.

Just finished watching Q3 and it was a great show. Brian announcing and great camera shots. Sound was even ok. It was exciting watching the 32 car bump go into the 3.59's

 

[mick]

the bump wll probably be a 3.59.

good call. 3.596

stevie fast finally breaks through with win in DI winter series yesterday.

 

[Rocket Man]

It was bound to happen. He was really good on the tree, as usual.

 

[mick]

as much as the DI winter series is a great 3-race series, positioned at a great time of the year in a great location,
it does not draw like the (2) pro test sessions (races) did. we'll see what attendance is like at the final race, WSOPM

70 great pro mods in one place and the fans do not come. I would go to one of the races if they were running 1/4 mile. I have no desire to spend a couple of grand for 1/8 mile. When Bandimere had the WSOP the fans didn’t go either. I went all three years but I doubt they had more than 5000 at any race. Nitro is the big draw for most fans.
