I am on my second year subscribing to Flo. Last year was for the sprint car races this year with them carrying drag races I find my self just turning it on in the morning and l watch drag racing all day and sprint cars at night. The $150.00 subscription for one year I used to pay for only 3 or 4 events.

I really enjoy Flo and feel like I get my $150 worth within the first month. Lots of great stuff, especially for dirt track lovers. Looking forward to this weekends coverage.

At last count there are 70 Funny Cars registered to participate.

From the NHRA TAFC side: Kyle Smith, Chip Beverett, Ray Drew, Bill Bernard, Mark Billington, Ray Martin (in the 2nd Worsham car)

From the NHRA FC side: Del Worsham, Craig Simpson, Terry Haddock, Scott Palmer (the margarita maker is on site).

Guessing 18 or so Fuel Altereds.

Looking like a fun weekend in Texas.

Terry Totten will be driving a big show FC as well. They were supposed to do some NHRA races with it as well but not sure if those plans have changed.

Scott Palmer is driving a TAFC. That guy will drive anything, and have fun doing it.

I tried to make it work to get there, couldn't pull it off. Should be a crazy fun event.

I just saw on FB that Richard Hartman went 4.96 at 296 in Wilkerson’s AA/FA.

Damn.. Where are all the fans? I sure hope the stands on the same side as the photographer of the Worsham car are packed. And tomorrow should be a much better crowd.

Johnny West in #8, So cool to see him racing again.

Did I read this correctly? It pays only $6000 to win? I read somewhere else that It was $30,000. Which is correct?

Graves has it structured where it isn't a "winner take all", and everyone else goes home with nothing, type of deal. All the participants, first round losers, etc get some reasonable $$ to help pay expenses. That's why the winner's purse is pretty small. Remember, there isn't much money to be made by the promoter if this deal is a success, and he can loose his ass if no one shows up, or if it rains.

I caught the Funny Car Chaos at CENTRAL ILLINOIS DRAGWAY in Havana, IL back in 2019. I had never heard of the track before nor had been to an 1/8 track to watch a race. They put on a good show and it was cool to see the older funny car body styles, had a swell time.

My video from the first half of the day:
