Wow...
I'm sure at some point they're going to try to slow them down again.

I hope so.

seems like Mr Johnson has finally sorted the gremlins out

 

[Chris]

And to think it's still not low e.t. Of the event lol

 

[twostep]

Y'all quit spoilin' the party...they're gonna air today's event later on tonight and lots of us would rather wait for that. "Spoiler Alert" is your friend.

334 at 1000 feet. Geezus.

 

[yoda]

Do-Or-Dunn line is WHERE?

While tbe Harleys were being all obvious about sandbagging until the playoffs, you have to love Mr. Johnson being all subtle and under the radar...

Back to back Al Anabi championships, anyone?

And then the clutch kicks in...

And some of us want to know as soon as it happens... it's real easy not to find out results, just keep off all the racing sites until you watch on TV hours after the race is done...

and ends up not even being the fastest pass of the event.

It's also real easy to find out instant results without coming on here and putting them in your thread title. NHRA Twitter, ESPN3, 'Spoiler Alert' threads and such. Come on. I wasn't jumping on Russell anyway, just mentioning it as a courtesy. Not jumping you, either, just sayin'.

Being on Nitromater on Raceday Monday: Like standing in front of your house in the yard during a rainstorm and trying not to get wet...

There's a thread above this one titled 'Congratulations to the Pro Stock Winner!' (Spoiler Alert)

There's a thread over at CP titled 'Keystone Nationals Elimination Thread **Spoiler Alert**

It's common practice on every drag racing forum on the internet, when a national event is taking place, except NitroMater, apparently. Looks like I'm outnumbered so go right ahead. If you get flamed for it, remember, I warned ya.

I'm aware that in the grand scheme of things, this isn't exactly a priority issue.

 

[my friends call me Zappy]

Wow...
I'm sure at some point they're going to try to slow them down again.

These were very rare conditions, not gonna happen often, but yer right I'm sure the brain trust in Glendora will talk about it this week.

As long as the speeds don't get over 335 I don't think so....But you never know!

 

[Nunz]

Well they're still only running 1000ft, so they haven't had issues slowing down and stopping. I think more important than monitoring if someone resets the record from 334 to 335, would be how well the engines are staying together. Massey had a couple uncharacteristic boomers, but overall, the carnage doesn't seem too bad, given we're talking TF & FC. If they're keeping the oil off the track, I say let 'em have at it. These conditions are rare, and it's awesome to see record numbers come up. Did you guys notice the crowds this weekend? Huge (aside from when the rain chased many away)

that's being generous

The reason I go to this race is because I know there's a real good chance for record runs and I wasn't disappointed this weekend. Well worth the trip and I can't wait to go back next year.

Some old habits die hard... Between 2006 and 2009, we were posting 'live' times on each pair, every raceday... pipe racks, flops, and gas funnys(pro stock)... me, david g, Mike V, ray G.... That accounts for about 4000 of my posts or a little more.... things seemed more relaxed and people didn't get their panties in a bunch... people knew 'short chit' was hot dog fuller, lefty was a T/F driver from the Northern Kali Coast...

Personally, I want to see thread titles like this, (Langdon goes 3.71 @ 334) it shows what's important... if I didn't want to know, I'd stay away from all drag racing sites, instead of rotating through them all race day long...

The 334.15 was the fastest speed of the event, and fastest ever at 1000ft. I was in the stands and my brain just melted!!
