Yeah after she legged it out with the stop not on it, or set wrong.

Wow did anybody else hear the burnout??

I thought I did but it was just a train going by!!

See you Saturday.

Has anybody set the line on how many valve springs were sacrificed to the parts gods on that one????

When I heard that, I sware I thought I was listening to TAFC. Not pointing blame on anyone...but DANG!!! That was a zinger....

This is what ALOT of us were worried about...

Now if she's doing this just to keep her license current, and she doesn't make a representative pass, will she need to make three next time she gets into someone's car in the future?

Hopefully, she does good in the last two sessions.

Well, on her final pass today I think that someone forgot to take the throttle stop OFF!

More hot women driving in F/C is a good thing.

Also good to see Mendy Fry make an exhibition pass as well on Saturday.

I hope she does well as a nitro funny car fan its great to see more teams, I hate to sound like an absolute jerk but the first thing I thought of when seeing her picture was "I hope she is really good and wasnt just chosen to look good on tv and for the sponsors" I know that makes me sound like a jerk but im an honest guy and thats honestly the first thing that came to mind , I would just like to think that drivers are chosen because of their ability.

Now onto the topic of throttle stops for the burnouts , im 21 I live in new zealand throttle stops arent used here and well we dont have a true nitro class here either . I would like to think of myself as a knowledgable fan I try and learn as much as I can about the mechanics of everything and whats going on with the cars but one thing I honestly don't know is why on earth do they have those damn throttle stops? I mean look at all those years nobody used them .

Mendy Fry has been racing a long time, paid her dues, earned that run & then some. She definitely has the ability.
