Thanks for the schedule Mike, it should be a fun event, and nice to have the live tower cam up & operational this weekend. Will be interesting to see A/Fuel and Jr. Fuel Car counts? Bring on the Nitro Funny Cars! Wonder if Dennis Taylor will have his new car out?

The feed and audio from Las Vegas Motor Speedway Tower is excellent as usual here on the west coast, maybe that echo thing is another one of those east coast phenomenon deals?

Final round Action:
NF/C Romine (Man-O-War) 5.84 over Halstedt (Nitro Angel), Halstedt left on him it was a good competitive race!
A/F Bill Wayne over Kumre (didn't make the call), in Semi's JJ Kumre put a big RT.004 light on what seemed to be a mesmerized Dr. Kin Bates RT .123 for a trip to the final round.
Jr. Fuel Dean Carter 7.071 (RT.053) over Bob Lander 7.18 (RT.034), Carter was tough all day. He qualified with a 7.078 and was kind just running around that number all day. (wire-to-wire deal)

Thanks Mark, there's a little more Here.
The Rockabilly Rod Reunion NHRA Heritage Series event at The Strip at Las Vegas was affected by high winds over the weekend forcing all Final Round eliminations to a Monday, Memorial Day finish.
When the dust clouds settled it was Paul Romine charging through a tough Nitro Funny Car field to pick up his first Wally, having competed at NHRA venues since he drove his Gasser in the mid-1960’s. Romine “Man-O-War” Mustang took the final round win over Mike Halstead driving Mike McCain’s “Nitro Angel” Plymouth Duster with a 5.878 ET at 246.62 mph to the Duster’s 5.949 ET at 244.07 mph.
While Halstead held a holeshot advantage off the starting line, Romine’s top end power by Mike Cavalerri charged past his opponent at the 1,100-foot mark to take the win light.
