My Pomona2 pics and what happened to me on Saturday

[.]

I took a few random pics across the 4 days, so let's start with Thursday stuff:

got there in time to watch the 1st alky session

 

[.]

The rockstar car coming back from the scales. Almost looks like one of those scale models huh?

Heading to the nitro pits. The atmosphere on Thursday is so cool.
I didn't know the NAPA trucks had the same paint scheme as the car!

DHL funny warm up

 

[.]

Hillary's boys were waiting to warm up the car....

....but 1st waited for Grubby's guys to do theirs

BME car warming

 

[.]

wicked nitro pushed me back!

Mr. Worsham listening about a new intake

 

[.]

"Cataract" Jack Beckman

just kidding Jack.

 

[.]

This is a badass meeting right here!

IMHO the monster car is stunningly beautiful

 

[.]

 

[.]

You guys ever notice the red dot on some of the cars?
I finally see what it is!

 

[.]

Here's that new manifold again being shopped around

the badass meeting was still going on, but with one third less bad-assedness

head on over to the staging lanes

 

[.]

the slot is where they squirt the gas(alky?) to start the motor

 

[.]

So head on over to the top end stands, and look at the difference between 1320 and 1000 ft (red arrows)

John and Rhonda enjoying warm West coast sunshine and nitro. Great to see them.

 

[.]

back to the pits

Mr. Worsham explaining qualifying to guests

puttin' the wing away

Grubby heading out

 

[.]

These were the only "rita" mixers I could see. Mini-ritas.

Del and the beautiful Mendy Fry

This alky funny went into the sand trap, but was ok

 

[.]

end of the day Thursday

 

[.]

Friday now, I see this self-contained A/V rig being pulled around.

There were lots and lots of students at the track on Friday. Here was an informational table in the alky pits

 

[.]

heading to the stands along the return road, I saw this really pretty girl on a P/S motorcycle!

Crew chiefs out for a walk

 

[.]

For the nitro classes, they put the finishline markers, and then remove them when they are done

 

[.]

a mini cacklefest was lit, and as all Pomona visitors know, lots of aviation coming and going

the top end bleachers were draped with massive AAA of SoCal banners

which sucks because now we can't go there to watch comp and super class racers fender race.

 

[.]

oopsie, blew the panel

Hey, check out this vid of Randy Goodwin's 5.66! It was a thing of beauty!



Great job guys!

Lit up with lots of neon concession stand

This was Wilk's reception at the Residence Inn of Ontario Friday night

Wilk was very gracious and spent lots of quality time with each guest!

I checked out the hotel and it's facilities. Pretty good! This would be a good place to stay for you out-of-towners! The staff were excellent, the place was clean, and the location was convenient and safe. The Residence Inn across the street from the Ontario convention center near the Ontario airport.
