So NHRA.com announced a "Fan Fest" in La Verne for 11/3/12. No mention of where in La Verne. For anyone who's interested it'll be at the corner of 3rd and D in old town La Verne. NHRA's marketing skills are certainly suspect, as has been pointed out many times on THIS website.
I sent the marketing dept. an email, asking if they are just assuming that the out-of-towners coming in for the Finals even know where La Verne is, much less old-town La Verne. It also got me to thinking if La Verne is trying to make "nice" with the NHRA after years of bad relations. It wasn't too long ago that most of the racers would be hard-pressed to spend a dime in La Verne. Too bad there's not a good spot in Pomona to have the fan fest, other than the fairplex.
After the Winternationals were completed, I met some friends at T. Phillips Alehouse in downtown La Verne, and Allen Johnson, Jim and Toni Yates and the rest of the crew, sat a couple tables over from us. a few minutes later Jimmy DeFrank and some other friends came in also. I know there were others, but I can't remember who else I saw.
The NHRA website was worse than Piss-Poor for so many years. After the improvements the last couple of years you guys need to find something else to ***** about. I did.
