Only 8 TF’ers for Pomona??

[Toejam]

just checked on NHRA.com! Wow...

 

[Luke Nieuwhof]

Nine now, but Richie Crampton, Steve Torrence, Scott Palmer (who announced he is doing the full season), Mike Salinas and no doubt a few others will be on there shortly.

 

[NitroTom]

and McMillen for sure. I saw the BVR trailer heading west Monday morning on 70W right behind the DSR trucks, so I imagine Bob will be at Pomona as well. That would make 14. There may be a few more stragglers...

on different note, I noticed Troy Buff is entered at Wild Horse Pass in the BME ride. I thought that Bill Miller said he was retiring from racing?

 

[Cliff]

So lets see who shows up at Wild Horse. NITRO FIX!

Virgie must have kicked Bill in the butt.

We talked with the Salinas crew today at spring training and they'll be out for the full season too.

Sounds like we are going to be seeing some different names in many classes this year.

Pretty sure Blake Alexander is driving for Bob this year.

 

[Mike]

Bill Miller said he would still be at some events, but not as many as years past

 

[TK]

Well, Richie, Steve, Scott, and Mike are now entered, but still no Blake Alexander nor anyone in a BVR entry. Monday evening is the deadline for entry, so hopefully we see a few more entries. Top Fuel stands at 14 entries as of today.

 

[Percboy]

About half the number of the 1999 Winters. Only 2(?) team cars in 99?
34 PS entries !

eleven touring cars this year? (including salinas, who BTW i want in a final round with scott palmer, at brainerd. is that asking too much?)

Saw on Facebook the last couple of days of a new team out at Wild Horse getting the driver Terry Brian licensed with Scott Gaddy doing the tuning, Don't know anything about these guys, but I wish them well.

Hey, these are Texas boys. Gotta root for 'em or my Texas fambly will kill me daid. Oh, couple of things. I noticed a lot of the Pro teams have a crew member assigned to filming the run. Saw it in this video as well. And the checkerboard paint on the track is new for this year. Now they just have to fix the restrooms. Loooong line for mens room as one john was broke. arghhhh

14 Top Fuels is pretty disappointing for the Opening Round???

Can't believe it myself considering that there are 20 Funny Cars entered.

 

[Funnycarfanatic]

It's the economic realities of the sport we love. I will take 14. Let's be glad we have that
