Pomona Finals 2026 (5 Viewers)

The weather for Fri and Sat looks kind of so-so with some rain possible. Let's hope they can get the entire race in as remember what a bust it was just last year with Sunday having to be cancelled.

On a related note, while heading west on I-40 this morning, I passed the Blake Alexander Funny Car truck/transporter heading west, east of Barstow. That would not normally be the direct route from Las Vegas to Pomona. I could not find if he was a DNQ at Las Vegas, but he definitely did not race there on Sunday. If he was not at Las Vegas, I am surprised he would make the trek all the way to Pomona from IN.

Glad someone started a thread on this! I’m looking fwd to Sat and Sun there - hope it stays clear Sat.

Blake wasn’t at LV. I saw on Facebook that he has a big Pronto event at Pomona. Hopefully he makes the field!

Thanks, Chris for that info about Blake.

I may try to attend Fri and Sat, hoping for the best as far as the weather goes. I sometimes like to go Fridays at Pomona because of the "Night of Champions" (or whatever they call it now) gathering after the end of the day at the NHRA Wally Parks Museum. Those are always enjoyable and a good chance for us fans to be a fly on the wall and listen to some of our famous drag racers speak about the topic of the evening.

Anyone ever hung out at the Sheridan Hotel bar after Fri or Sat Pomona qualifying? That can be quite the gathering spot for the crews to mingle after hours.
