Pomona Weather Friday / Sunday

- Start date
I'm not greedy, just wanna see a 3.59 in T/F......
By the way, TA/FC is brutal. The top 8 all in the 5.40's. 5.485 is the #8

Not yet. They're having a lot of traction problems, both TF and FC. Cruz ripped off a nice 3.84 but that was about it. No TF car is in the 3.60s.
Cloudy and in the low 60s.....sounds to me like it was too cold. I'd rather see it 70 degrees with some sun and the track in the 90-100 range with that good dry air. Even PS isn't any quicker than it normally is with decent conditions (#1 is 6.52/211)
As much as I love the cool, dry November "NHRA Finals" weather we always seem to get, it does always seem that the best Qual session for the Fuel cars ends up being 1st session on Sat. By the time the 2nd Fuel car session rolls around on Sat (last qualifying session of the year), we're all ready for some "Rotate the Earth" runs, but the track cools off enough that half the cars go up in smoke at the hit. Would be great if it was just a bit warmer to keep the track temp up as Carl states.
Ok, minor miss. It’s 3.64, 3.65, 3.66. 3.67. What Do I win?
Wow, Brittany, 338.94. You get to serve me a heaping helping of crow.Ok, minor miss. It’s 3.64, 3.65, 3.66. 3.67. What Do I win?

Grubby's got his #1 so far, if you listen they still might push tomorrow for a few more points. 2 qualifiers tomorrow, if lucky can make it more than 20 point lead before Sunday! Will have to see how ladder works out for Sunday. Very, Very close!
Out on a limb here but AA/FC Hight will step up, but how about Cruzer? Where did that .84 come from? Don't forget about Hagen!

I don’t think you’ll see the 300/340 but we’d ll love to. Too risky. She needs all the points she can get in a close contest so can’t take a chance on overpowering and coming away with no points for the session. So I think another .65 or so, getting Second points for the round won’t hurt but getting none might.

Keep in mind round wins are worth 30 points this race.
I do...and I don't. My guess is the first time someone hits 340, NHRA will mandate the timing retard kick in at an RPM lower than it already is to prevent it from happening again. The 300mph 660 record? I'm surprised that hasn't been broken. I forgot who it was but someone hit 298mph over 20 years ago. Morgan Lucas came within a whisker of 300 back when he was racing.

Just IMHO but will be surprised if NHRA aknoledges a 340 MPH, maybe once but not like the other barriers. Goodyear says tires are good so who knows.
Does anyone know how long and how$$$$ it takes to develope new tire technology?

Goodyear has already said that they don't want the liability involved and the tire can't ever make them enough money to be worth it.
