Proud of NHRA and the announcing staff, sellout Sonoma, 75 year NHRA anniversary (2 Viewers)

[LoPony]

This Sonoma weekend affirms why NHRA has been around for 75 years, and hopefully will be around for a long time to come. Galvin and Courtney are hitting their stride and doung a great job announcing, their enthusiasm is palpable and infectious. To sell out the crowd two years in a row (maybe longer, don’t know) at this track in Northern California speaks volumes. Congratulations NHRA.

An event close enough to me on the west coast, but I never attend. I think it is because I don't have enough information on the weekend (where to stay, where to park, amount of time needed to get to the track, where to sit) to attend.

I am certain I would get answers to these questions if I asked the knowledge bank here far enough ahead of time.

Congratulations to the NHRA for a successful weekend of racing!

Sold out all 3 days, when was the last time that happened?

Dad and I genuinely enjoyed the live broadcast today while working in the garage. Loved all the “upsets” and unexpected semi and finals. The overhead scans and drone shots are amazing. I remember seeing one where JR Todd had his roof hatch open and they panned across and you could see him sitting in there.

Absolutely one of the best races this season or any season in the past few yrs. I agree Jason and Courtney did a great job. NHRA showed why they have succeeded for 75 yrs. They put on a flawless show in Sonoma. The NHRA and the track ownership deserve a whole lotta respect. And so do all the teams !!

Courtney is doing a pretty good job of it, but they don't hold a candle to Reinhart you can see that on his podcast his knowledge is second to none he is right up there with the past great NHRA announcers

The final race in Denver did in 2023. Not sure the last time it happened anywhere where it wasn’t the final race.

agree on the fox/nhra announcing. everyone involved doing a great job.
turned channel to watch at 9pm cst last night. had to wait till 10 due to world cup replay.
race came on, first pair was not shown for over 30 minutes into show. why do they always do this!?
it is frustrating beyond belief. watched first rounds, then was getting too late.
went to utube and watched leigh millican hubbard's wrapup video.
it is great that sonoma is attracting a lot of spectators.
i thought we might see the wilk tether system activated in final yesterday.

For whatever reason, looking down track reminded me of Eddie Hill crashing there, 1990's I think. End of track goes up hill.
