I took these photos at the Snowbird Nationals in Bradenton during the first weekend in December. The car counts seemed way down from previous years, but the cars there were still fun to watch. Enjoy!

That's Elaine Larsen, who has been doing the jet dragster thing for several years with help from Embry Riddle Aeronautical University. She works a crowd as well as anyone I have seen. It is a shame our sport and the economy are such a mess now because she would be an excellent candidate for a TF or FC ride.

On another topic, that track, from a spectator's perspective, is a toilet.

I usually go to this event also but missed this year. There are no nitro cars there but some of the alkys are nitro injected so you can get a bit of a fix!!!!

He will give rides, although he can't at Bradenton because of insurance reasons.

There were almost no alky cars this year either. Pretty sad state of affairs, but those that did show up were cool to see.

Elaine Larsen is a bundle of energy, and charms folks of all ages! I make sure to stop by her pit area every year, just to watch her work.

I get the feeling that Lynn and Lisa love showing pics of Florida in December while the rest of us Freeze our Keester's off!

What a great looking event. Looks like the old IHRA show. Ya know, I'd rather see a good show then see great racing anyday. I wish they had more events like this make the rounds up here in MN.

Hey, we're roasting most of the year...we might as well take advantage of the one part of the year when living here is a plus!
