Thanks for sharing. Love the cackle fest when they transition form gas/alky to nitro. Unleash the beast!

I've heard stories about injected nitro cars blowing off the head in the pits. Nitro can be nasty sometimes....

Ahhhh, summer...it feels so far away.
Funny Car Summer that is...

Phoenix has Serious Summer. We long for the 2 month "winter" we get. You know, under 100......
