I was watching Speed channel (I think) last night and it was showing the Nats. I think it was from this year. I watched it for about 15-20 minutes and twice the lights were fucked up. The racers seemed to be getting pissed.

 

Typical NTR..

[ChevyMan1972]

That would have nothing to do about "NTR"'s lights because NHRA brings there own timing system.....nice try though!

Overall a good weekend...but hurt some parts for sure. On the 1st run on friday night we broke 6 rod's in the lights. And on the 1st run on sat. we broke 2 more All teams are having same problems with rods and rod bearings when a pass is made and when the foot is let off the throtle it goes bang...and shit happens. Oh well lined up against Tommy Johnson JR. staged stayed up with him till 1/2 track then dropped 2 cylinders and ran a 4.93 at 270 also took out 2 more pistons allong the way
