Looking for a daily summer tire that hooks. I own a 6 speed 2017 5.0 with a blower making 730 and want a high quality tire that hooks, looks good and safe to drive on freeway/city. I want something that will last through the summer and when gets low can be put on as a show tire but still safe for normal driving. Which is better based on this info and can give more info just ask! (305/45/17)
Some of my pictures taken at the 2017 nhra dodge nationals
I snapped this funny car pix @ '17 Houston round of the NHRA. Ron Capps n Napa Sponsored.
Finally tried Pegasus's Wheels and Tires. I really like them. Just a small upgrade, but what a difference!
For the 1993 Indianapolis 500 Kenny Bernstein’s Budweiser King Indy Car team expanded to 3 cars as 4 time winner Al Unser joined Roberto Guerrero and Jim Crawford in a trio of Lola-Chevrolets. The Month of May proved to be an up and down affair for the Bernstein squad as it struggled with set ups all month but still managed to qualify all three drivers. In the race Al Unser had the best showing, leading briefly before dropping back and finishing 12th a lap down. Crawford had an early spin and finished several laps down while Roberto Guerrero clashed with Jeff Andretti and ended up in the wall. The month of May wasn’t all the bad for Bernstein though, as he pulled off a win at the NHRA stop in Englishtown, NJ. Defeating Rance McDaniel in the finals, his only win of the 93 season.

A lot of talk last night on the qualifying from Joliet about the Greek And Jim Head being best buddies. Jim Head from the mid 80s at Indy. Oh yes and GO Krista🤘🤘
I love watching NHRA.TV, but I’ve been wondering if I’m the only one who finds it odd how the commentators talk about passionate young female racers.
Maddi Gordon is a breath of fresh air for the sport. She’s got the kind of genuine excitement that can bring in new fans (I’m one of them). Yet every time I tune in, it feels like the guys in the tower subtly mock her for being so fired up — like they’re poking fun at the exact thing they wish they were doing instead of calling the race.
For example, tomorrow in Chicago when Maddi and Krista Baldwin go head-to-head in round one, Courtney called them both “sensitive.” What part of strapping into a 12,000-horsepower Top Fuel dragster exactly makes someone “sensitive”?
It might sound like nitpicking, but this kind of commentary sets a weird precedent. When talented, excited women do well and show real emotion, they shouldn’t have to deal with patronizing or diminishing remarks from the booth. NHRA has a chance to celebrate these drivers and grow the sport — why not lean into it?
I have not noticed what a piece of work Jason Galvin is !
Just prior to Q3 for funny car a few minutes ago I couldn’t believe that Jason Galvin said “pardon me” to Courtney Enders literally standing in the booth next to one another.
Jason seemingly perhaps had memorized an update as to where Matt Hagan stands this year & midway through Courtney just threw in “a big one” in reference to Charlotte win.
Jason looks at Courtney and gives her a “pardon me”.
WHAT ?!?!?
She’s a wealth of knowledge and a small interjection seriously didn’t warrant that from Jason.
I so very much dislike him as of today - never had a strong opinion previously.
Photo grabbed of broadcast right after she turned away from looking at him after his reprimand.
Thoughts !?!?
I'm planning on going to New Hampshire in June for the Nationals. I usually just go for one day and then drive home, but this year, I was thinking about staying the weekend. Unfortunately, I don't have anywhere to stay. Is sleeping in my car in the parking lot an option, or will i be thrown out? Any advice? Either way I forward to seeing you all next month!
Last year was a blast at the Epping drag strip for the New England nationals, can’t wait to be back in a few weeks! Here’s a few photos from last year.
I recently found my grandfathers old NHRA watch and tried image searching it to find no information on it. I just want to know what year it’s from and some history of it I’m assuming it’s discontinued.
Found at a SoCal yard sale. Seller knew nothing about it. I know who Ed Sigmon was. Any idea what the Avis award was?
I was working with a Funnycar team for the 4-wide in Charlotte. This was my POV for our run.
