NHRA Phoenix 2015 - Pictures Added

Well, I crossed one more off my bucket list attending the 2015 NHRA event in Phoenix this past weekend. I took a lot of pictures and will post them later when my five year old Grand Daughter gets home from school shows me how again!

Simply amazed by the power of the Nitro Cars. They just pound the senses and the speed is just unbelievable. Even running 1000' they were well into the 300 mph mark, down into the high 3's for ET.

Impressive was the turnout of Western Canadian racers. There were many comp, dragster, super gas, super stock and stock racers that made the haul down. I was impressed that the announcer gave these folks lots of attention when he could. I guess that with the weather it makes for a nice winter vacation. Amazing the number of Corvettes running in these classes, all years and all very quick.

Photos to follow. Promise.

Colour me green .

I was happy to watch it on TSN, certainly not the same as being there, other downside is virtually no coverage of the sportsman classes. Looked like they had a good turn out, stands seemed full.

You going to any others this year?

Looking forward to the pics.

x2 on the coverage wayne, just condensed coverage of the top 3 classes. murray, nothing beats being there eh ? any of the AA fuel classes are quite the assault on the senses. to me the smell of nitromethane is an intoxicating aroma, and the way it clings to your clothing is pure nirvana. :coolgleam:

I'm feelin' the thunder......!
Thanx for the pics.
I haven't been to a big NHRA meet since the Eighties.
Time to put it back onto my bucket list.

Thanks for the pics, there is nothing that can match the sound, smell and feel of the nitro cars, just incredible.

I never cease to be amazed at the power that people are getting out of engines. Street cars with manners are making more power than the top fuel cars did when I was a kid.

I was at the las vegas event end of oct. great time, even my wife enjoyed it. she did comment that our son's c5 which runs 10.40s seemed kind of slow after the nitro cars. hehehe.

Great pics! After being at the Rocky Mountain Nationals, I would like to go down south to see one of the big events!
Looks great down there. Not a spec of snow to be seen!
