[zbudman]

Got to party with those Capco Boys last night. Who’s headed to Pomona this weekend?

 

[Ducksquasher]

Hoping to make it Friday...depending on work,.of course!

 

[HubbaHubbaLife]

Good headsup..... always a good time watching top fuel.

 

[Loony Toon]

I spent the last 10yrs. staying at the Fair Plex RV Park while working in the LA area. This will be the first time in the last 19 races that I will experience having to pay for parking.

 

[rivrrts429]

Our suite is 304. Just completed my catering & beverage menu yesterday. Hit my credit card today... $$ OUCH.

But I can’t beat the view lol

 

[PRORACER7474]

Will be there

 

[SoCalDave]

This will be the first winter nationals we've missed in 36 years. Our first date was there on Feb 3, 1985.
Suxs as she is in Seattle with family.

 

[2FORCEFULL]

when in Bonneville, we went out in the secound round, so i got to spectate, at their track , you can stand at the big end @ the lights above the track and look down, the speed at that end was unbelievable

Those guys seem like they could have some fun.

This will probably go down as being the hottest Winter Nationals on record, for that reason I will not be attending. I'll be missing the smell of nitro in the morning...

On a positive note: The high temperatures have nothing to do with climate change, climate emergency or global warming...

We'll be there Friday.

Any idea of the schedule for Saturday? We're gonna skip Sunday, and head out for qualifying Sat instead.

Fuel cars run at 4:30 and 7:30. Hemi under glass wheelstander, cacklefest and fireworks to follow.
Prostock at 3:30 and 6:30

The last summer race at Pomona was in 2001 for the NHRA's 50th anniversary. Who knows if there will ever be another.

It probably won't rain though.

 

[chvynhra]

I'll be there Friday 5ish

 

[Subadvantage]

Full event passes and will be out Friday with my oldest. Had plans to go to river for the next several days, so my daughter and her husband will be using them Saturday and Sunday. Excited to see some nighttime racing!

 

[boatnam2]

This year will be awesome, 40 bucks to park and a mile walk in, the first night pass will make it all worth it, well that and the 30 $15 dollar beers.

 

[JM21]

It is correct that they are running Pomona this weekend and then they will be back in November for the finals?

Do we really get to call 7:30 a night pass? I was hoping for full on darkness.

Prostock makes their 1st run at 7:15, nitro cars follow about 8:15. We'll call that a night time pass.

Amtrak has a better on time record than NHRA lol

You have a couple drops of oil they need to clean up and fuel cars won’t be running until 9pm.

 

[Gramps]

what's the ticket cost this year for Saturday?

I'd bet there's a 9pm curfew, track will be dark, parking lot lights off and gates being locked (LOL) or every whining bitch living in Pomona and Claremont will be complaining to their respective city leaders at the next city council meeting how their lives were ruined over 3 nights of noise.

Not really, but something happens it could be. I think they are having cacklefest at 8:30, that will be dark and cool when your walking out.

 

[poncho]

Will be there

Dallas Glenn?

 

[MonkeyButt70]

Are they requiring masks? I want to go today but there is no way Im wearing one.

 

[HubbaHubbaLife]

I spotted general admission Sat tickets online for $80..... don't forget they have costly beers so plan on over $100 all in. Funny, last time I went I think I paid around $60 at gate.

 

[Tom Slick]

Friday General $55.00
Saturday General $65.00
Sunday General $65.00

That looks legit.... so much crap online these days. Thanks for setting me straight.

I’m here, there are no masks required and the place is empty. Currently looks to be at 10% capacity.

Friday is when the suckasses go with there bosses

I typically called out sick on Fridays (nitro head-cold) a page out of my book suckers...

Let me say this again...I grew up in the wrong era!

I will say though, when I have sat in a FED it did creep me out where that pumpkin is!

…That’s why people started welding a metal strap across the back of the housing… sort of in a place where the spider gears might come out and get you..,
… I tried not to think about it..:

 

[BIG MIKE]

Bought a Saturday VIP ticket for $85.00 figure it may provide a rent to stay out of the sun between fuel rounds. There was a disclaimer you had to click accept on before you could purchase your ticket and it said masks will be required.

But if I have a beer in my hand all day they can’t make me where a mask.

 

[SoCalDave]

We how did it go last night?

 

[timstoy]

Heard only 13 TF and 17 FC

 

[chvynhra]

Yea probably less than that. Most didn't make it down the track without smoking the tires.

 

[chvynhra]

Crackle

 

[Rye]

One of the Top Fuel Eliminator drivers had to be pulled out of his car because of heat exhaustion at the starting line.

 

[rivermobster]

I dropped a friend off yesterday around 4ish...

The place was totally deserted. There was hardly anyone there.

 

[intense]

Is it on TV?

 

[Rye]

Is it on TV?

It finished about 4

Haha! My BIL ran an Econorail at Carlsbad, same setup, but the little 283/PG setup out of my 65 Impala wasn't much of a danger. lol. Still, It' is alarming straddling that fat Pumkin!

 

[DRYHEAT]

LEAH got the Wally.....

Yeah but it wasn’t much of a race.

 

[WATERDOG]

Why so empty. Pit side stands looked about 25% and it looking like the "Beer side" stands where closed.

 

[GOTTBoat]

Yeah but it wasn’t much of a race.

At least she didn’t hyperventilate and ask for help getting out of the car BEFORE the 4 sec. run!
