Thanks for the reply's guys, that's the whole reason I posted the pics, it was for guys like you to enjoy them just as I did.
I actually have every top fuel and funny car race recorded from that day, I thought if nobody was interested in the pit pictures they wouldn't be interested in the live race footage I have.
I am a die hard drag race fan as you can see, BUT to be honest it was the first NHRA race event I ever attended to and I was so impressed with seeing it live to experience the thrill and roar of both the 8000 horsepower motors and the crowd, it was CRAZY!
I give alot of credit and respect to those guys behind the wheel, it looks so easy on T.V, but to be there track side and experience it live was just priceless, those guys have brass balls to do what they do.
We showed Ron Capps some pictures of a pacesetter funny car and rail, he was very impressed and asked some questions about them, he was real cool amd understood the passion we have for our 1/4 scales.
Thanks for the comments Emilio and John, I will try and get some of the races up on youtube and post the links here for you guys to enjoy.
