O'Reilly NHRA Fall Nationals at the Texas Motorplex
September 25, 2009
I went to the drag races in Ennis today. Here are some photos I took.
My first car was a 69 Chevelle. There will always be a place in my heart for them.

I was there Thursday afternoon and ALL DAY Friday. Can't imagine not finding/seeing you guys!!!! Listened Saturday AM on the www.net to be disappointed to hear Mike Braswell go out in the 3d round with his '57 Wagon M class/Super Stocker Automatic after running dead nuts on his previous round time and collecting $1000. Also, disappointed to hear Tony Cowell went out 2d round in his Buick powered '71 Camaro in the GT class. Tony is another local WCFB carb expert. A good guy to know if you need WCFB or Quadrajet carburetor help. Both these guys are really helpful on the old WCFB carburetors. I was rooting for both of them. _________________ "A Classic Car is Not Aerodynamic" |

also ..
Chris does onboard video of runs ..
check the 3 below, this is Darryl Hitchman who runs in the Alky Dragster class, his car is a A/Fuel dragster (inj nitro instead of blown alky) ..
on the second one watch the safety guy when he realizes there is a onboard camera ..
the third video is Round 1 against Courtney Force which Ms Force won -
Courtney Force, Yorba Linda CA, McKinney-BAE, Left lane, (0.210) 5.464 267.06 def. Darryl Hitchman, Celeste TX, Swindahl-BAE, (0.069) 5.615 271.19
Darryl cut a great light and left big on Courtney and made a great race of it but came up short ..
oh and Chris' girlfriend does the bottom end on Darryl's car .. (I'm not kidding!)
