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 taped because I like old school sling shot rails.

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.

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!)

All this racing is giving me the racing bug again. Maybe some day.
