NHRDA World Finals 25 Sept Heartland Park Topeka, Ks

[Bricks]

I know it's in Kansas, but it's not too far from you fellas.

This will be an awesome event...guaranteed. Come on out and root for me. Or would "cheer" be a better word....

Diesel Power and Diesel World magazines have free tickets in their Sept (I think) editions so you can shave a couple of bucks there.

Good luck Steve, what class are you racing in??

 

[Bricks]

Sportsman/ET....the slow guy class

 

[dragogt]

Ya but,

racin is racin and everything else is bs....... Think ya can win it???

 

[Bricks]

The truck's running very consistently, and I've got the division 2 championship this weekend in Colorado to sharpen up on the tree a little more....with a little bit of good luck anything can happen.

I wouldn't be driving all the way out there if I didn't think I had a chance.

 

[dragogt]

Well duh...

But I'm sure theres gonna be some fast trucks there, (ok so ya I lot my train of thought there)....

 

[Bricks]

Sportsman/ET is the bracket class....how fast you are doesn't matter.

If you're faster than 12.0 you can't run brackets in NHRDA...you have to move up to Super Street, which is head-up racing on the pro tree. Needless to say I'm nowhere near having that problem.

 

[dragogt]

Ah ok that explains a lot...

All you have to do is get your Tree dialed in and your golden....

 

[Bricks]

That's important, but reaction time is what makes or breaks you.

I could see myself in Lenexa on September 25th....

Cool....but you've gotta go about 1 more hour West to see this race.

It's in Topeka. Well, just South of.

 

[O'Rattlecan]

Topeka, Lawrence, Lenexa, Nantucket - whatever.

Ryan

 

[Bricks]

You're right, not important as long as you get there

 

[O'Rattlecan]

Just read about that type of racing. Sounds interesting - easy for anyone to get into without a big bank account.

Other than travel expenses if you're going to race sanctioned events, it is. You don't need to sink a ton of dough into your vehicle.

That's not the only type of racing at this event though...there are 5 classes, all the way up to full on dragsters that are capable of 6 second passes.

 

[BIGRED911]

its all about reaction times and consistancy..good luck to ya man, id offer a ride in my trailer for your truck if ya didnt wanna drive all the way but i never know when im gunna be in L.A...ill try ta be there if im home..

 

[Truckin4life]

Not this year man.

 

[Bricks]

Well, I see the image is gone, so I'll post it up again.

This is a big step toward getting diesel drag racing into the national spotlight. It would be great to see a lot of support for the NHRDA at this event.

 

[dragogt]

I think you can still get tickets in the Diesel magazines...

8 Lug, Diesel Power and Diesel World all have free tickets in their September editions.
