Dave-----do you know anything about whether any one in the Shu family ever served in the military?????????
Don't know Jerry, guess I never heard either way. Seems a couple times every year they are raising money for one Vet's group or another though????
and there electric stuff is manufactured in China--------
and now the World Finals at Pomona are on!!! Great weekend for racing!
Just watched the replay of Jack Beckman's explosion in qualifying again. Says a lot about the safety gear and firesuits that he got out of that mess without becoming a crispy critter!!!!!
Really great to see Allen Johnson win Pro Stock Championship, only 17 years of trying and he finally gets one!!!! Way to go Allen!!!!
Yeah, good to see something besides a Summit car win the deal! And Schumacher has the championship sitting in the palms of his hands.. His to lose!
Courtney takes out CAPPS! Oh No!!
Yeah, thought maybe Capps had it this year, but runner up again..... Congrats to Fast Jack though, one heck of a year for him and his crew!!!!
what he said .. anything but a chevy driver ,,,,Quote:

I'd say Brandon just hit the top of Antron's Christmas list!!!! Heck of a good race, just like the rest of the final rounds!!!!
I was hoping since late yesterday after qualifying for Cruz and Courtney to be in the final---------and of course for Cruz to win!!!!!!!!!!!!! got my wish,now the off season begins------------
Fram and Prestone leaving DSR---2 of the oldest names in automotive????????????????
Was good to see Cruz finally pull one off, least he'll have good things to think about during the off season!!!!
Don't know about the rest of you, but I'm pretty discusted with the ESPN coverage of NHRA------Almost the total 3 hours were about Beckman,Capps,Antron Brown,Shumacker----------Courtney and Cruz were at the upper levels during every qualifying pass running 4.00 and they barely showed there runs and no discussion during the race about the different sides of the ladder/who could end up racing who----------But lots of time in Antrons trailer, beckmans trailer, around Capps and his daughter, Tony's pit----------I thought this was the Finals with a 16 car field---if it was all about the championship, only top fuel would had went the 4 rounds---pro stock would not have run at all after qualifying, and f/c would of been done when Courtney beat Capps----------------------
Anybody else having problems with ESPN3 internet connection? I've been getting an ''error code 305'' for the last few weeks. Ended up listening to the deal on the NHRA site ..... audio.
Jeff tried it on his computer & gets the same error code. :confused:
I was hopin' Capps would finally get it done. As far as the coverage, it was the same old same old in my opinion! NASCAR gets the same thing, They always talk to Jimmie Johnson or Jeff Gordon... they never seem to talk with Matt Kenseth or Kyle Busch. It seems like in Funny Car they always talk to John Force, In top fuel it's always about Antron, remember when Warren Johnson was hot? They never talked with anyone else! Even when Bob Glidden was whippin' the field week after week, he might get a one word blurb out and then you'd never hear from him again.
I can't answer about their website as I watched it on tv. I've never tried ESPN3 before though! Do you have a link you could share?
They just don't seem to want to televise racing anymore, they all want to televise drama!!!! Maybe some feeble attempt to get the non-race fans to watch or something. All this drama crap is taped prior to the event, then no matter what is happening at the event they play the tapes.....
So true! Look in the stands at the NASCAR races, huge holes of empty seats. It seems worse after the tracks installed all that new seating too! And ESPN only goes to where the viewers are. Otherwise a race could get covered around midnite.Quote:
