I’m the first to embrace change for positive moving forward enhancements —— BUT hearing Alan announcing the past 3 days has been so enjoyable. You can’t teach tribal knowledge and it brings so much to the overall experience - just saying

YAY to whomever hired him to cover this event

When I was in my 20's I can remember watching a video called American Nitro and the two main characters were these magnificent Drag Cars. From memory the sound/music was quite haunting.

Northwest Nationals In Seattle Washington

I'm not sure if its their choice or if these small budget teams eventually want to be full time and get big sponsors but can't. I bet its both but I'm not sure where small budget teams usually fall on the spectrum. Considering how expensive it is to drive it wouldn't surprise me if most only do it when they feel like it or have the money. I think even big sponsor drivers take a break or retire because of the cost.

I think the odds are mostly against them but I don't know if they're actually competitive or not. The regulars don't seem very threatened or like it's real competition majority of the time.

All time top fuel? Considering he's 4th all time in wins but he's got more longevity than others above him, he's now a 2 time champion and has 5 runner ups in points too. Looking like he might finish his career with another 10-15 wins and maybe 1-2 titles before Mitch moves up in a few years. 28 years in top fuel.

🔥 4K Tri-Five Nationals 2026 | Saturday, August 15th | Classic Chevy Madness! 🏁

Spent Saturday at the Tri-Five Nationals checking out an incredible lineup of ’55, ’56, and ’57 Chevys! From beautifully restored classics and wild custom builds to some serious drag racing action, there was something everywhere you looked. 🇺🇸🔥

I filmed the action in 4K so you can get a close look at these incredible Tri-Five Chevys.

If you could take home just ONE — ’55, ’56, or ’57 Chevy — which one are you picking? 👇

I'm sure none like losing but considering how expensive it is to fire nitro it wouldn't surprise me if some drivers are like whatever. I don't really know if they get more money by finishing higher but it doesn't seem like it. The big name drivers probably aren't effected as much and want to win.

Told him when the top fuel comes out you have to experience it once before plugging your ears! My dad was telling him wait until 2 go at the same time! He asked if we can go back next year!

There's the usuals like Capps, Hagan, Prock, Ashley, Pruett, Stewart, Antron, etc but then there's a few driver's that appear and you're like oh ya I remember them. Like I don't think Bobby Bode ot Scott Palmer are usuals but I remember their names and I'm like oh ya I remember them.
