Went to the NHRA SuperNationals at Englishtown last Friday. I've been there a number of times in the past, but never for Friday qualifying, when they run one round of Pro class qualifying after dark. The weekend was marred by the loss of Scott Kalitta during Saturday's qualifying rounds.

Looks like this Challenger inhaled a Chevy on the way to the starting line icon_wink.gif

You get up close and personal with the cars in the pits at an NHRA event!

In the various Mod and Sportsman classes, you see an interesting mix of cars. Here we see another example of Mopar's dominance over the GM crowd icon_smile.gif

Now it's time for the Pro classes, starting with Pro Stock.

When the sun goes down, you can really see the nitromethane flames from the Funny Car and Top Fuel Dragsters.
