ORD at the NHRA Nationals

August 30, 2010 By Dan Thornton 2 Comments

Greetings ORD fans around the world! Time for a little show and tell at this years BIR Lucas Oil Full Throttle NHRA Nationals in Brainerd Minnesota two weeks ago!

This is the motorsports event of the year in the great north woods, and one I always attend with my trusty and knowledgeable sidekick “Cuda500” (a.k.a. Warren). Rather than give you a boring list of names of winners and losers from a sport that I realize many of you have no knowledge of, I’ll just caption the following pictures for you.

The BIR Tower where we normally sit during the pro rounds, just above the “o” in the word international.
Andrew Hines doing what he does best.

Pro Stock cars, 500 cubic inch, normally aspirated bad asses!

A lucky fan gets her chance to sit in a Pro Stock Car. Or are we the lucky ones? Hmmm.

Old school dreams, when Garlits was king.
This years main sponsor!



Super Comp, the most fan hated and reviled form of drag racing ever concieved. Throttle stops, electronic launch, computer control, the bane of drag racing. Boooooooo!

Stock Eliminator running in the low 10s.



Some people are just never happy.
The Pits! Notice the ear plugging and watery eyes? That’s thanks to Top Fuel and Funny Car test starting, and nitro methane. hehe! Nothing like a shot of nitros in the mornin!

The most supported best of everything teams of Al-Anabi Racing. Money is no object for the Sheik.
Girls rule in pro Stock Bike, unless Andrew Hines shows up on his Screaming Eagle Harley as he did in this event. Hines won with a 6.941 @ 191.00mph


Well, I hope I wasn’t too brief and that you all enjoyed the pictures. I can’t show you what happened each every night after the races, but drinking adult beverages was high on the list.

Full Throttle,

GTDon

    Man, I would love to get the chance to drive one of those, well except for the Super Comp ones, doesn’t seem like much sport in that!

    You are right about the night life too, the parties are the best part about races, IMHO 🙂

    Yes indeed, a fun time had by all! As for driving a car with 8,000hp, uh, nah, I think I’ll leave the death machines to the pro’s. lol

    As you can see, unlike other high end motorsports, you can get right up close and personal with the cars and the drivers, a somewhat unique advantage for fans of drag racing. Through the years drag racing has always had this element of grass roots fan access, and have never forgotten where they came from, and how important close contact with the fans really is.
