Let's go Nitro !!!

Arkansas, Little Rock - Report by Ava. Today, we will give information about Let's go Nitro !!! .

Oh !!! Just got back from that far too much fun at the NHRA Las Vegas Nationals.

Two years ago, I never had a race, and a not exactly zero interest in going. But then I discuss some photo shoots with some of the teams shoot promo pieces and sponsor stuff, and my first day on the job I was hooked.

Funny car driver Tony Pedregon nailed it when he said that until you actually go to a race, you really do not get what its all about. I try to explain to people that you can actually feel the sound, but only those who have been getting what I'm saying.

Anyway, the weekend was strategically very important for the team, as it was the last for the Big Daddy-finals in Pomona, California, November 12 - 15.
This was an important weekend for the drivers and teams in the chase for the championship, and each round is stressful (and wild and exciting !!!).

I was lucky enough to be there with some really fun friends. John Amorosano known nationwide on Twitter NHRA fans as @NitroJohn. Every weekend he called the play, live, and the NHRA nation will be able to keep up with the scores as she has done


NitroJohn and Jeni Amorosano -. Two of the most fun people I was lucky enough to know!

We were the guests of Don Schumacher Racing (DSR), home to 7 of the most exciting teams.
I had not expected to Don to be there to greet guests as we arrived. I was so impressed with his friendly and fun attitude, and really thought he most gracious host



Don Schumacher - fantastic hosts, great man.


My work for the day? Like Twitter you pdated

after each round we would come back and I want to fill the twitter gang up on the goings on. I am tweeting the race for NitroJohn, who worked the cameras.

We have the largest part of our race time in the NAPA hospitality suite, which is where one of my favorite Funny Car drivers Ron Capps is.


Capps warm up the engine pre-race.


The Napa Auto Parts Capps phone, instead burnout, ready to tear it up, oh, 300 km!

He is such a character! If you will follow my blog know that I have a couple of hilarious NAPA ads Ron do sponsored racer, NASCAR's Michael Waltrip posted by fellow NAPA.


DSR is also home to Funny Car drivers Matt Hagan, and Fast Jack Beckman, who made it to the finals on Sunday, and although he had 303 miles per hour with a 15.04 second run, was just edged out the win by Robert Height who 304 miles per hour and there in 12.4 seconds.

This is Jack Beckman. Really funny cat! I cheered so hard for him in the final, but obviously not hard enough for Height managed to sail through it. By 0.03 of a second

It's funny car Jack's doing his burnout. He and his main sponsor, MTS had fab thing we all postcards to send messages to soldiers in Afghanistan and Iraq. MTS has been delivering them for free.
I have nice things, not my usual nonsense ...


This is Matt Hagan. He rounds out the DSR Funny Car team.

and it is Hagan wagon. Is not cool?

There are three Top Fuel dragsters in DSR
Tony Schumacher drives the US Army car, and is the leader in the points.


Tony Schumacher in his US Army well.

Tony's top fueller during burnout.

Cory Mac drives From car, and in fact, drove it all the way to the semi-finals on Sunday.
I'm always cheering for Cory. He is on Twitter @Cory_Mac_TF

only seem as karaoke. Really his driver intros in Napa suite


anthrone Brown raced motorcycles for DSR before heading off to a top fueller drive elsewhere, but as of last week (or so ) he and his Matco tools Top Fuel dragster is DSR



Here anthrone the driver introductions

... and here she is driving. He swept the Western Swing this summer, which is crazy loud, crazy cool!

DSR also Matt Smith, motorcycles riding them.

US Army hospitality suite



It was such a fantastic day, and I do not really care to DSR thanks for being such an amazing host!

You can follow on Twitter @shoeracing

And, of course, I can not write about Ron Capps without placing another side hilarious Napa ads with Michael Waltrip.

enjoy
