Dragtime News On Location: NHRA AutoPlus Nationals / Maple Grove Raceway, October 2013
 

Larry Morgan over here and Jeg Coughlin, Jr. over there, backing up from their burnouts. Jeg takes the win, but Morgan gave him a run.
Greg Anderson heats the sneakers.
Greg really stood up here with a monster .013 light against Richie Stevens, who came up late.
Pro Stock Motorcycle, Round 1: Eddie Krawiec takes an easy win over a red-lighting Adam Arana.

Look at Eddie. He's well past the 660 ft. and still skitching the front tire on and off the track!
Here's John Hall, who goes .101 on the 'Tree... and wins? When Shawn Gann in the other lane goes .104 and then runs a tenth slower it's pretty hard to lose. Front tire also still off the ground.
Top Alcohol Funny Car, Round 2: Todd Veney in Jay Blake's Permatex / Follow A Dream TAFC.
Veney squares off against Andy Bohl.

Check out this burst sequence. Bohl starts losing it, crosses into the centerline and starts Bohling for timing blocks. His funny car alternates between the left front and right rear tires being off the ground. This could have gotten really bad as he was close to Todd, but luckily Todd was pulling away. Andy eases it back and smartly lifts off the throttle. Nice save, man.

Dan Pomponio laying down a long and beautiful burnout.
The legend, Frank Manzo in the other lane.

Hard-core racers and hard-core fans: my friends Arlene and Steve Russell. Arlene in her Dragtime News t-shirt and Steve in his Englishtown bracket finals team t-shirt.
Top Alcohol Dragster, Round 2: Jeff Veale.
Poetry in motion.
