a lot of teams have shifted crew members, Team Qatar of Saudi land has lured away many crewchiefs and they had 2-3 top fuel dragster entered.

Antron Brown, changed camp and sorry but he sucked this last weekend.


it was nice to see the privateers out, no decals or sponsorship, just running 3-4 races a year out of their own pocket...


All of the Force Family, Buck Tooth John and Smokin hot daughters were all out signing autographs and it's awesome you can stand literally shake their hands or touch their cars. They made it look so easy to be hounded by the crowds to sign something......

no other pro-level performance sport I can recall has the fan interaction, not F1, Indy, Nascar, football baseball, maybe basketball if you're sitting next to Jack Nicolson in the front row......


it's VERY cool in that regard, People get free car parts, I could of brought home a clutch disk if I'd wanted, all signed, tires or blower belts and such.

good karma.
