Keep ahold of those top two spots, Nick and Bud - nice work!

Figures, I take a break from Steve Johnson (one of my favorite racers) and he wins his first race since 2014.
Still happy for him, though.

Hey guys, cut me a little slack on posting both the qualifying and race results from the SpringNationals.
Our Inland Mopars Car Clubs annual charity-benefit car show is tomorrow (05/23) and I've got to be at the show venue at 5:00AM. I'm not sure what time I'll be home or when I'll get to see the replay of the race from the DVR.
I'll get the results posted as quick as possible but the next NHRA national event isn't until June 11-13.

Eliminations were rained out today. Supposed to resume tomorrow.

I tried to find it & it wasn't listed on my Comcast directory...
I think they said yesterday it was supposed to be 3:00pm est Monday/today
I just checked the NHRA site
it's already over
IIRC
T/F Steve Torrence won & runner up was Doug Kalitta
F/C Robert Hight won & runner up was Ron Capps
P/S Matt Hartford won & runner up was Deric Kramer

looks by the ET's & MPH's in the finals
'the track wasn't too good' later in the rounds
the #'s early looked good rounds #1-3, #4th/finals was not steller

don't shoot me if its wrong going off memory
