Okay race fans, K&N Nationals

Who in the tri-state area is planning on going to the K&N Nationals at Raceway Park June 17-19? I just got my tickets for Friday, the 17th for qualifications (there are still reserved tickets available...I'm at the starting line, pit-side, section 4).

For those of you who have never been to a National Event (top fuel, baby ), there is nothing like the smell of nitromethane in the morning, noon, or evening.

There is nothing like the smell of a Top Fuel car. The ground shakes and the noise is so cool.

If I lived closer, I'd be there!

Love the sight & sound of AA Fuelers, and funny cars.

I live 4-5 miles from Firebird, first time the NHRA showed up after I moved in I thought some dude was driving up and down our block with a harley.

Couldn't figure it out. Then realized the NHRA was at firebird. Those things make an awesome amount of noise.

You can probably pencil me in for the Maple Grove event later on, if you still plan on attending...

Since the CFA will be over by then....I may consider doing the qualifiers on the 17th with you...did you purchase the tickets online from Raceway Park?


I will do some searching in the meantime.

Bill,

I called Raceway Park and ordered them with my CC. I'll have them next week in the mail.
