    Nitro funny car coincidence?

    Tj and I went out to Norwalk for their inaugural national event. A friend of mine does the clutch for Mike Ashley's fuel funny car. We show up and help out a bit grinding clutch discs (hold flashlight for Cameron) and they win the event. Coincidence?

    Cool, now you can see how much work goes on behind the fence that the average dude does not see or know about. Racing ain't easy or cheap!!!!

    yup, they kill 5 clutch discs, 4 steel floaters, a flywheel, and a pressure plate every run. damn!

    Its pretty crazy watching them having to drop a whole short block in the car in 50 minutes. It took us about 4 hours to get Tj's out of his truck.

    That must have been a good time. Must have been cool to watch them turn around the car in 75 minutes up close. I like the paint scheme on Ashley's FC.

    Norwalk's a great facility & they've made more improvements to it since they signed up the NHRA.
