This is a discussion on will we see a sweep? within the NHRA forum, part of the Pit Area category; Well hopefully John Force can catch fire and sweep the deal. That would certainly be a boost for the Castrol ...

Well hopefully John Force can catch fire and sweep the deal. That would certainly be a boost for the Castrol camp. (oh, and not literally catch fire)

I'd love to see KJ sweep the deal too, but that isn't likely at all.

I know Dixon swept the Swing in 2003, but didn't Greg Anderson do it more recently??

I really think Doug Kalitta could do it. He runs good on the hill, and he has done GREAT in Sonoma ever since he started racing top fuel.

For sure it Won't Happen in Pro Stock maybe in TF or FC... but I'm betting the chance is "Slim to None"

Here is the bet.. if any Pro sweeps all 3 races
I'll donate $100 to Draw if NOT someone here HAS to help me get my avatar up and working

My guess is Larry Dixon!

I seem to remember the front cover of the National Dragster with Larry holding a broom in the winners circle at Sonoma.

I voted no on this one, just because all of the Pro classes are so competitive this year. It would be a real tough deal to pull off three in a row. Someone may be ready to break away from the pack, but I don't think so.

I think Doug Kalitta has the best shot at it...

I think that Dougie K or Shoe could pull it off. I would love to see KJ do it, but not sure if it could happen. In FC the consistency of Capps will pay off. I would expect them to win one or two during the swing.

Even though I voted no, don't think anyone will do it, I think if someone does do it, it'll be Capps, or Scelzi in FC or Kalitta in top fuel. That's IF. I don't think it'll happen. And I can't remember who was the last one. As I get older, I find that my brain has been jettisoning brain cells to stay afloat.

I couldn’t stand it….. I had to look through the archives at ND to see if I remembered correctly.

Sure enough…..August 2003

Same with Ron, but I'll say that Ron will go 0 for 3. Force 2 for 3.
Greg 0 for 3, and Pro Stock is to tough to say who'll win what, but I hope KJ can take 1 race atleast.
