NYC probably has a sound ordinance that would preclude firing up a nitro car.
Most New Yorkers wouldn't notice if you made a pass through Times Square with a fuel car.

I love New Yorkers! It is great people watchin'!!!
It was the Hot Dog Stand Digger, and I know the local PD would not let him, either fire it up, or do the pre-planned burnout... I could use the help also...

Martin slamming me on threads I don't even read... That was good though...
Just wait til SCDC, and WE are making a full pull BRO!!

Re: Good Morning Drag racing!

Do I have to get up early for this? I think Melanie was on Fox & Friends before - and it was totally lame - they didn't have a clue about drag racing. I think they raced scooters or something - waste of time to stay tuned.

Talking Re: Good Morning Drag racing!

Somebody posted a photo of Broadway Freddie doing a burnout at Coney Island a while back, also I think it was Bruce Larson did a burnout in downtown Boston to promote a F/C race at New England Dragway back in the day. Whatever, Cool chit! Perhaps the local watch vendors in times square could offer special pricing for the big event!!!!

After the tragedy in Tenn. these ladies had better be well prepped if they do get on the show. No doubt, they'll be fielding questions about the crash.

Amen to that Mike.

I was talking with someone earlier today about the crash and how it was being reported. To my shock, he told me that NBC acutally took the time to educate it's viewers by showing them what a drag strip is, how there are barriers between the track and spactators, and on and on about the safety of sanctioned drag racing. He called the crash a stupid mistake indicative of street racing not drag racing,

Re: Good Morning Drag racing!

These ladies are well schooled in pr. I am sure they will be perpared to answer the questions. Remeber it did not happen at a NHRA track. The only problem is AMS Pro Mod will also be at Englishtown this weekend. It may come up on the show.

This has transcended from being a "feel good" piece to hard news. The questions will be pointed and will have to be answered in a forth right manner with no "cover up" or avoidance. What's done is done, unfortunately, but IMO, these women do have an opportunity to put a positive Face to Professional DR in light of the preceding tragedy. They will have to be well prepared by a news media professional, and then answer as the stand up women they are in their own words. This may well be a defining moment for DR.

Re: Good Morning Drag racing!

Since AMS pro mods are in E-town, will the entire AMS team sit out? No doubt Troy won't be driving for awhile...
