Realize this is the opening event at Pomona. Wait until the bulk of the season to see how big the fields really are.

 

[JFrechJr]

Wouldnt exactly call all of those "full" fields haha



Hopefully they stay that way.

Have to see how the economy's doing, but just 3 weeks ago everyone was predicting 9-10 TF cars at Pomona, Amazing!

Racers will hock the family jewels to race! This just proves it. Where there is a will there is a way! Believe me, I can remember thinking we couldn't afford the gas to go, but somehow we always found it!

And this is why Tom Compton will continue to be a money hungry p****. Because he knows everyone will continue to show up.

Since when is 14 Top Fuelers a full field!

 

[megadeth]

Forget the fields lets see what the stands look like that will be the real gauge.

 

[megadeth]

Off the wall question now that Oakley no longer sponsors a car will they still be selling at National events?

Compared to the 9-10 we were suppose to see in December it looks like a full field!

Good point Joe!
What I'm surprised to see is that Kurt and Warren are entered did they get sponsorships in the last minute? Kurts entry says he is sponsored by the same company that they claimed told them they were not renewing for 09'.
Somethings fishy! LOL
Enrty list only indicates they intend on participating its another story to show up and qualify all 4 times!

Our UK Andy Carter

Our UK Andy Carter

Ahhh prey for our Big Dogs!
If he even qualifies!

 

[unclebob]

Hartley and Carter make 16, maybe they'll update the page.

 

[Rumblebones]

16 is the magic number any way you slice it, and NHRA is gonna spin like there's no tommorrow. Qualifying days kinda lose a little luster from down fields.

Can we give some love to the alchohol F/C class? 24 entrants.

As of 1/13/09, F/C and P/S are way down from previous Winternats. P/S averaged near 30 entries and F/C at 24.

 

[mick]

also can we give sum luv to mr. gary densham; previous years had talk
about slim finances, but always persevered thru entire season.
this pre-season all i've read about gary is his great performance in australia
and as usual showing on pomona entry list.
i'm assuming party marty is again in his corner?

Absolutely!

 

[none]

Last year we ONLY had ..

TF 17
FC 23
PS 22

That's what were listed as attempted to make the show and that was before the sky fell in.

 

[mw6789]

Bet there are some entries that will be no shows.
